Overview of EdenHill Communities

There are eight care types at EdenHill Communities in New Braunfels, TX. The first four are independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Nursing home care, hospice care, respite care, and the continuing care retirement community designation account for the rest.

In independent living, a resident has private quarters, and the use of community services and daily care stays off the schedule. Assisted living is where dressing, bathing, and medication get staff attention. Memory care stays secured, and its staff supervises anyone whose dementia now makes wandering a risk. Skilled nursing means licensed nurses on duty at every hour.

Hospice care attends to a resident’s last stage of life. Respite is the booked stay that covers a caregiver’s absence. Because every level is on the one campus, growing needs mean new rooms, not a new community, the draw for anyone planning.

On-site recovery after an illness or injury runs through rehabilitation services, Short-Term Rehab among them. The 64 beds are in the Landa Park Estates neighborhood, and the starting price is $2,928 a month, a figure a family can budget for.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are the accepted routes. Each resident’s daily nursing averages 4 h 8 m. For exercise, there is a swimming pool, plus fitness center access, and personal care has a salon and spa of its own.

A chapel and religious services are on site for worship, and residents may bring their pets. Eden Home, Inc. runs the community, and its business start date goes back to 1910.

Starting Price $2,928/Month

Overview of Golden Palms Rehabilitation and Retirement

Golden Palms Rehabilitation and Retirement offers nursing home care, assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Harlingen, TX. Independent living provides a private home with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The range of care levels may suit a resident whose support needs could increase over time, allowing a move between care settings without leaving the community. The community has 60 beds, creating a defined setting rather than a large campus. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted: Medicaid can matter when savings may not cover a long stay, Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, and private pay allows direct payment. Santiago Healthcare operates Golden Palms Rehabilitation and Retirement.

Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet to the community. On site rehabilitation services allow therapy to take place at the community instead of requiring separate travel. Residents can use the pool, salon or spa, landscaped courtyard, and walking paths for recreation, grooming, and outdoor time.

Transportation is available to and from medical and retail appointments, giving residents a way to reach those destinations through community arranged rides. Restaurant style dining provides freshly prepared meals. Group activities, frequent outings, sightseeing trips, clergy visits, and transportation to off site religious services support a range of daily and community activities.
