Evergreen Cottages Jasmine Cottage is a purpose-built memory care home in Katy, Texas, with 16 beds, secured courtyards, walking paths, and well-kept gardens where residents can enjoy time outdoors safely, and the place really shows a country-style touch with nice views of the lawn and neighborhood. The community takes care of seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia, and the cottages carry names like Jasmine Cottage to help with easy identification. Licensed nurses and special caregivers experienced with dementia provide help 24 hours a day, and staff receive ongoing training to handle behavioral needs, wandering, and difficult symptoms. Residents get help with everything-bathing, dressing, eating, medication, laundry, and daily housekeeping-all in a home-like, small-scale setting. The "Taking Their Walk" philosophy means care adapts every day to suit how a person feels, and the staff try to understand individual routines and personalities, defending both comfort and dignity. There are private bathrooms, wheelchair access, and safety features, including security bracelets to reduce risks for those prone to wander. The community is pet-friendly, so residents can keep a dog or cat, and there's standby help for transfers, including mechanical lifts for those who need that support.
Meals are provided three times a day, with snacks always available, and they can meet dietary needs like vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal, diabetic, and several others. Activities fill the day, from music, art, and gardening, to chair yoga and Tai Chi, and the full-time activity director keeps a schedule that includes everything-holiday celebrations, pet therapy, massage, visits from youth groups, and things like simple chores to give purpose, like folding linens or setting tables. Onsite, there's a salon and beauty services, and people can also join devotional services or enjoy relaxing in the living room by the fireplace, a library, and a covered patio for fresh air. Monitoring systems are in place to watch over care and respect privacy, and doctors visit routinely as needed.
The location is close to grocery stores like Wal-Mart, malls, pharmacies, and medical facilities, and has good highway access for families coming to see their loved ones. Jasmine Cottage welcomes people under 55, will manage residents at risk for wandering, or with challenging behaviors, and can help those who need reminders for grooming and daily activities or who need injections like insulin. The home accepts hospice and respite care when needed and has options for independent living or home care, although the main focus is on memory care with personalized plans and a compassionate environment for residents, their families, and caregivers.
