Abba Care Assisted Living sits in Garland, Texas, on a quiet street surrounded by manicured lawns, housed in a charming redbrick colonial building that has plenty of history, having served seniors since 2003, and you know, there's something about a place that's kept its doors open to families for over 20 years that gives a sense of steadiness and reliability, plus you'll notice the staff brings a gentle, hands-on approach, offering support that feels personal, probably because the whole setup is relatively small, with only 16 licensed beds, allowing for a family-like feeling where everyone knows everyone and help's always nearby. The residents get plenty of help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, cooking, and medication reminders when needed, and the care extends to situations when folks need more attention due to diabetes, memory challenges, or getting older in general, which is why home health and memory care services are something to be aware of at this facility, supported by dietician, physician, and geriatric care.
Each suite is comfortable and thought out, with televisions, bathrooms, kitchenettes, smoke alarms, and emergency call systems-of course safety is a solid focus, with things like safety rails in hallways, sliding bathroom doors with handlebars, walk-in showers, and emergency lights, not to mention the hallways are short, so nobody's got to walk too far to get what they need, and visitors usually appreciate the wheelchair access, the ample parking, and the air-conditioned indoor areas, with public spaces like the living room, music room, and library well used every day. Folks take part in shopping trips, music programs, crafts classes, and even water aerobics, and there's always a library with books, daily papers, magazines, and puzzles, not to forget the on-site beauty shop, exercise room with bikes and treadmills, and a separate activity room with stove, oven, refrigerator, and microwave, which makes family gatherings and parties pretty easy to organize, and the routine includes three hot meals cooked by chef and meal planners, making sure meals are both nutritious and matching a variety of tastes and backgrounds.
You'll find that staff helps with laundry, suite repairs, housekeeping, and linen service, so families don't have to worry about those chores, plus they provide transportation for medical visits or outings and even offer short stay options when someone needs just a few days of support. The community tries hard to make sure no one feels left out, setting up social, educational, and recreational activities each week, from exercise classes and interest clubs to talks given by local community leaders, and on top of that, devotional services and community events help lift the mood. Safety and comfort show up in big and small ways, like private studios and one- or two-bedroom suites suited for independence, open kitchen and dining spaces, and communal living areas planned for easy movement and visiting with neighbors or family.
Abba Care Assisted Living is licensed by the state of Texas, works with long-term non-acute care, and doesn't take Medicare unless certified for it, but it's clear the community is designed for people who need daily support while aiming to keep everyone as independent as possible, and when health needs change, personalized care plans can be adjusted to fit what's required, so residents and families know help's there but independence is always respected. This community enjoys its close ties with Garland's hospitals and doctors, and the senior management and ownership are known for being visible and involved. Outings, classes, and music lift spirits, and the memory services, emergency policies, and kind staff mean people find more than just a place to live-they find routines, friendships, and peace of mind, with a focus on each person's safety, comfort, and well-being, all rooted in a setting that's stood the test of time.
