Overview of House of Hope by Presbyterian Manor

House of Hope by Presbyterian Manor is a memory care community in Wichita Falls, Texas, created specifically for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. It is part of the larger Presbyterian Manor campus, giving residents access to a broader senior living network while keeping memory care as the main focus of daily life. The 75-bed community creates a setting that feels more manageable than a much larger community and can help residents and families adjust more easily.

The community is designed around the needs of residents with memory loss. Living spaces are arranged with memory impairment in mind. Built-in security and emergency systems help support resident safety and give families more peace of mind. Staff are available 24 hours a day, and every resident receives an individualized care plan instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. They also assist with activities of daily living that can become more difficult as memory changes progress.

Residents receive nutritious meals and snacks prepared to meet their needs. Daily programs include activities designed specifically to provide mental stimulation. House of Hope has a community support group, so residents can share the emotional challenges of memory loss with others going through similar experiences. The community welcomes pets, allowing residents to keep a familiar companion after moving in.

The car-dependent area has a Walk Score of 14 out of 100, so most errands and outings require driving. Families comparing daily convenience with the benefits of a quieter, more residential setting may want to keep that tradeoff in mind when visiting the community.
