The community allows up to 25 residents and offers private and shared rooms, all fully furnished, with air-conditioning, kitchenettes, and private bathrooms, so folks can have comfort and privacy but call for help right away if they need it thanks to a 24-hour call system and supervision. The staff helps with bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication management, and each person has a personalized care plan designed for their specific needs, so whether someone needs assisted living, memory care, or just a bit of extra help, they'll find trained staff available at any hour.
Boyds Home offers prepared meals every day and gives everyone choices with all-day dining options, reserved private dinner spaces, and the ability to accommodate diabetes, allergies, and other special diets, using organic food and healthy ingredients when possible. There's a general wellness checkup done every month, regular exercise sessions, and music and animal therapy for those who find that helpful. Housekeeping, dry cleaning, move-in coordination, and laundry come as part of the maintenance-free living, so residents don't have to cook or clean unless they want to. Folks can keep their independence but get assistance when they need it, and the services span independent living, assisted living, respite care, hospice care, dementia and memory care, and adult foster care.
Residents can stay busy with a long list of activities-more than 18 amenities are offered, including craft plans, music programs, workout sessions, movie nights, community-sponsored events, and outings with transportation provided to doctor's appointments and trips into the area. People can visit the salon or stylist, soak in the jacuzzi or sauna, read in the library, stroll garden paths, gather in the play area or yard, or just sit and relax with friends during organized community night events. There's also a wellness area, telephone service, internet access, cable TV, and a dedicated cinema room for entertainment.
The community is licensed by the state of Texas as an assisted living home, with license number 146149, and it's licensed for four official assisted living beds, meeting all the standards required for adult residential care. Boyds Home is not overseen by the Department of Social Services but is subject to certain local and state surveys, like those from the Department of Aging and Veteran's Services and DADS for foster care. Whether someone wants help now and then or needs daily support with personal care, they'd find themselves in a homelike setting made for safety, comfort, and personal attention at Boyds Home.
