Youngblood Elder Care

Youngblood Elder Care sits at 308 North 20th Street in Lamesa, Texas, and serves older adults needing daily support or memory care in a small, home-like setting. The facility has two parts, providing assisted living for up to nine residents and specialized memory care for four residents, all in private or semi-private rooms. Staff offer help around the clock with bathing, dressing, grooming, transfers, and medication management, keeping a high caregiver-to-resident ratio so people don't wait long for help. Meals are home-cooked three times a day in the dining room, and staff work to meet special diets for people with diabetes or food allergies. Residents can take part in group and one-on-one activities like music therapy, art, tabletop games, and animal therapy, or enjoy movie nights, fitness sessions, and book room visits. There's also a garden, walking paths, and a yard for fresh air. For relaxation, the place has a salon, jacuzzi, sauna, and recreation rooms, and caregivers arrange for haircuts or barber services to come in. The whole property is secured, with locked entrances and a protected memory care area so people with memory problems don't wander off, and there's always someone around to keep an eye on things. Transportation to doctor visits, religious services, shopping centers, parks, or the movies gets organized by staff when needed. The place makes sure rooms are furnished, housekeeping and laundry get done, and every resident gets help making medical appointments. Youngblood Elder Care aims for a comfortable, personal feeling, making sure people don't feel like a number, and has oversight from state licensing to keep standards in place.
