Memory Care Communities in Bellaire, TX

"We are at MorningStar at River Oaks. I'm very pleased with it. I'm quite happy with being here. I don't have any real complaints here. We've only been here about six weeks, so we are just getting oriented. I think the staff members are excellent. They're very attentive and well-trained. The food is very good. The building is first class. It has only been open about a year and a half, so it's top-of-the-line. In terms of activities, they have a daily program of things that we can attend. They provide quite a bit of support if you need it medically. It seems like they have a lot of attention without having to be like to have access to a pharmacy if you want. They have pretty much everything I can think of."

"When I went to Tender Care Assisted Living, it was so very clean. The caregivers were very helpful in giving information, and seeing how they worked while I was there. It was a very nice facility and great caregivers. The communication was very good. They communicated with the patients. While I was there, I noticed a lot of what they were doing, keeping them comfortable, and interacting with them. I noticed that they had outdoor space, which is nice, the living space area for them to come and watch TV out in the living area, which is a very nice size. They have games and interactive games, but I didn't see a workout facility, they said they do work out with them. They're not just sitting in a chair. They try to get them to do some things with their legs and arms."

"My father will be moving into Belmont Village Hunters Creek. On first impressions, I really liked it. We were given a tour by Lexi, and she was really wonderful in explaining it. She had a lot of compassion and empathy, and she really helped guide us. So far, so good. They have a pool and a theater room, so you can go watch movies."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Excellent for higher functioning Alzh's patients. Love the facility, staff and food."

"I toured Brookdale The Heights. I like the fact that they have their own individual room, they have their own individual showers, and it's basically the people. They're there to help you if you need it. One, in particular, they help you if you need assistance in the shower, dressing, and that type of care. These are more like studio-type apartments. The staff was very informative, very nice, and very polite. It was very welcoming, and they had an open-concept cooking area where the chefs prepared meals. If you wanted to sit alone you could, or if you wanted to have other people join you that was also available. The residents seemed to be very happy there. I mean, they just seemed like they wanted to be there."

"My mom is a resident at SCR and after visiting many places for her, this one stood out in the uniqueness of a family and home environment, very friendly and caring staff, and cleanliness of facility. The residents are well cared for by the staff and while they do not do planned social activities, they engage with the residents constantly in activities. Families are very welcome and all are treated like one big family. The facility is nicely maintained, bright and cheery. My mom loves it there and we love her being there and so happy."

"My mother is in assisted living in Atria Westchase. We're very, very happy with the choice. She is in a studio apartment, which is quite spacious for her needs. She's here by herself, but I'm very happy with the care that she receives. She has a nurse's aide that comes and helps her shower three days a week. They help her dress in the morning. She receives occupational and physical therapy onsite if she needs it. They also have a nurse practitioner that comes out and takes care of medications. She does have medication assistance. There is a medication person that comes around and makes sure she has her medications when she needs them. They have lots of activities. She's very happy with the activities and the food. She has no complaints about that. Everyone is very kind. The place is immaculate. It is very clean. The grounds are lovely and manicured. The staff is very friendly and very kind. She has made friends with most of the staff. They come in and drop in to see her when they're in a hallway, or they'll see her when she's downstairs at activities. They have a full schedule of activities every day. I visit twice a week, and I've never been concerned about anything. I can call the director of the center any time I need to. I have called to ask a question once and I was quite impressed that she answered her phone when I called her, and I've gotten an answer. I haven't really needed to have anything fixed because things have gone so smoothly. The maintenance staff is very attentive and very helpful. There has been some turnover of late, but I suspect that that is an industry standard, and that happens quite often everywhere."

"We toured Brookdale Memorial Oaks. It was a nice and very clean facility. The rooms are nice, roomy, and accommodating for what we needed. The staff came out and spoke to us. Some showed us around the dining facilities."

"The Village of the Heights was a beautiful facility. They had individual apartments that ranged from a studio to a one and 2-bedroom apartment. It looked fairly new. The staff was more than welcoming and guided you through the process. They had pool tables and all kinds of stuff for the residents because these were assisted living people. So, they were very ambulatory. They were able to move around and participate. Some were on wheelchairs, but a lot of people were on independent walkers."

"My parents moved into The Abbey at Westminster Plaza. The overall experience is excellent. My parents adjusted very well to the situation. I found the staff to be very caring, attentive, and passionate. My parents have a nice size room and appropriate. We furnished it. I found everything to be very clean and well taken care of. I don't have any complaints about anything. The food seems to be very good, and no complaints there. I don't remember all the activities, but they keep them pretty busy every day."
