The Bradford House
Assisted Living & Respite Care · Gilmer, TX
The Bradford House is an assisted living community in Gilmer, Texas, offering personal care, rehabilitation services, and respite care. Managed by The Madera Corporation in Upshur County, this 50-bed community has monthly rates beginning at $2,300 for private units and $3,300 for shared private rooms. It serves as a budget-friendly choice for families throughout the East Texas area.
The community offers three distinct types of recovery assistance, including rehabilitation and respite care, through a dedicated therapy partnership. 24-hour staffing is also provided, ensuring that professional support is accessible at any time. This makes it a functional choice for older adults moving back from a hospital or those healing from specific health events.
Regulatory history from the Texas HHSC has documented a total of six findings, all of which focused on safety standards rather than direct health services. These points of concern involved building protection systems and disaster readiness, such as missing annual fire marshal reviews, incomplete documentation, and overdue maintenance for alarm and sprinkler equipment. Issues were also noted regarding heating system inspections and the thoroughness of the emergency plan. Despite these findings, no administrative penalties were issued. The community’s total of six citations aligns with the typical Texas average, as does its frequency of inspections.
Focusing on a blend of personal comfort and social interaction, private or semi-private living spaces with personal temperature settings and features like an on-site hair salon, a full-service dining room, and a large yard with outdoor seating are provided. Cleaning and laundry assistance, wellness initiatives, and a calendar of organized group activities also support daily living.
The Bradford House is well-suited for older adults looking for a mid-sized assisted living experience that provides enough variety for social engagement while maintaining a personal touch in care. Situated in the peaceful town of Gilmer, it offers a quiet atmosphere while staying connected to regional medical resources.
