One of Houston’s most popular and unique suburbs, The Woodlands is a leafy master-planned community known for its extensive network of recreation facilities, which includes nearly 150 parks and more than 200 miles of hiking and biking trails. The city’s rich amenities have attracted more than 2,000 businesses and 117,000 residents, including 21,000 seniors over 60. Older adults benefit from a strong network of community services and medical centers, including the high-performing CHI St. Luke’s Health-The Woodlands Hospital.
The Woodlands is home to several nursing homes that charge $5,627 per month and accept adults who have multiple medical conditions or require round-the-clock supervision. Seniors who are no longer comfortable living at home may consider assisted living facilities that offer room, board, recreational activities and 24-hour personal care. Individuals who would rather receive physical therapy and medical care in their own homes may contact a home health care provider for assistance.
This guide includes information about skilled nursing facilities in the Woodlands, along with average prices, financial assistance programs and free resources that can help before, during and after the transition.
