The Best Assisted Living Communities in Fort Bend County, TX

"We place my mother at Optimum Personal Care. She has been there since September. We chose it because it is well staffed. The ratio is 5-to-1. It is very clean and has no odor whatsoever. The people are very nice and seem to be fit for the kind of work that they are doing. They are very attentive to the clients. They just do an excellent job. I have never seen a place run so well. The other reason is that it is small. They have two houses and/or buildings, and I think the maximum number in the one she is in is 10. So, there is a large living room area, and then there are rooms around that area. So, if she has a need, she can just speak loudly; even though she wears a device around her neck, she will be able to get the attention that she needs. We like that rather than a large place. "

"My mom moved into Clayton Oaks Living. She is doing good and adjusting quite well. They have a recreational center, and she's playing bingo, she's painting, coloring, and doing things that she didn't use to do. She eats everything when before she will just eat certain things. So, the less the kids are involved, the better she does. When we're not around, she participates more. The staff is good. She had a couple of falls, and they were quick to call me and report it and they checked her out; she wasn't hurt or anything. I asked them to look at her more, they do the rounds twice every two hours at night. They also do bed checks and I told them to please monitor her every hour, and so they have been doing that. She has a nice room. It's a studio apartment but because it's memory care, she doesn't have a refrigerator or anything in there. They bring them out to eat together. We took her furniture, and her bedroom, and everything was set up nicely so she can feel a little bit more like she's at home. This place is closest to the family. It's easy to get to and it's very nice. My brother took my mother to visit the assisted living and it's luxurious in that part. They have a dog groomer, a beauty salon, and a barbershop. The meals are very enticing. My mother had some shrimp linguine, and she never eats shrimp, so we were shocked. They have patios, a gazebo, and they have several seating areas with shade. And the courtyard is very nice. My mother has a view of the courtyard from her bedroom and that's nice to see. They are upgrading and remodeling some areas. Their entrance is very, very nice and very beautiful. She was just there two weeks, and they already know who she is, and they know who I am, so I thought that was pretty cool. When we were moving around there from the rehab place that she was, I happen to tell the director that we hadn't eaten, and we were very hungry. They brought us food for my brother and me. It was a nice turkey sandwich, chips, and everything, and it was good. They didn't have to do that, but they did. When I toured, they had singing and dancing. But for the memories here, they're more closely monitored. They do have the beach ball for them to move around, and they play bingo, they paint and do flower arrangements. They keep it pretty active and busy, and they keep that on a schedule, so, when they take them back to their room, they can take a nap and then they go out back to the recreation room. We had her in this rehab place, and it was a lot more expensive, but it was not a very good place as far as cleanliness and everything. We're paying a lot less here, so we're very happy. And for what they're doing for her, I think that's a very good one."

"I've visited Rose Hill a few times as a volunteer. I love spending time with the residents and giving them company. The facility here is so homey, and I can tell the residents love it and feel at home too. There's a beautiful yard that wraps around the side... i know the residents love going outside for fresh air and short walks. The facility starts with activities and stretches for the residents every morning. They have a very friendly staff who also cooks fresh meals and accommodates any food allergies. They even let me try some once when I was there... they sure can cook! It's nice to know the residents can have homey, healthy meals. They do puzzles, paint, celebrate holidays in fun ways with the residents, have movie nights with popcorn, and so much more. The owner is there almost every day, and you can tell they are really passionate about their business and making the residents as comfortable as possible. I always look forward to my time there. I highly recommend this facility if you're looking for a place for a loved one who needs assisted living. "

"I moved my mother in March. I liked the facility. They are very pleasant. It had a lot of trees and looked very natural. One of the biggest draws was the dining because she could order off of the menu, and there isn't a set time to eat. You just go when you want to eat and order what you want to order and that was very appealing to her. They also have breakfast all day long. She goes to exercise every morning, which she never had before. She never played bingo before and now she is playing bingo. They have happy hour on Fridays and some entertainment or music several times a month. Their outside facilities are very nice. She is very happy, so everything is going great. The medical care has been good. I asked for something and a doctor came to see her. Everything is great."

