Independent Living Communities in Friendswood, 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."

"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 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."

"My mom has been a resident in Independent Living for 4 years and has been very happy there. When she needed a hip replacement, she went into St. Dominic's skilled nursing and rehab facility on the same campus short-term. It was so convenient to bring her back to the same campus that has three tiers of care. The nurses and physical therapists were so kind to my mom. I visited her almost every day and, without fail, the facility was clean, my mom was well groomed and well fed, and I felt comfortable knowing she was safe and well cared for. The staff went above and beyond to get my mom walking again and they treated her with kindness. She was then able to return to her room in independent living."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"I visited a friend at The Waterford at Baytown. The place is spotless, and the dining area is superb. His room is very comfortable and very organized. The hallways and game rooms are always clean. It is just a nice place. The people are friendly, and the food is excellent. My friend likes and enjoys their activities. His son also thinks it's well worth the cost. They think it's excellent."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
