Courtyard Gardens sits in Wichita Falls and has a long-standing history, having gone by other names like Colonial Manor and Wichita Falls Convalescent Center, and it's now independently owned by McCaskill Health Care LLC. This place is a senior living community with different care types under one roof, like independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home care-so folks can stay here as their needs change, with 60 certified beds out of 109 for skilled nursing, according to Texas Health and Human Services. Courtyard Gardens takes Medicare and Medicaid, and it's a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), which means there are different choices for housing and levels of support, including specialized help for memory loss and for folks with disabilities or diseases. People looking to move in can sign up for tours where they can talk to staff and residents and see what daily life is like-the staff provide 24-hour supervision, personal care like help with bathing, dressing, medication, and transfers, and there's a 24-hour call system for safety.
Rooms come in different layouts and have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, phone, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and some are furnished for an easier move-in. This community has a main dining room with meals cooked by a chef, and there are allergy-friendly and diabetes-friendly meals, as well as all-day dining options. The grounds include gardens and looping walking paths, and there are many activities for residents, such as an arts room, a library, game and movie rooms, fitness programs, a spa and wellness area, music programs, and opportunities for resident-run groups and community-sponsored events. Residents get help with daily chores like laundry, housekeeping, and transportation, plus concierge service, move-in help, and emergency alert systems. Courtyard Gardens also offers care like nursing services for up to 16 hours a day, with personalized plans aimed at encouraging independence and well-being. Memory care is available for folks living with Alzheimer's and similar conditions, and people who need more help can get non-ambulatory care and assistance with transferring from beds or chairs.
