The Best Senior Living Communities in Alvin, TX

"My dad is a resident of Brookdale Clear Lake. The food is wonderful and better than any other place. He invites people to eat all the time because their food is very good. The waitresses are very, very sweet, and I have nothing negative to say about Brooke Clear Lake. I'm very pleased. The staff is what makes them special. They always helped me and my dad. They just went up on us so much, but they were cheaper than everybody else."

"We loved The Reserve at Pearland, but it was private pay, and there was no way we could cover that. Chloe was the sales director who toured us, and she is very likable. She has a great personality. The facility is beautiful and clean. The rooms are private little homes, like apartments, so they have little kitchen areas and everything. It's extremely nice, but it's all private pay. Chloe worked very hard to try to make us a good deal, but we couldn't cover it. It was very expensive. I would love to put my mother in that facility. They have a beautiful garden area with big magnolia trees."

"I toured Orchard Park at Southfork. They have activities for the people, so they don't just sit around and do nothing. They take them around outside, and they have little sit-to-be-fit, so they get a little exercise. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable. The dining area was nice and clean. In the memory care area it was just a little dark. It needed more lights or something, but everything was fine. There were no smells or anything like that."

"My wife was in Discovery Village Clear Lake in assisted living. It's a nice place, the food was good, and the service was very good. It's just expensive. It's like $7000 a month. The room, the staff and everything were very good. It was like a small apartment, two-room, with a full bath and shower. They had entertainment at least a couple of times a week. They have a library and a little courtyard. It was very good."

"We have chosen Reunion Court of Clear Lake for my mom. We toured it. The facility was nice. The people were nice. They have all the standard stuff, and lots of medical staff present. The facility was clean. The layouts are standard. They have studios and one-bedroom apartments. They have on-site memory care in case that becomes a need later."

"Large apartments. Liked the colors and light interior. Went with a friend to look at two or three apartments. The food was good. Everyone was very nice. The people who live there talked nice about the place and seemed very happy. If I lived closer I would live here! My friend is probably move in before the end of the summer."

"My mom has moved into Creekside Alzheimer's Special Care Center. It's been really good. They're very engaged with their patients, and they keep them very active. That's the main thing; they've got activities going one right after the other. They've been really wonderful. They took pictures of my mother the first day she was there and sent it to me to let me know how she was doing. My brother even called to check on her this weekend, and they asked if he wanted to speak to her, so they put her on the phone. They just go over the top to help. It's nice and small. They don't have showers in the individual room, that way they don't have to worry as much about falls. They have a centralized bathing location for them, which I think is a wonderful idea. Their rooms are very nice. They have in the facility, in the middle, a solarium that's open to the sun. I've seen them out there with the patients doing exercises. They have a garden out there, where the patients can actually grow plants (like tomatoes and stuff like that). They've been awesome and really good. I haven't tried the food due to Covid. It's kind of hard; they are very careful with COVID. They have you put on one of their N95 masks when you go to visit; and you can't visit in a common area. It keeps you away from other patients just to protect them. It's very homey. When you walk in, you feel you feel like you're in someone's home. The entryway opens right up into like a living room, and there's a library off to one side. Then the offices are intermingled right alongside the patients' rooms. There are people that work there milling around everywhere. The offices are not hidden anywhere; they're all right out in the open. They have far surpassed where we moved her from; that's for sure. I have seen them do more activities with them in just a few short days of moving around, than we saw at the previous place. They were singing church hymns, and I've seen them out doing Chair Taichi outside. I've seen them dancing and just lots of activities. It's much less expensive to go there than where we previously were."

"Sodalis Texas City was a very nice place. It was clean and the people were friendly. The price was just right. I liked that it had lots of choices of activities and things to do and it wasn't too far away from where we live. Beth was wonderful. She gave us a tour and was very nice. All the staff that she introduced us to were very friendly. The facility smelled nice. The size of the rooms was perfect."

"I was most impressed with The Shores at Clear Lake. I like the activities and its proximity to my home. I thought it was a very clean place. The staff was very friendly. They were very accommodating. That would have been the one I would have chosen for my husband if I had to put him in a facility. I looked at the menu and it looked very appetizing. I was very pleased with that one, and that would have been the one I chose. I talked to the sales representative. She was very friendly, very helpful, and followed up to check and make sure that things were going okay even though I said I didn't know if I was going to do it or not. I thought they were very helpful. The staff seemed pleasant with the people who were there. And the people there seemed very happy."

"Apex Oaks at Clear Lake is a memory care community only. It's a smaller complex and it's new. So, those were the things that led us to think that this place might be the right one. It has two big cottages. Some of the things they provide for the folks were impressive. They seemed like a closer type of community feeling. The staff was all very, very nice and very informative. All the people we met were very open and friendly. The facility was very well kept. It's just very nicely done. It's got some nice outside areas for the folks to be able to go outside, too."

"I moved into this community in Nov 2024 and it has been my best decision yet. The open concept space of my apartment, the security of the property, the friendliness of the staff and the true family and friendship feeling of this residential community. You will love it here as much as I do."

"My mom has lived in Senior Living facilities in the past including a memory care facility. There is a distinct difference between a facility and a licensed care HOME environment. At Agape my mom has (and continues) to receive love, respect and attentiveness. When I chose to move my mom to a HOME environment with 24/7 care it was the best decision I made. I have 100% peace of mind,. She has thrived over the past several years; (she has improved in her condition). Parkinson’s & Lewy Body Dementia are challenging to live with. Agape community HOME is just that…a home, peaceful environment, good home cooked meals. Each resident it treated as a family member and that makes a huge difference when comparing a HOME to a facility. The staff at Agape are kind and responsible for my loved one. I trust them!"

"The Park At Bay Area was pretty nice. It was an impressive walkthrough. They have so many different sections in there, plus the living section toward the back end was more like your own private apartment kind of situation. They said it's set up for couples if they wanna come. It's like maybe five on each side of a walkway, and it was very nice. They had an outdoor seating area for them. I was very impressed with that one, plus it's close to where we are. It would be easy to visit. It was great. I met with the manager or head person and a worker who was behind the desk, and then they gave me a tour at that time. My interest is the cleanliness of the place, the way the staff might interact with the residents there, and I was impressed with everything."

"I chose here for my husband, because they had a memory care and it was an established place where people are happy. What I liked the best about it is the caregivers. They are caring, loving, and they take good care of the residents. They have good activities, but there's just not enough of them. The facilities are very nice, and they have very good food. It's also the closest one to me, and it's right by a hospital."
