Independent Living Communities in League City, TX

"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."

"Cypress Gardens Apartments is a very good community. It seems like they have apartments, but not in the price point we're looking for. The room was very clean. They also have an elevator. Everything looked clean and very well taken care of. The staff members were very open, sympathetic, and very kind. They have a pool that is working, and then they have a common area where people can come in just to meet others. They also have a common place with computers where they can come and check anything if they need to."

"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."

"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 toured Enclave at Lake Pointe. That was a good place. The apartments were very nice, and the layout was very good. They showed me the two bedrooms and one bedroom. The cleanliness was good, and so was the staff member who gave the tour."

"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."

"Connally at Clear Creek 55+ Apartments is beautiful and very well built. I think it's only maybe seven years old. Everybody's nice. Maintenance is good. Management is good. I'm very happy that I'm taking care of myself as opposed to being someplace where they're doing everything for you. It's close to one of my kids, and I like that it's 55-plus. I have a two-bedroom, two-bath, nice kitchen, and nice living room and dining room. It's a nice size. The great room downstairs, where you have functions, has a beautifully set-up kitchen that, when you have a large group, you can do your cooking in there. I love it here. The residents do their own activities. They have set up their own exercise program, and they exercise one day, and then another day, they do chair yoga for seniors. We have a book club that has been formed by the community. It's independent living. You do what you want to do. You do your own cooking."

"My sister is doing so well at Regal Estates. I would not have dreamed she would do so well. She was living alone and that was not working anymore. The upkeep on a house, the social isolation everything was becoming a problem. Because of her special needs, my brothers and I worried it might not work out. Well it has been several years now and she is happy and doing fantastic! The Staff at Regal is patient, caring, kind and smart when it comes to 'reading' what each resident needs. When we ask for help on something they are quick to respond and solve the slightest issue quickly and efficiently to everyones satisfaction. They keep the residents engaged in fun activities, vary the dining menus, administer her medicines for seizures and the place is spotless and oh so cheerful. All this even during Covid! Our family is so relieved and my sister is so much better off. No more calls crying in frustration from her. Regal Estates is one of the many blessings in our lives! "

"I toured Baybrook Park Retirement Center. I actually liked it. It's not near as nice as the other one; but the more money, the better it looks. I liked that they have the little cottages or villas. It appeared to be clean. The staff were very nice. I met two, and they were both very nice and very helpful. It's the one I am considering. I did not try the food because I will be cooking for myself. They play bingo. I think they had little living areas, a family room thing, and I guess they've got food. The price looked affordable for me."

"I toured Fordham At Baywood. It's close to me. I like the location. It's brand new. The room is completely set up. They have their own washer-dryer and stainless steel appliances. They even have one unit that didn't have carpet, which is a good thing, especially if you're using a wheelchair. Everything is nice setup. There are a lot of people there who are not only residents, but their kids who are over the age of 55 can be residents there, too. The staff who gave the tour was informative, very cooperative, supportive, and knowledgeable. They're able to give a lot of information."

"I had a chance to visit the apartment and they are very nice on the inside and out the staff was very nice I also had a chance to meet some of the residents and they were kind as well so I decided. To be put in the waiting list i will be glad when my name comes up Dec..2016 "
