lighthouse of care

Lighthouse of Care sits over on Ken Avenue in Arlington, Texas, and doesn't say much for itself, but the place carries a Type B license with six bedrooms and beds, which lets it help folks who need more than basic care, including those who can't get around by themselves or need help in an emergency, so you find 24-hour staff onsite, including a registered nurse, and caregivers who act like family, making sure everyone gets help with bathing, dressing, moving around, and taking their medicine, even if they're in a wheelchair, needing transfer or more hands-on support. The care there covers a lot: assisted living, skilled nursing, independent apartments, memory care for folks with dementia, and even hospice, all under the Lighthouse of Care name, so plans get tailored to each resident, whether someone just needs medicine reminders or has diabetes or needs incontinence help, and for those with allergies or diabetes, they fix up special meals, with daily dining in shared rooms. The house itself is furnished, offers phone access in the rooms, and provides laundry and housekeeping, with everything on one level, so people can head out into the gardens or stroll along walking paths, and there's an emergency alert system, plus plenty of parking and transportation for trips to doctors, shops, or local events. Folks get to join in community activities, like movie nights or devotional groups, and sometimes they head out for offsite outings or stay in for social events, with the place coordinating care smoothly with healthcare providers when needed. The facility says staff are always on duty, watching out so everyone stays safe, and they can answer questions or set up visits most any time, even weekends or evenings, as long as you call ahead. Lighthouse of Care is licensed as a for-profit by the state, covers the Arlington and Dallas/Fort Worth area, and is recognized by both the Department of Aging and Veteran's Services for doing its job to care for seniors and ease families' worries, with a steady supervised setting for folks who can't be by themselves anymore.
