The Best Assisted Living Communities in Harris County, TX

"My husband is at The Buckingham. I think they are trying; his case is difficult. On Monday I'm going to a meeting with the team and we're going to review how it's been going and what's the care ahead. The physical is beautiful and luxurious. His room is very clean and very nice. The staff is very nice, but sometimes they are difficult to understand because most of the people there are not native English speakers plus the masks. The food to me looks excellent, but my husband has a problem. One of his cancer symptoms is that he's lost appetite and with the chemo, for him nothing is appealing. But I think it's much better than the hospital food. They try to make a variety and to cook it in a way that's appealing with all sauces. It's excellent. I think it's kind of overpriced. It's very expensive and I'm not so sure that the care you get there is any better than the care you get somewhere else. But the facility looks better than the ones I've visited."

"I was very impressed at The Village of River Oaks. I went to see their memory care. Everything was bright. Everybody seemed active and doing things, and the atmosphere was just nice. The staff was excellent, and the rooms were very nice. The location, for me, is excellent. It's just right down the street. I can walk to it. "

"We are at MorningStar at River Oaks. I'm very pleased with it. I'm quite happy with being here. I don't have any real complaints here. We've only been here about six weeks, so we are just getting oriented. I think the staff members are excellent. They're very attentive and well-trained. The food is very good. The building is first class. It has only been open about a year and a half, so it's top-of-the-line. In terms of activities, they have a daily program of things that we can attend. They provide quite a bit of support if you need it medically. It seems like they have a lot of attention without having to be like to have access to a pharmacy if you want. They have pretty much everything I can think of."

"The buildings of Hampton were a little older, but the grounds are well kept. The person that I dealt with was very nice. The staff seemed very caring people over there. "

"Fairbanks Court Assisted Living is awesome. My sister-in-law’s room is very clean. There’s a big family room with a TV, and everybody comes in and watches TV. My sister-in-law loves their food. She says it’s very tasty and they serve it very well. The care that she receives is excellent. They take real good care of her, and she’s very happy there. "

"My mother went to The Village of the Heights for only six days. It was very nice, clean, and still looked new. They had other sister properties that were very nice also. I was impressed. It didn't have any smells, but sometimes the hallway would smell from emptying garbage as well as other elderly smells. The staff was friendly and very nice. She was too sick to really participate in activities, but there were plenty of things to do. The ladies were in a painting class one day when I was there. Another time when we visited they were honoring the veterans and they had a cake and plaques. It was a very nice affair they were observing. The food was very good. She thought it was so-so, but she was very picky. For a place like that, the selections were good, and there's a little something for everyone regardless of your taste. It's the best facility that I found."

"Com for Care Assisted Living is small, but they're more focused on the patients. My mom has been there for a week now. The staff members are great. My mom speaks Spanish mostly, and the staff speaks Spanish, which is a plus for my mom. Their food is all home-cooked. It's like a house, not like a big facility. They're limited in there. However, I'm really happy with it. They have a little patio where they can sit outside. From the back, they have a backyard, too."

"The visit I made to The Gardens of Bellaire's memory care facility was exquisite. The place was beautiful. The lady who gave the tour was very informative. I also got to meet some of the people that were already living there, see some of their activities, the food menus, the area, and the sitting areas. She also told me that Lakewood Church comes up every Sunday, and they have a little worship service. It was very good, and I love the place. It was very inviting and just felt homey. It just felt more like a community. The tenants were really sweet and nice. The management does a lot to get everybody involved in activities like bingo and other stuff. The whole thing was just phenomenal. I was very impressed, especially since it was my first time going to an actual home. I met a lot of the staff, and they're very informative and very sweet. Just the way that I was invited in, I feel like I was a person living there. I didn't get a chance to eat, but the food smelled phenomenal, and the menu looked great. The cleanliness was awesome. The place is very simple, so you can't get lost. The elevator access is really good, the walkways are huge and wide, and the rooms are very nice. It's top tier."

"I visited The Village of Southampton about six weeks ago. I liked the fact that they had three levels of care, independent living, assisted living, and memory care. It's all in one building. It's a high-rise building. They had activities for the people who live there. Everything was provided. They give you a list of activities for the whole month. Everything looked perfect. Everything was perfect. I saw an apartment, the dining room, the different rooms where they have activities, and I saw the vehicle that carries the people wherever they want to go. I talked to a couple of the residents, and they seem to be happy there. The staff who showed me around was very professional. I didn't try the food and seeing the menus, it looked very good. And they will take care of special diets."

"Clarewood House Senior Community was nice, clean, and well-kept. The person during the tour was very good at her job. She's very helpful and told me all about the place. I looked at the dining area and I liked it. They had some activities but I didn't get involved in very much of that. At the time I was there, they were getting ready for lunch. They didn't have any activities going."

"I visited the Belmont Village. I saw some of the smaller apartments there. I thought it was OK. It’s not brand new, but it’s very clean. The staff was nice. The residents looked happy. It was a good experience. "

"I thought that Emeritus at Memorial, for the most part, met all our needs. The only reason why we decided to go with a different facility was because we were actually looking for a place that had kind of a screened-in area for her to smoke. We talked a little bit to some of the residents and they seemed to enjoy the place. I didn't have any negative comments to make of it. The place looked like it was kept up fine, and it obviously looked like there was plenty of staff to attend to the needs of the residents. The rooms were slightly dated because it was an older facility, but it surely wasn't everything that would negatively affect our decision. We probably could have been able to paint the room or something. Overall, I think it was a fine facility, but it all came down to the key factor for us. It was in a good location and we didn't walk away from there with any negative vibe or anything that is for sure. "

"I went to The Village of Meyerland. That was very informative. They showed me their private and semi-private units. They were trying to sell me a unit. But the lady that I talked to was asking questions, some that I could answer, some that I couldn't, like what was my mother's financial situation. All the rooms are unfurnished. She said they have an elevator where we can move in furniture, and I said my mom doesn't have much furniture anymore because we got rid of most of it when we sold the house. However, the lady was very pleasant. The common areas were clean. She showed me their chapel and a TV room. She showed me their PT room and their dining room. They have snacks that they put out for their residents. The place was very clean and well-kept."