"It was odd to me that Agape Heritage Home is in a residential area. It did not seem like a facility. My overall visit was good. The people were nice, and they were clean. I am just worried that being in a residence, the neighbors are gonna protest. Then we will get stuck without a place for mom."

"We chose Inspired Senior Living because of the people and the reputation. It's beautiful, bright, fresh, caring, and very well appointed. They have good staff. I have not moved my in-laws in yet, but the tour was beautiful. I personally want to live there myself. They have a fishing pond and a pool, which has water therapy in it. They have a tiki bar, a movie theater, a beauty salon, a barbershop, a pool room, a card room, a game room, and a coffee cafe. They have a chef on staff, too. It is not just three square meals a day; you can eat whenever you want from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The food was fantastic."

"We were able to visit Osa Heritage Homes in Richmond. We found it to be very nice; however, the price was too high. The gentleman who accommodated us offered to negotiate a lower price, but not by much. We enjoyed the tour though -- it was very good. He showed us their private and semi-private rooms and told us what the room rates included. We also met one person who was working there on a Friday afternoon. Everybody we met there was nice. The current residents appeared to all possibly have dementia (we don't know that for sure, we're just guessing). If we do go for it, we'll get the semi-private room, but my sister's husband will need 100% assistance, and that is not an exaggeration. He's in a wheelchair, so he needs assistance from the bed to the wheelchair, from the wheelchair to the bathroom, and then back again. He also needs assistance from the bed to the dining room, to get to his wheelchair, and to go outside and enjoy the views. It was a nice place and we enjoyed it, but I don't think he would like it. Everybody we talked to was nice. The tour was nice and educational, and the person who gave us the tour answered all of our questions. He also told us some things that we didn't ask about because we were not very knowledgeable about these facilities. We also met one other staff member. She was busy, but we were able to speak with her. It was her job to keep the place clean, and the place was really clean."

"I am impressed and grateful at the effort that Sharon puts in to making sure her residents get to their medical appointments. Sharon calls the medical providers to make appointments and brings them to the medical facilities. She keeps track of people's treatment plans and follow up appointments. Sharon is also attentive to making sure patients take their prescribed medication. "

"My Dad lived at The Abby for almost two years. For those who have loved ones in a facility, we know how difficult it can be at times for the staff and caretakers at these facilities, and yet we still would like to think that our loved ones get the love and care that they need and deserve. We feel so blessed to have had our Dad at The Abby. From the Administration, to the front desk personnel, to the dining personnel, to the health and nursing personnel, to the maintenance personnel, to the cleaning personnel.............everyone seemed to always have a happy, caring, loving attitude. What a wonderful feeling to know that our Dad lived out his life there in the care of these amazing people. "

"Brookdale Shadowlake is an expensive facility, but it's very nice. The staff were very nice as well. I like that the facility is well kept and clean. The rooms are spacious enough -- not that huge -- but with enough room. "

"My friend is in Atria Westchase memory care. The staff is incredibly supportive, kind, and caring. They are very efficient. They are very clean. They provide a myriad of activities for the residents. They take them on field trips. They have happy hour, and they bring in live music and entertainment. They have their act together. The best thing is just the care that they give to the residents. We love it."

"The Delaney at Parkway Lakes is the nicest among all the senior places we've seen. It was beautiful, fresh, and clean, and it just opened in December. The people there were lovely and it looked like a very nice place to live. It had a full-sized refrigerator, a microwave, and granite in the bathroom as part of the deal. The bathroom had a shower that was a flat, so if you have a wheelchair you don't need a lift. Michelle who works there is great, so I recommended that my mom's friend go there. It's a great place and the people are great too."

"We visited Tender Care Assisted Living in Houston. It looked good, and we are kind of leaning that way for my mother's care. We liked it for its staff and its size. It's a residential home. We also liked the flexibility on pricing, as far as waiting for the VA Aid and Attendance to kick in. They are going to work with us on that. The staff was attentive and very nice. The facility was clean, but it looked average to me. It's not bad, but it could be better."
