Memory Care Communities in Richmond, TX

"My brother is a resident at the Auberge facility in Sugar Land. Prior to being a resident here he was at another facility in Sugar Land and was so unhappy that it had an affect on his well being. He was moved to Auberge in Sugar Land and he is a different person. He has short term memory but other then that he is very functional. Clients are well cared for, staff is constantly active with clients, cheerful, and integrated with individuals who are on the functional level except for programs where everyone is together. I have yet to go there that I haven’t seen staff doing puzzles, artwork and other activities. There are gardens a work bench, a little golf area, areas to sit outside and bleachers so residents can watch sporting activities at the school next to the facility. There are animals, tv areas, etc. I was there during lunch and the food is nourishing, well prepared and pretty good. They do patient assessment on an ongoing basis and constantly communicating with the family. They have physical and occupational therapy on site. It is very clean with no smell, music playing, a large fish tank, and staff are always friendly and clean. Private rooms are few but a client is allowed to decorate and a display cabinet is outside each room so clients can display a few important items. I can only say that I have peace of mind and would highly recommend this facility to anyone. It may be small but it certainly mighty"

"The facility is pretty nice and everything. It seems like they're doing really well with my mother. She's really well there. The staff are real nice. They got a couple of Hispanic girls (staff) and they talk to her first thing in the morning because that's what she's kind of reverted to; talking in Spanish now because that's her first language. So she talks to them and it's hard for us because we don't talk Spanish but definitely okay with us. They bathe her, do her hair and make-up in the morning, so they're taking good care of her. She's in a real clean facility, no smells or anything like the nursing home that she was at and a couple of these other places we visited. "

"Mom was able to spend a week here and she really, really liked the facility. We liked how small it was and how the people were super friendly and nice, but in the end she just doesn’t really need that level of care yet. The staff seemed to really know their residents and care about them. If she would stay in a place, this is probably where she would stay. The rooms were a little bit older, but they were nice and big. We were able to eat there and it was fine. "

"My mother-in-law is in this facility and she needs 24 hour care, has dementia, alzheimers, doesn't walk and is incontinent. She is being taken care of by the most kindly and caring staff I have seen anywhere. There is never a harsh word spoken even though my mother-in-law has a history of being very nasty. The residents who live there are all treated with dignity and love. I don't think you could find a better care facility. The prices keep going up though and care can cost over $10,000 per month. We will try to keep her there as long as we can. "

"Atria Cinco Ranch was too expensive. It was $3,000 a month but that included everything. I liked that it's all senior people and you have access to anything you need. You can walk, there's ducks in the pond, you can take your dog for a walk, and it's everything you need. The room is beautiful. The staff is beautiful and they would ask if they can help you with anything. They're so helpful I got irritated. They have around the clock medical care, if you need it, at your disposal. The facility is beautiful. You can walk in the garden and walk your dog or feed the ducks. They have a barbecue area, a garden and you can plant flowers if you want to. Only thing is, they're not quite as active as I am. I'll be 69. I went to culinary school, I feed and neutered cats and dogs, I volunteer at the shelter and I drive a car. I think I'm overactive but I'm a bipolar too, I have to keep busy so I won't have to take medication. I checked out their price, I can't afford it. I'm on social security and I'm retired. It's out of my price range."

"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."

"The Reserve at First Colony's assisted living was very nice. It was clean and comfortable. The apartments were quiet and nice. A little bit isolated, but they were okay. The staff who toured me was very nice and very accommodating. The dining area was nice, clean, and spacious. It was a pretty friendly environment too. They have a library and a place for exercise. They also have a really nice area for the residents to just socialize."

"I toured The Reserve at Katy. Everybody was very friendly. They have a courtyard. They have a lot of things going on every week, and it changes. They have an arts and crafts room. They have a library. They have an area where you can play games, dominoes, and cards. They have a dining room. They do trips if you want to go. The bus takes you to the Farmers Market, shopping, or things like that."

"My dad was at Optimum Personal Care and they did a wonderful job. A friend referred me to this place. They have great staff who are very loving and caring. I don’t know what I would have done without them. They met his medical and dietary needs and at the same time makes him comfortable. This place was a good fit for us to have my dad stay at Optimum Personal Care. He was in a room and it was a good sized one. "

"The Abbey at Westminster Plaza is relatively new. It had a unit that I liked very much, and the people who I met were very informative and professional. "

"I toured Carriage Inn - Katy, and it was very good. It was all very nice. Everybody was friendly, and there was plenty of assistance for anybody who wanted it. I even tasted the food there, and it was good. It had very nice surroundings and rooms, good levels of care, and physical therapy on location, too. The staff was great and told me how everything worked there."

"I toured Brookdale Shadowlake. I was well-welcomed and the administrator was nice. She showed me around and went to look at the rooms, so I was impressed. The rooms were large, big enough to accommodate my loved ones."

"I am so very impressed with the entire staff, everyone and I do mean everyone will do whatever is asked of them. In my experiences they not only treat my sister with a kind heart, but also with compassion, patience and kindness. I am so blessed to know she is safe. Have you heard the phrase ""there are angels among us"" Go see for yourself, Riverstone is my little piece of heaven surrounding my sister."

"My aunt moved to Laurel Glen at Sugar Land. It's a beautiful facility. The staff was wonderful and the price was good. Her apartment is beautiful, clean, and very modern. They have a beautiful outdoor area, a swimming pool, a workout room, and very nice community areas."
