Premier Assisted Living Allows Loved Ones to Age Gracefully with Loving Care
By Amy Morgan

As people age, they may gradually lose the ability to care for themselves safely and independently. Everyday tasks like dressing, bathing, and using the bathroom can become challenging and unmanageable. Over time, as cognitive and physical abilities decline and care needs increase, the level of support often exceeds what family members can provide at home. For a devoted daughter or son, nothing is more important than ensuring their mom or dad is safe, well cared for, and able to spend their remaining years in comfort, surrounded by love and treated with dignity.
Premier Assisted Living offers a high level of residential care in a home-like environment just across from Hollywood Park. The facility is owned and run by a Registered Nurse with more than 30 years of experience in Geriatric Care, Clinical Case Management and Senior Living. Each resident entrusted to their care is treated with warmth and compassion as if they were a beloved family member. Premier Assisted Living is conveniently located close to Stone Oak, so it’s easy to stop over to visit a loved one.

The low 1:3 staff ratio means your parent will never have to wait when they need an extra blanket or they’ve dropped the TV remote. Someone is available to assist immediately. In fact, because staff levels are robust, there’s time to get to know each resident on a personal level and anticipate their wants. A caregiver might offer a snack or bring fresh coffee even before the resident has thought to ask. In addition to caring for physical needs, caregivers often play games, do puzzles or read to residents. Staff members are awake and available 24/7 to help someone to the bathroom in the middle of the night or change position to alleviate discomfort.
Premier Assisted Living is a licensed Type B facility that can provide care to those who have dementia or other diagnoses that render them no longer able to walk to self-evacuate. They are able to serve their residents until end of life – which brings peace of mind knowing that a move to Premier Assisted Living can be a parent’s last, if that’s what you choose. The month-to-month contracts are all-inclusive and transparent, so there’ll be no financial surprises.
Unlike a corporate facility with many residents and a high staffing ratio, Premier Assisted Living provides a lovely alternative with a homelike feel. Each resident occupies a private room but joins the others in the dining room for home-cooked meals made from scratch with fresh ingredients. Activities are offered daily by the living room fireplace or out on the flower-filled patio where residents enjoy watching deer and birds at the feeders.
Another benefit — primary medical care and grooming are provided in-house. No longer do adult children need to juggle the details of scheduling and transporting a loved one to multiple doctor visits or appointments. Premier Assisted Living plans and organizes on-site podiatry, dentistry, hairdressing, lab, X-ray, ophthalmology, audiology, occupational, speech, massage, and physical therapy. Your loved one will benefit from professional management of all their health and medication needs – even refills – and you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing they are well looked after.
Because staff members develop a personal relationship with each resident, they are able to tailor enrichment activities to suit their preferences. Some enjoy cuddling lifelike baby dolls. Others look forward to visits from the therapy dog, Bible study, musical presentations, or exercise.
