The Best Memory Care Communities in Fort Bend County, TX

"Riverstone Memory Center was very nice. I like it a lot. It looked very nice. I was very pleased with it. The only drawback I had was that the shower was down a couple of doors. I understand why they've done that, but I don't know if my brother-in-law would like that too much. Nevertheless, I like that they have these two-room suites because when you have a husband and wife living together, you need that much at least. The people working were very kind."

"I moved my mother in March. I liked the facility. They are very pleasant. It had a lot of trees and looked very natural. One of the biggest draws was the dining because she could order off of the menu, and there isn't a set time to eat. You just go when you want to eat and order what you want to order and that was very appealing to her. They also have breakfast all day long. She goes to exercise every morning, which she never had before. She never played bingo before and now she is playing bingo. They have happy hour on Fridays and some entertainment or music several times a month. Their outside facilities are very nice. She is very happy, so everything is going great. The medical care has been good. I asked for something and a doctor came to see her. Everything is great."

"I am so glad I decided on Agape Heritage Home for my mother. The manager and staff at Agape Heritage Home provided high quality care and support to her during her stay. Having not experienced the need for assisted living for my mom before, I found the manager, Dennis, to be a truly caring, kind and trustworthy soul, and he was helpful throughout my mom's stay, providing constructive guidance when needed during this stressful time. I am impressed by its cleanliness (one of her doctors came by to visit and was also highly impressed by its quality) and its small patient to caretaker ratio was perfect for my mom. She got skillful bedside attention from the staff. The food was fine for what she needed and is prepared on site, and since she was unable to groom and feed herself, the staff attended to those necessary tasks to our satisfaction. This facility allows for more personal attention than the bigger facilities. The environment is like a private home, with private and semi-private bedrooms, living room, and kitchen, staffed with qualified and caring professionals. The facility is properly secure, so I felt my mom was safe at all times. I truly appreciate the wonderful care my mom received here and I highly recommend Agape Heritage Home to those families seeking high quality assisted living care for their loved ones in a peaceful, secure, clean, and caring environment."

"We chose Laurel Glen at Sugar Land for my aunt because of the pricing, the number of activities they offered, and the number of residents. The rooms are good. They have an outdoor pool and an outdoor kitchen. They have a nice gazebo outside with a pond that's stocked for fishing. The rooms are very well laid out. They had plenty of areas for them to have activities or just to relax. They do weekly outings to grocery stores or just a general outings for the residents. They do weekly Wine Down Wednesdays. They had four to five things planned out every day. The staff was helpful and friendly. They are very nice to the residents and it seems they cared. Laurel Glen at Sugar Land has very low prices even without the ongoing special."

"We were able to visit Osa Heritage Homes in Richmond. We found it to be very nice; however, the price was too high. The gentleman who accommodated us offered to negotiate a lower price, but not by much. We enjoyed the tour though -- it was very good. He showed us their private and semi-private rooms and told us what the room rates included. We also met one person who was working there on a Friday afternoon. Everybody we met there was nice. The current residents appeared to all possibly have dementia (we don't know that for sure, we're just guessing). If we do go for it, we'll get the semi-private room, but my sister's husband will need 100% assistance, and that is not an exaggeration. He's in a wheelchair, so he needs assistance from the bed to the wheelchair, from the wheelchair to the bathroom, and then back again. He also needs assistance from the bed to the dining room, to get to his wheelchair, and to go outside and enjoy the views. It was a nice place and we enjoyed it, but I don't think he would like it. Everybody we talked to was nice. The tour was nice and educational, and the person who gave us the tour answered all of our questions. He also told us some things that we didn't ask about because we were not very knowledgeable about these facilities. We also met one other staff member. She was busy, but we were able to speak with her. It was her job to keep the place clean, and the place was really clean."

"My friend has been in Anderson Independent Home for a year now. She is so much better since she has been over there. I'm very pleased with the care that Sharon gives her. My friend is gaining her weight back and she is looking so much better. The lady makes sure that my friend takes her medicines. I'm just very well pleased. I would really refer to Sharon that needs care because she takes good care of them. Every time I go over there, my friend is always clean. Sometimes I would call and tell Sharon that I'm on my way there, but I would never catch my friend being dirty. Also the house is immaculate. It is always clean, which says a lot. Sharon takes real good care of my friend. I'm truly impressed with her. Everybody is kind; they take care of business. She gives the residents balanced meals. When my friend was at home, she wasn't eating, but she eats now and she eats well. I would rate Anderson Independent Home a 5 because my friend is very clean and everything is neatly put away. I have been in my friend's room. She has her own TV and everything is set up really nice. Value is good, too."

"The Abbey is a new, clean, and well-organized facility. They were pleasant to work with. "

"My friend moved to Brookdale Shadowlake. The location is a lot closer to where I'm at for her. The rooms are pretty big. They have bingo and arts and crafts there. She really liked it."

"Atria Westchase seemed very luxurious, and the staff was friendly. They were very proud of their kitchen. They kept talking about how excellent their food was. However, it was a lot pricier than the other two locations, and for me, it didn't offer anything that the other two wouldn't have in terms of staff, beauty, and luxuriousness. I didn't see the added factor for those couple of thousand dollars more. It is a very beautiful place, and you feel like you're in a resort, not so much like in a community. It is very hotel type. "

"The Delaney at Parkway Lakes is too large and wasn't as friendly. It's brand new and a lot more expensive. The rooms are like any other small apartment."

"We visited Tender Care Assisted Living in Houston. It looked good, and we are kind of leaning that way for my mother's care. We liked it for its staff and its size. It's a residential home. We also liked the flexibility on pricing, as far as waiting for the VA Aid and Attendance to kick in. They are going to work with us on that. The staff was attentive and very nice. The facility was clean, but it looked average to me. It's not bad, but it could be better."

"My brother was a resident for one year and eight months. During that time, he had the most amazing care. Every staff member was kind and thoughtful about his every need. The food was delicious. I often took bites because it looked and smelled so good. His meds were reduced to simply Rx for sleep at night. I can't imagine a better facility. "

"Brookdale Memorial Oaks is a very nice facility. Nothing by comparison to the décor and design because it was an older facility, but I noticed that the residents were so happy. They had great programs, they were very active and moving around the facility, unencumbered and with great ease, and they were happy with their meals, were interactive with relationships with each other, and it was like a great big nursery school for elderly people. The staff was magnificent, and they were long time employees; it's rare and unusual in the care industry that people stay at the same place for long periods of time. They had been there as long as 10 years which I thought was impressive. We sent my mother there. "

"It was a great facility. It's relatively small, and it's very clean. They're very caring for their people and helped us out with everything we needed and even gave us references that we talk to people that had loved ones there, and they were just awesome. The staff was very, very good, answered all of our questions, and was very helpful with everything that we needed. She was fantastic. I can't say enough about her. They were all individual rooms. Everybody had an individual room, you supply your own bed, and you decorate it the way you want to make it feel like home. They assist them three times a week with bathing and all their meals are cooked there, they do their laundry, they have medical staff that comes in, and they have a beautician. They have everything that a resident needs. They have lots of activities going on. It was great. They were doing an activity when we walked in. They were making paper flowers. We toured about 1:30 and then a lot of them just had lunch and they were taking naps. They were topnotch."
