Aimee's House - Chattington is a small assisted living home in Texas licensed for just eight residents, so people who need more support find a quieter setting and steady attention. Residents live in private or semi-private rooms inside a converted house, with wheelchair-accessible showers and shared bathrooms, and the atmosphere feels calm and homey, like a bed and breakfast. There's round-the-clock supervision, and caregivers can help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, moving around, taking medicine, and supporting people who have memory loss, Parkinson's disease, or incontinence. English, Filipino, and Spanish are spoken by staff. Caregivers have experience with dementia and also provide help for high medical needs, non-ambulatory care, and end-of-life support with hospice care through VNA Hospice if needed. Meals are cooked from scratch, served three times a day in the dining room, and special diets such as diabetic, vegetarian, kosher, and allergy-sensitive can be managed. An on-call doctor, nurses, and specialists like dentists and podiatrists visit, while Heritage HomeCare, a Medicare certified agency, connects residents with skilled nurses and therapists who come into the home.
There's a focus on comfort-people get help with daily living, routines are tailored individually, and residents can join daily fitness classes, game nights, movie nights, walks in the garden or backyard, devotional services, and community-sponsored events. Laundry, housekeeping, linen service, and move-in coordination are all arranged for you, so daily chores aren't a burden. People gather in the living and dining rooms or sit outside on the covered patio and enjoy the outdoor garden with walking paths, and those who want quiet can sit in the large library or join chapel service. Transportation and parking are on site, and the community arranges rides for shopping trips, medical visits, or planned outings. Medication is managed safely, and health needs are checked on a routine basis with assessments that guide care and meals. The team supports independence by encouraging residents to walk freely, have pets, join group activities, and stay as involved as they wish.
The community accepts men or women, and the small size keeps the ratio of caregivers to residents low. There's a respite program for short stays, and support for both seniors and their families, even offering pet care services and home health options if needed. The setting is designed for people who want a quiet, predictable, supportive place to live as they age and face health changes, and the approach is straightforward, with everything arranged to encourage dignity, safety, and a bit of home comfort.
