A Daughter's Care

A Daughter's Care in Desoto, Texas is a small board and care home with room for up to six residents, which means there's close attention and everyone gets to know each other pretty well, and you'll find that the atmosphere there feels a lot like a family home, where rooms are bright and nicely furnished but can be decorated to suit each person's taste, and there are clean full bathrooms and good closet space, plus walk-in and wheelchair accessible showers that help keep things safe for everyone. Folks have access to a backyard garden if they want to get outside for some fresh air, do a bit of gardening, or just sit and relax, and there are also three shared sitting rooms, called the Garden Room, Relaxation Room, and Family Room, where residents gather for group activities, games, music sessions, puzzles, or to enjoy movies together on a big 60-inch TV. The staff, led by a Texas Certified Assisted Living Administrator and a registered nurse, is around all day and night to help with bathing, dressing, medication, and other daily needs, and they make sure everyone's got what they need, whether it's incontinence care or help with getting to a doctor's appointment-since transportation's available for that-or just a little company when it's wanted, and there's regular nurse visits, a licensed vocational nurse (LVN) on call, and a visiting physician who drops by, too, with wellness checks and medical support all part of the package. Every day, the kitchen puts out three home-cooked meals using resident recipes and keeping special diets in mind like for diabetes or allergies, and snacks are available around the clock, so nobody ever has to go hungry. Folks don't have to worry about cleaning because staff keep things tidy with housekeeping and laundry services, and there's help with personal linen and laundry too, plus cable TV, high-speed internet, U-verse TV, and telephone service so residents stay connected with family and friends if they want, and there are frequent scheduled family meetings to keep everyone in the loop. Outings include trips to museums, gardens, and local shows, and there's transportation and parking onsite for visits out and about, and spa days, an in-house beautician, massage therapy for a small fee, and even some small pets add a nice touch to the family feel. A Daughter's Care is licensed as an assisted living facility Type B small, and the staff brings more than thirty years' combined experience in residential elder care, with safety handled through emergency alert systems, a fire alarm and sprinkler system, and always someone awake at night for any needs that come up.
