Assisted Living & Respite Care · Garland, TX

Overview of Abba Care

Abba Care provides assisted living and respite care in Garland, TX. Assisted living supports residents with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while they keep their own living space, whereas respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Opened in 2003, Abba Care has 16 beds, making it a smaller community that may suit someone who prefers a setting with fewer residents. Each resident has a private studio bedroom and bathroom, providing one private living space along with a private bathroom. Rehabilitation services are also available, and Maria Victoria V Villapando, VI serves as administrator.

Abba Care may be a good fit for someone who needs assisted living support or for a family seeking short-term care during a caregiver’s absence. A Walk Score of 33 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would need transportation for most errands.
