What to Consider About Assisted Living in Pearland
Pearland, Texas, got its name from the groves of pear trees that surrounded this whistle stop on the railroad line south of Houston. It's still possible to find a few commercial groves that are open to the public here, and seniors from the area's 24 assisted living communities can pass a pleasant afternoon picking a basketful of them on a short day trip.
Assisted living communities in Texas are regulated by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, which classes them as Type A residential care facilities. That category includes all long-term care homes where staff provide room and board for residents, along with help completing the activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing and grooming, along with help taking some medications.
