The Collinfield House

The Collinfield House Collinfield House is dedicated to providing unparalleled Assisted Living care to the aging in Austin, Texas. Our community is not just our residents!

The Collinfield House provides excellent care and companionship for our residents, filling each day with meaningful and engaging activities, delicious home cooked meals, and one-on-one assistance with daily living tasks. With our low ratio, caregivers have time to sit and have engaging conversations with residents. Being physical therapist-owned, it is our goal to challenge the residents daily in

an effort to maintain as much independence as possible. We understand that care and attention is critical, which is why we have a full-time administrator, an activities director, and 24-hour awake and alert staff for this exclusive eight-resident home. Family is a big part of who we are and we involve resident families near and far with the facilitation of Facetime or Google Meets with family/friends, and, social media updates and pictures. Once COVID restrictions allow, we look forward to welcoming all family members. At this time, we offer Essential Caregiver visits per Health and Human Services guidelines. Extended families become a network of support, encouragement and friendship.

Our colleague, Alex, said it best:

6 Ways Residential Assisted Living Beats Large Facilities
Families are choosing residential care homes more than ever. Here’s why:

1. More personal care. Staff-to-resident ratios are much better.

2. Feels like home. Less stress, more comfort.

3. Fewer residents. No long hallways or crowded cafeterias.

4. Faster response times. Help comes quicker.

5. More flexibility. Schedules and meals can be customized.

6. Stronger community. Residents often become like family.
This is why RAL homes are the future of senior care.

Caregiver Team Highlight: Tatiana and Karla brighten the residents’ mornings every day with their music, dancing, and silliness. They cook themed foods and servemeals outside when weather permits! Tatiana finds ways to give our residets purpose and make them feel needed, a commonly forgotten piece in senior living communities. They love the residents as their own family, and we are grateful for them.

Meet the owner of this licensed residential assisted living home: Terri graduated from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center with a BS in physical therapy in 1995. She cared for her mother-in-law (Stage 4 esophageal cancer requiring a feeding tube, 24/7 oxygen, and complete assistance with activities of daily living) in her own home until her passing and continued caring for her sister-in law with Downs Syndrome in her home until her passing at age 63. This experience motivated Terri to get involved with an alternative to nursing homes. Residential assisted living is as close to living at home as possible while having 24/7 awake care available. There has been a recent corporate overtaking of assisted living facilities where care/staffing is profit-driven. Not here. Terri, as owner, enjoys getting to know each and every resident, educates the team on the importance of dignity and movement, and ensures there is daily focus on the following core values as they relate to the team and the special people we care for:

Baked chicken with cauliflower rice, snap peas & side salad. It’s what was for dinner! Light plates with high edges allows our residents with limited hand coordination to eat with dignity. Some might need help cutting their food? Do we do that? Yes!

Not just spa time, but also aroma therapy. Not many know how stressful showers become for the elderly. We do life with them, so we know. For some, a shower is relaxing. For others, it is overstimulating and very stressful. Hanging lavender in the shower creates a spa-like experience while also providing the relaxing aroma therapy lavender is known for. These small things count ❤️

When we say customized care, we mean it! One of our residents came from home with one-on-one private care. He was accustomed to having someone in his sight all of the time. It gave him a sense of security. Our team noticed he was unsettled much of the day. They had also noticed that he had a favorite caregiver, our sweet Maria. Well, Maria can’t be near him 24/7, so we cloned her! Well, the next best thing!…and he loves it and is much less anxious!
