Grace Homestead LLC, also called Joy Assisted Living III at Hillcrest House, sits at 3208 Plumstead, Dallas, TX 75228, and holds license number 147307. The home stands out as a smaller community with just seven beds, so residents can get more personal attention and form real bonds with the staff, who folks describe as loving, caring, helpful, joyful, and kind. The place has a cozy and quiet feeling, which many seniors seem to prefer over bigger facilities, and the staff don't come and go much, so there's always a familiar face around. They've got private rooms and apartments with different layouts, like one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom choices, plus in-room kitchenettes and private baths. The board and care homes feel like a close-knit residential neighborhood, and live-in caregivers help with daily activities like dressing and bathing. For bathing, the facility has wheelchair-accessible showers, bathtubs, and private areas for personal care.
Grace Homestead provides a range of care including assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, respite care, hospice care, incontinence care, high acuity care, ambulatory and non-ambulatory care, diabetic care, and professional nursing care, even for more complex health conditions. A nurse is always on staff, and residents have medication management, wound care, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and other health services when needed. Meals come included, and those with special dietary needs like kosher or vegetarian can have what they need. If someone wants, room service is also an option, and there are private or shared dining areas.
Seniors living here can stay active thanks to indoor and outdoor common areas, walking paths, gardens, a butterfly and hummingbird garden, an enclosed courtyard, and raised garden beds. There's a beauty salon, barber shop, spa, billiards table, piano or organ, a ballroom, fitness center, gymnasium, theater, computer or media center, library, arts and crafts center, woodworking shop, and party and meeting rooms. Memory care stands out for secure spaces, specialized programs, memory-enhancing activities, 24-hour support, and systems like Wander Guard to keep residents safe.
Residents can bring dogs and cats thanks to pet-friendly rules. People can park on-site, and there are secure community gates, plus parking for residents and visitors, and transportation is available if someone needs a ride to an appointment or wants to attend an outing, with both complimentary and paid options. The staff speak many different languages such as English, Spanish, French, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Portuguese, Tagalog, and more, so people from many backgrounds feel at home.
Social and recreational activities run regularly, including structured programs to keep life lively and pleasant, so residents can make friends, keep their minds sharp, and enjoy each day. Housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning come included, so living feels easy and maintenance-free, and folks don't have to worry about daily chores. Grace Homestead uses an all-inclusive rent model, which covers the main services, and they've earned high marks for keeping both the place and services tidy and reliable. Seniors needing short-term care or giving caregivers a rest can stay for a respite, and optional support lets independent living residents keep their freedom while still having help close by. The environment fits those who want privacy and independence, or those needing round-the-clock medical care or help with memory issues, and everyone's care plan matches their changing needs, so they can keep living where they feel comfortable as their needs change over time.
