The Best Assisted Living Communities in Galveston County, TX

"The Park At Bay Area was pretty nice. It was an impressive walkthrough. They have so many different sections in there, plus the living section toward the back end was more like your own private apartment kind of situation. They said it's set up for couples if they wanna come. It's like maybe five on each side of a walkway, and it was very nice. They had an outdoor seating area for them. I was very impressed with that one, plus it's close to where we are. It would be easy to visit. It was great. I met with the manager or head person and a worker who was behind the desk, and then they gave me a tour at that time. My interest is the cleanliness of the place, the way the staff might interact with the residents there, and I was impressed with everything."

"Trinity Oaks Of Pearland showed us their independent living apartments. It was a decent size for a single person like myself. The bedroom and the bathroom were nice. It had a walk-in shower, a washer, and a dryer. There's a stove in the kitchen. I like it. The staff gave me a tour, but it wasn't really her job. It sounded like they provided three meals a day. Nevertheless, what we went through the building seemed fine. I was really considering it, but I had other issues, like going to the hospital and back and forth. They have a nice outdoor area at the back of the building, and I thought it was nice."

"I toured Everywhere Is Home Residential Assisted Living. I was kind of skeptical about it because when I drove up, it was just like a regular house. When I entered it, it was very clean. The man who assisted me was the one who owns and runs the place. He has a few nurses who work there, and they are only supposed to have about 7 residents at a time. It can hold up to 8, but he just prefers to leave it at 7, and he puts two people in one bedroom. The place was nice and didn't seem to be that big. It's just a normal home with a kitchen and a bathroom that they remodel so they could put an actual wheelchair in them to bathe the residents. You have privacy when the door is closed, but the bathroom itself is all open. The owner was a very helpful person and really wanted to work with me, but it was out-of-pocket pay and more than I could afford. The people who were there were more like towards the end of life, to me. It's like hospice care, in a way. That's the kind of image I had about this facility. It was a nice place for somebody who needs that type of care. The physical appearance of the facility was just okay. It had beds, a TV, a dining table, and a little living room."

"We visited the assisted living facility of The Reserve at Pasadena. They're a very clean facility. The decorations that they have, as far as the whole building itself, look like a hotel instead of a nursing home. The rooms were very nice. The nurses were nice, and the people seemed happy. They were all sitting in the kitchen eating, and it was very nice. I like that my father would have a private room for himself there with his own shower, and he can control his air conditioning, because he gets cold and then he gets hot. I really like the whole place in general. They have a hands-on baking class where they can all purchase a plate and cook whatever they want. They have bingo nights, movie nights, and all kinds of activities. The person who gave the tour was very nice and respectful. She asked me if there was anything that I wanted to ask about, and she answered every question. She was very nice to the people who were there, and they all seemed to know her. There were hugs, and it's like they're one big family. They were in the process of eating lunch, and she said we were welcome to sit there and eat if we wanted to. She said they have a chef who works there, and he prepares gourmet meals for them. He used to work for a hotel, and they hired him there. He's been cooking for them for 20 years."

"The rooms are nice and adequate for our loved ones needs. The food seems agreeable to the needs. Fruit of some kind would be a nice, healthy addition. We cannot say enough kind words to describe how helpful, loving and supported we feel by every staff member we have encountered here - specifically Andrea who works 6 tasks simultaneously at times with a smile!"

"I toured Autumn Springs Home Care Communities Galveston. I liked the way it was set up. They're under construction right now. So, there's nothing available. I liked the management there. The manager was very, very nice and informative. The place was nice. Everybody had their own individual room, unless you shared a room with one other person. But it wouldn't be a bunch of people together. They showed me around everything. I just happened to pop up in the area. I didn't have an appointment. I liked the way they were set up with their rooms and everything. They have a library and different activities during the day. Everything was clean."

"We loved The Reserve at Pearland, but it was private pay, and there was no way we could cover that. Chloe was the sales director who toured us, and she is very likable. She has a great personality. The facility is beautiful and clean. The rooms are private little homes, like apartments, so they have little kitchen areas and everything. It's extremely nice, but it's all private pay. Chloe worked very hard to try to make us a good deal, but we couldn't cover it. It was very expensive. I would love to put my mother in that facility. They have a beautiful garden area with big magnolia trees."

"The people at Orchard Park at Southfork were great. The facility was really nice. The size of the rooms was small, but the upkeep was beautiful. We visited the entire facility. It was just perfect. It seems like there's plenty of parking. No problem with it."

"This facility is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The owner and caregivers are kind, attentive, and responsive."

"The place that I like the best down here is the Tradition-Buffalo Speedway. I like all of their amenities. The staff who toured us were very welcoming, very informative, and very helpful. I tried their food, and it's excellent. There's an indoor swimming pool, a gymnasium, an indoor courtyard, and balconies if you're not on the ground floor. There are several facilities for eating, like a café and formal dining. There's also indoor parking. It's just wonderful."

"I toured Belmont Village West University. It was a very nice place, and it seemed to have a lot of great activities for the residents. It unfortunately was out of the range of distance that my client would want to go. It was a little too far. However, if I knew somebody in that area, I would tell them to look into it. The model room was very nice. It had a very nice large bathroom and shower area. It's just a bedroom-type setting. I didn't interact with a lot of the staff members, but everyone seemed very pleasant. Everyone greeted me, which makes a difference."

"The Village of Southampton was stunning. The views there are tremendous. You can see the whole city and can see downtown. The location is in the Rice Village at Rice University. There's a whole bunch of shops there. As long as we're able bodied, we can walk a mile or two. There's a lot of places that are within walking distance. That's the strong point of that one. The views are awesome. It's like 18 stories (or something like that), and all the apartments are just gorgeous. We've been there twice. They have exercise rooms, a swimming pool, and a lounge on the top floor. You could buy alcohol, snack foods, sandwiches, and stuff. The view is like drop dead gorgeous. There's an outside balcony that goes halfway around the building. It's stunning. The food was excellent. This is the best place in town."

"The Village of Meyerland was nice. My uncle enjoyed that one. Depending on what side you were on, there were rooms with a view that looked out over Brays Bayou. He liked the view, but he didn't like the fact that the only way he could see it was to be up high. The facility was great. The people were good. At the time, the rooms that they had available that would accommodate his needs were on the upper levels, and he wasn't comfortable with being up that high. We looked at one-bedroom apartments. The parking was fine."

"My sister stayed at La Vita Bella for nine days. I highly recommend them. It's listed as an assisted living, but it's more of a personal care home. Everyone there is very good to the residents. At that time, they had 14 rooms, and they were private rooms. They're very caring. They have activities for the residents if they want to do them. I was impressed with it. It's a house that they built on to, and it's owned by a nurse. It's beautifully decorated. Their staff is very attentive, very caring, and very personal. It's just a calm atmosphere."
