Margaret's Home Care Services sits in a quiet Houston neighborhood at 6703 Escondido Drive and offers a small, homey setting with only six licensed beds for seniors who want a comfortable place that still lets them keep their independence as much as possible, and you'll find both private and semi-private room options. Folks living here get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and managing medicines, and there are skilled nurses and caregivers around 24/7, including special staff trained for Alzheimer's and dementia, so there's always someone nearby if help is needed. You'll see special touches in the place, such as wheelchair-accessible showers, bathtubs, and safety measures that keep people protected without taking away their privacy. There are outdoor patios, a backyard garden with a fountain, and well-kept communal spaces with TVs and places to read or watch movies, plus there's free WiFi in rooms and common areas.
Meals get planned by meal planners or chefs and come in fresh each day, with special diets for needs like diabetes, kidney problems, or low-sodium requests, and staff keep an eye on every person to make sure nutritional needs are met and changed if a doctor says so; snacks are around, too. Margaret's is pet-friendly, letting dogs and cats stay in private rooms, and people who need short-term respite care can get that help. Laundry, housekeeping, and linen changes happen regularly, and guests who visit will find parking on site.
You'll find activities most days, from gardening to watching TV or just spending time with others in group events, though things stay simple and low-stress, especially for those in memory care, as staff aim to help prevent confusion or worry. Margaret's has both English and Spanish speakers on staff and provides care for a wide range of needs-assisted living, memory care, independent living, care home services, nursing and hospice care, and rehabilitation. The home is licensed with the state and reviews from families and residents are strong, averaging nearly five stars from those who've lived there or had loved ones stay. Pricing ranges by room type, and payment by check is accepted.
Help with things like transfers, insulin monitoring, medication reminders, and personal care like grooming or incontinence support is all included, too. Residents have the option to participate in communal dining or eat in their own rooms if that suits better. There's always staff available in case someone needs urgent support, and there are a variety of lifestyle options for seniors, including options for those who simply want independent living in a maintenance-free set up with social activities, or those who need daily nursing support or are in need of memory-enhancing activities and structured routines. Margaret's takes care to ensure seniors are treated with warmth, paying attention to maintaining privacy while offering support as needed, which makes for a gentler transition from living alone to getting more help in a peaceful, residential environment.
