The Best Independent Living Communities in Brazoria County, TX

"I moved into this community in Nov 2024 and it has been my best decision yet. The open concept space of my apartment, the security of the property, the friendliness of the staff and the true family and friendship feeling of this residential community. You will love it here as much as I do."

"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."

"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."

"The Village of River Oaks was beautiful. My uncle commented on the dining room because that was one of the areas that we walked near as we were getting to the offices. They had chandeliers in there, and for him, it was fancier than what he might do on his own. He was looking at the costs based on the amenities that they had. The pool would be something he would never use. They had a lot available, but they weren't activities that he would necessarily engage in. The staff was great. They answered all of his questions."

"Exceptional food and the people who live here are very nice and friendly. There are a lot of activities, clubs and the amenities are outstanding."

"My uncle enjoyed The Village of Tanglewood, but it was a little farther away from family and friends than he cared for. As far as the facility and the people, it was great. They've got great staff. They were very patient with him because he doesn't walk fast. They took the time to speak to him and not to us because this is his decision, not ours. He didn't want anything too big, so we looked at one of the standard one-bedrooms. He liked the fact that they had a place where he could kind of prepare food for himself, but still have the opportunity to be able to go to the dining room. We didn't necessarily want him to have a stove anyway. It was clean. It didn't smell like you were at a place where seniors would be, so to speak."

"We went to The Tradition - Woodway this morning. It was very clean. The staff was very friendly, and seemed to know quite a bit about it. They have a swimming pool, a hair salon, a man's Cave with billiards, a golf simulator, a library, a workout room, and a craft room. We stopped at one of the informal snack areas. We saw the dining room. There was no food preparation going on at the time. It looked like a restaurant. The Tradition seems kind of sterile."

"It was located in the part of the town where it's easy to get to. I liked that their staff was welcoming and thorough. I loved just the bright and modern look of it, lots of open air, green spaces, and places to gather. But they didn't have the bars down the hall and the building was 8 stories high. I met some of the residents there and they were friendly. They had good activities going."

"I moved to The Abbey of Westminster, and so far I'm very, very happy. Everybody is very friendly. The food is very good. It's very convenient. All the people are smiling. Everybody seems to be happy, and nobody's complaining. They have real nice size apartments. I have a one-bedroom with a flex room. It has a full kitchen (if you want to use it), refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer in the bathroom, and a walk-in closet to hold all my clothes. I didn't look at any other place because I watched The Abbey for six years, when they first started six years ago. I told my wife at the time that we should move there. They offer everything that a person can do. It seems like there's something every hour of every day. On one specific day each week, they have an outing that they go someplace. They have a concierge. I have paid parking on the inside, and the outside you don't have to pay for it. They provide transportation to the doctor, to Kroger's, and for everything you need. It's more than adequate. I have once a week, an hour and a half of room maintenance or room cleaning. They make my bed. They pick up things. They're very, very cautious. They don't move your personal items that you have laying out. It's extremely private. For activities, they've got water aerobics every day. Once a week, they have online dancing classes and physical exercises done by video. They've got a 24-seat theater with big, comfortable black chairs. They have a movie every night at 7:00. They have the same chef that they've had for six years. They operate just like a restaurant. He changes his menu weekly. The menu comes up printed every week. It's also very, very flexible as to what you can order. There are side orders that you can order in place of those that are on the menu. Some people who are here were residents at other places, and they moved to The Abbey primarily because of the food flexibility. I know that there are places that are way more reasonable, but provide nothing other than maybe meals and a place to sleep. This is not a buy-in. There are places that are buy-ins that may have equal money value after the buy-in. They allow my dog. I have a pension and because I have Social Security, it does not cost me a lot out of my savings on a monthly basis because everything is included. They include the cable television. They can keep you busy every hour from 9:00 in the morning until 10:00 at night. The movie starts at 7:00 and goes to 10:00. They have the bible study and transportation to churches. For those people who don't want to get out, they have recordings of the different church services that are held on Sunday mornings. They show them during the daytime on Sunday."

"After the decision was made that my dad was ready for senior living I researched all my different options starting with the Fordham at Silverlake. From the moment we pulled up we both knew this was the place. After meeting with Saja and touring the facility, my dad and I decided right there and then this was the place. I canceled the rest of our other tours. My dad has enjoyed being there immensely and I’m totally at peace knowing that he’s in great hands.I love to visit because I feel like I’m entering a five-star hotel. The facility is very clean, modern, bright, and cheerful. Also, the staff is very friendly and professional. I strongly recommend the Fordham at Silverlake for any of your loved ones!"

"I'm at Attiva Pearland. The one thing I like about it is it's one story. You have a front yard and a front door and you have a backyard and a back door. It's very well kept. It's got one way in and one way out. You have one of those overhead carports and they're grouped in four to five. You can park right at your front door. In the middle, they have the all-purpose room and it has everything you would want, exercise, salon, and clubhouse. The people that work in the office are very helpful. They have something every day. They have an outdoor pool that's about four feet and a half, a jacuzzi, and a hot tub. They have barbecue pits and they have a covered patio. They have activities every day depending on what you want to do. The price depends on how much money you want to spend or how much you want. I chose it for two reasons, the one floor and also next door is the subdivision where my family lives. We are a gated community, and when I go out my front door and get in my car, it just takes me 3 minutes to go to our gate then go through my daughter's gate and go to her house. It's right next door to what we would call a family community. There are people here that have home health care come and do for them also. The staff is very nice. Some people are just customer service friendly and they have that gift for interacting with older people, and the manager is very efficient. They have another young lady who interacts with the senior age generation. It's just really helpful. They don't talk down to you or patronize you. They're just respectful. It's wonderful. The maintenance is awesome. If you put in a work request, they have it finished that day."

"My brother-in-law entered Premiere Choice unable to walk after being in the hospital and skilled nursing for almost 3 months. Because of the great care he received, he was able to walk again. The owner is a highly skilled nurse who stayed on top of his many medical issues, which ensured he did not have significant setbacks. This close attention to his care was very successful for him."

"I toured The Huntington at Sienna. I love the place and the price. Everything was great. You've got your stove, microwave, and fridge. They also have washer and dryer, but if you bring your own washer and dryer they'll remove that. I was looking for two bedrooms and their room is big. I give the staff a five. She was very disappointed that I went to some other place. They keep the place very clean. I'm a person who likes to look at clean places. It's quiet and safe, too. They have lawns and patios. You could get to the gym or the pool, and they have activities as well."
