The Best Independent Living Communities in Brazoria County, TX

"I looked at this place and immediately was concerned with the smell of marijuana. I asked the gentleman that hosted me was there an issue and he stated some of the residents smoked marijuana for it's benefits. So I immediately said NO, my mom won't live in these conditions."

"The staff in the residents at Carriage Inn - Lake Jackson were all very friendly when I toured. The accommodations were very nice, they had more space and a full kitchen compared to the other place I toured. All the shared spaces or community spaces were very nice, the outdoor courtyard was beautiful, and they had flowers and pathways. It's just a nice facility all around. The living space was also more accommodating, there was more space. It's outside of our price range, but they still have better prices than the other ones I toured."

"Large apartments. Liked the colors and light interior. Went with a friend to look at two or three apartments. The food was good. Everyone was very nice. The people who live there talked nice about the place and seemed very happy. If I lived closer I would live here! My friend is probably move in before the end of the summer."

"I visited Atria Sugar Land and toured their assisted living for my mother-in-law. The room was very nice and spacious, and the common areas were nice. I went into the dining room, and everything there was nice. We went and looked outside, too. The lady who gave the tour was wonderful and very nice. She took me to where they were doing some crafts. It was clean, and the people looked happy. I even talked with some of the ladies who lived there, and they told me they liked it. I would love for my mother-in-law to go there, but she's just not capable right now. The rooms I saw were fine. It's nice, and you have enough room to put a bed and a couple of chairs, or a little couch, and stuff to hold your clothing in there. The bathrooms were big, too. They had all the facilities, like the grab bars and everything. It was also very clean."

"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 have just moved into Landon Ridge Sugar Land Independent Living. They provide two meals a day, and you get to choose whether it's lunch, breakfast, or dinner. They pay for all the utilities. They have housekeeping that comes once a week. They offer water aerobics in the swimming pool. They also have chair yoga and Taichi. They have different things for me to be more mobile. I have a one-bedroom unit that has a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, and a huge bathroom. It comes with a washer and dryer and a walk-in closet. The door key didn't work well, so they changed my locks. There is a small walk area outside my gate that got a little muddy, and they came in and power-washed it. Everything had been very quickly done, so I was very happy with them. The food is good, too. They have wide hallways for my wheelchair and walker. It's easy to get in and out, which is good. I haven't experienced any of the activities. However, there is so much to do, and if you're lonely, it's only because you haven't gotten involved in anything."

"My mom has been in independent living here for 2 years. She loves the environment and the staff are caring. I like the fact that the facility has 3 tiers of care, so Mom can move up to assisted living and even full nursing care in the future if she needs it. The campus is beautiful and peaceful, and close to the Texas Medical Center."

"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."

"Everywhere Is Home is truly like home for your loved one. The staff is very caring and treat their residents like family. My husband grew to love each and every one of the staff and enjoyed having some of their children come in and even call him “Grandpa” at his request. He loved to interact with the kids. The staff would get him up and put him in the common area where he could watch them cook and of course, offer his ideas. He would often join in singing with one of the caretakers and they would watch his favorite shows together. At holidays, they always threw a party for the residents and their family with great food and gifts all around depending on the occasion. The owner is absolutely wonderful, easy to work with, very caring and he is good to the residents and staff as well. It was always very reassuring to know that the owner was there as well as each of the staff members. I never worried about my husband while he was there. It was a joy to deal with the people there and I too felt like family and still do."

"I toured Brookdale West University. It's very, very clean. What I like about it is that everybody controls their own air because the air conditioner is not central. It's roomy, and the room is nice. I really like it. They have a stove and a fridge in your room, which is very nice. They have five different sections of washing areas where you can wash your clothes. If you get up and you can't wash your clothes, they will send somebody to come and get them and wash them for you. They also do all the cleaning and everything. I don't have to do anything. The staff who gave the tour was very good. She was very nice. We had rice and peas and everything. We had lunch there. I don't have any complaints here. What I like about the building itself is that there are only three levels, so it's not high."

"My friend is in the independent living at Clarewood House Senior Community. They have different levels, and that was helpful for us. In case he needs to move up to assisted, it's not going to be a drastic move. We can still stay there, but just move to the assisted floor. If he needs more than that, then we can still stay there and move up to the next level. It's a multi-leveled facility, which is good because his health is not great. The floor will change, but the dining hall is the same, the chapel is the same, and all the people he meets and he is meeting will be the same. It takes you up to hospice. The staff is extremely helpful. They know everybody by name. It's very welcoming. When he moved in, they had a big gathering to welcome him. They have so many daily activities, and if someone signs up and they don't show up, they go and check on them. If he misses a dinner, the ladies on his hallway will go and knock on his door and make sure he's OK, or if he's overslept. They're very accommodating, from the office staff to the residents. Everyone has been extremely welcoming, and he is enjoying it. He has a one-bedroom, and it has a bathroom and a bedroom that connect and then there's a little living room and a kitchen, and it has a closet in between the front door and the kitchen for more storage if you need it, and it's very spacious. They had painted it all. It has brand new carpet. It's an older building, but they've done a lot of renovations, and it's lovely. They've painted the whole outside of the building as well, so it's very eye-catching."

"My mom stayed at Brookdale Galleria for assisted living. It was excellent. The staff was very kind. They were helpful. The grounds were beautiful. Everything was beautiful."

"I toured Morada Deer Park. It was very clean and well-kept. It's high-end, but the rent would go up depending on your specific needs. They offer lots of amenities. The staff and accommodations are very friendly. They had security, and the option to choose whether they wanted to have a camera in their apartment, was great. Morada Deer Park was beautiful."
