Royal Villa

Royal Villa sits at 1184 Boca Chica in Brownsville, Texas, and offers a board and care home setting where staff try to make things feel calm, homelike, and secure for seniors who need help with daily life, but can still get around and like some independence, and what you'll find there is a place with only nine assisted living units, so things feel small and familiar, and they handle a range of care types including assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, and recovery care after surgery. They create custom care plans and develop service plans made to fit each person, so if someone needs more help with bathing, dressing, toileting, moving, or even hand-feeding, the staff takes care of that, and they keep 24-hour supervision with awake and trained staff, including two-person transfers and help with shots for diabetes if someone needs that. You'll find private and semi-private rooms, some are small studios, and they're fully furnished in a way that feels more like a house than an institution, with housekeeping, linen and laundry, and basic help built in, and there's cable or satellite TV in the living spaces so people can relax and be comfortable. Meals come from a chef and a staff dietitian helps make special diets for diabetes, hypertension, or other health needs, and there's a community kitchen and private dining room for meals, plus regular snacks, and they can help with weight management and even massage services. The gardens and outside spaces let residents enjoy some fresh air, with safe, protected areas for people in Memory Care, and Alzheimer's treatments and dedicated programs for those with memory loss, and all memory care rooms have locked doors to prevent wandering. Residents can use computer and internet access, a reading room, game room, and get involved in daily activities like crafts, music, tidied-up movie nights, scheduled fitness, pet therapy, board games, or trips out of the facility with transportation provided for medical visits, errands, or church. The staff handles medicine management, basic medical care, and can coordinate with outside health providers, plus there are regular health checkups, a 24/7 emergency response system in rooms, and help with washing and hygiene every day. Seniors can use assistive devices as needed, and the facility has its own home health agency service, plus access to health care programs like the Affordable Care Act, HRSA health centers, and more. Community resources are on hand for things like elder abuse support, fall prevention, and opioid education, and emergency services are available when needed. There's also a traveling or on-site stylist that visits, so residents can have personal care, and the facility is pet friendly, so folks who have a companion animal don't need to give that up. Royal Villa provides a supportive and consistent environment that tries to feel like home, focusing on safety, health, and a routine that can feel familiar to each person, whether they need a little help or more hands-on care.
