Managing diabetes can be challenging, especially for seniors who may need extra support with medications, diet, and blood sugar monitoring.

We want them to enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle without the stress of managing diabetes alone.

If you or a loved one is looking for a senior living community that truly understands diabetes care, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s explore how The Landing at Watermere Frisco provides expert diabetes management while creating a warm, home-like environment where residents thrive.

Why Is Diabetes Care So Important for Seniors?

Diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions among seniors, with nearly 25% of adults over 65 living with some form of the disease. If left unmanaged, diabetes can lead to serious health complications, including:

• Heart disease and high blood pressure

• Nerve damage (neuropathy) causing pain or loss of sensation

• Vision problems and blindness from diabetic retinopathy

• Foot ulcers and infections, which can result in serious mobility issues

• Kidney disease, increasing the risk of dialysis

For seniors, these complications can significantly impact their quality of life, mobility, and independence. That’s why having a dedicated, knowledgeable care team is crucial to managing diabetes effectively and preventing long-term health concerns.

At The Landing at Watermere Frisco, we go beyond just monitoring blood sugar; we take a whole-person approach to diabetes care, focusing on nutrition, physical activity, medical support, and overall well-being.

24/7 Licensed Nursing Care & Blood Sugar Monitoring

At The Landing at Watermere Frisco, we provide around-the-clock nursing support to ensure residents’ blood sugar levels remain safe and stable.

We believe that proactive care is key to preventing complications, which is why our trained nursing staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Expert Insulin Administration & Medication Support

For many seniors with diabetes, insulin therapy is essential. But managing insulin doses can be tricky, as timing, dosage, and monitoring are all critical to maintaining safe blood sugar levels.

At The Landing at Frisco, our licensed nurses are trained to:

• Administer insulin injections safely and accurately
