Memory Care Communities in Pearland, TX

"I toured Reunion Court of Clear Lake. Everybody was friendly. We talked to some of the people there, and there was nothing negative about it. We saw the rooms. They were good."

"I went to look here, but I couldn't afford it. I liked that it was very clean. I like that the tenants were all very cordial and friendly. The meals were wonderful. You had a selection every day. You weren't forced to eat the same things every day. They had wonderful food. They also had a very good activity director who kept you busy doing things that you didn't have a chance to start feeling sad or sorry for yourself or the condition that you were in. The staff was wonderful. Anything that you needed done, all you had to do was tell them. They were a good community. I wish that I had been able to get in there and stay there because it also had assisted living and memory care right there on the same property, just in different buildings. So as my illness progressed, I could have moved from one to the other without a problem."

"We visited the assisted living facility. They're a very clean facility. The decorations that they have, as far as the whole building itself, look like a hotel instead of a nursing home. The rooms were very nice. The nurses were nice, and the people seemed happy. They were all sitting in the kitchen eating, and it was very nice. I like that my father would have a private room for himself there with his own shower, and he can control his air conditioning, because he gets cold and then he gets hot. I really like the whole place in general. They have a hands-on baking class where they can all purchase a plate and cook whatever they want. They have bingo nights, movie nights, and all kinds of activities. The person who gave the tour was very nice and respectful. She asked me if there was anything that I wanted to ask about, and she answered every question. She was very nice to the people who were there, and they all seemed to know her. There were hugs, and it's like they're one big family. They were in the process of eating lunch, and she said we were welcome to sit there and eat if we wanted to. She said they have a chef who works there, and he prepares gourmet meals for them. He used to work for a hotel, and they hired him there. He's been cooking for them for 20 years."

"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."

"I visited The Village of Southampton about six weeks ago. I liked the fact that they had three levels of care, independent living, assisted living, and memory care. It's all in one building. It's a high-rise building. They had activities for the people who live there. Everything was provided. They give you a list of activities for the whole month. Everything looked perfect. Everything was perfect. I saw an apartment, the dining room, the different rooms where they have activities, and I saw the vehicle that carries the people wherever they want to go. I talked to a couple of the residents, and they seem to be happy there. The staff who showed me around was very professional. I didn't try the food and seeing the menus, it looked very good. And they will take care of special diets."

"I recently moved my mother into the Gardens of Bellaire. The facility has a more vibrant and "homey" feel to it relative to other places I visited. The apartment was clean with good natural light. The staff was top notch. I needed to move my mom on short notice and the staff, Cherlaine in particular, helped me in expediting the process. All staff that I interacted with were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Every time I visited there were ongoing activities with the residents in the main living room. I visited with several residents, and all were happy. There is also a nice screen porch and outdoor gardens. My wife just returned from visiting my mom and she feels the same way."

"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."

"Com for Care Assisted Living is small, but they're more focused on the patients. My mom has been there for a week now. The staff members are great. My mom speaks Spanish mostly, and the staff speaks Spanish, which is a plus for my mom. Their food is all home-cooked. It's like a house, not like a big facility. They're limited in there. However, I'm really happy with it. They have a little patio where they can sit outside. From the back, they have a backyard, too."

"My mom went to The Park at Bay Area twice for respite care. They're very kind. The facility is very clean. They have lots of things and activities for the residents to do. The director gave us her cell phone number. Even after we were done with respite care, she did follow up and call. Anytime we had an issue or a concern, I called her cell phone. She called me back with an answer as to what was going on. It was very individualized care. The room was spacious and very clean. We used their furniture and stuff. It was very nice, comfortable, and decorated nicely. Everything was very accessible for my mom. My mom liked the food. They do bingo. They have arts and crafts. The residents could go to the car show. They have ice cream trucks come to the facility. They have karaoke and live bands that come and play for them, and my mom liked that. The staff members were amazing, super kind, and sweet."

"I like Apex Oaks. Their people are excellent and just professional. It's small and cozy. My wife moved to the memory care. When we first went out there, she had a bare room, so you have to supply your own furniture, so we went, bought furniture, and decorated her room. The food is actually good. It's not institutional food like you usually get at other places. The dining room feels homey. It's a great place."

"My tour at The Avenues of Fort Bend was fine; it was nice. I saw both the assisted living and memory care, because as we were walking, the staff was showing me around, and showing me everything. Someone comes in to do activities with them, they have a choir area, they have a garden, so whoever wants to go out they can go out into the garden. I met the manager of the place and I saw some workers giving them breakfast."

"Everybody at The Village of River Oaks was very welcoming. The rooms felt nicer. I felt like I could live there myself. It seemed like they spent a lot of attention on their residents. It was very nice. It felt more like I was living in an apartment or something like that, with staff to help me. It had a good feel to it. They have an area where they do a lot of their gatherings. They had a nice dining area. They also had a valet and a salon where they could get their nails and hair done. It seemed a little bit more posh. It was very clean, too. You could tell that they took very good care of it. I liked it. The people were very helpful. They were very nice. I saw some of the residents there. They all look like they were well taken care of. Everybody seems to be pretty happy there."

"My dad moved into The Cottages at Clear Lake. The place is very clean. Everybody sits in his own designated area. They have a kitchen and everybody sits down together. They're pretty good people. They treat my dad pretty well. The meals are pretty good and I have eaten them. They've got anything from church to games. There's always an activity going on throughout the day."

"We place my mother at Optimum Personal Care. She has been there since September. We chose it because it is well staffed. The ratio is 5-to-1. It is very clean and has no odor whatsoever. The people are very nice and seem to be fit for the kind of work that they are doing. They are very attentive to the clients. They just do an excellent job. I have never seen a place run so well. The other reason is that it is small. They have two houses and/or buildings, and I think the maximum number in the one she is in is 10. So, there is a large living room area, and then there are rooms around that area. So, if she has a need, she can just speak loudly; even though she wears a device around her neck, she will be able to get the attention that she needs. We like that rather than a large place. "
