Bluebonnet seemed very nice, it was very accommodating, it was very friendly, and the residents were pretty happy. The room is very nice, but you had to furnish it.

Blue Bonnet is absolutely wonderful. The staff was excellent, friendly, warm, concerned, caring, and sincere. They are superb, knowledgeable, and go out of their way to assist my parents. It’s great.

Blue Bonnet Place was nice, but it was a little bigger, and the rooms were bigger. They were having a little get-together while we were there.

Bluebonnet House has indeed gone through 4 directors in the last 4 years. Their employee turn over rate is very high as well.
The food is horrible. I mean horrible. Sparse portions and usually just a sandwich and chips for the evening meal. No fruit with it. Lunch usually is a larger meal, but still not anything I would call delicious. One meal I was there, visiting a relative, and the "chicken breast" they served was hard as a brick and dry. It was so tough that a resident didn't have the strength to cut it. She was trying to eat it with her hands but it was still too tough. I cut up her meat for her, but she couldn't chew it well. They consistently run out of food at the end of the month. The "cook" just can't cook. On family night they serve a meal, but it is always barely edible. How can a person mess up cupcakes? They can and do! I feel some of the food budget should be used for fresh vegetables (when in season) from a local farmer's market once in a while. Use a little imagination and make the food look appetizing. These people are unable to eat anywhere else and are forced to eat this way. It's sad.
They blame "corporate" for the menus, but come on, they could do so much better.

I did not get to see much in the way of amenities as we met with my friend in his room. The place appeared to be clean, not very large and there did not appear to be many residents. It almost appeared to be a hospice facility because so many of the residents looked worse for wear. The rooms for residents were a cross between hotel/hospital I guess attempting to have a home like environment but it was cheaply done. The staff was friendly as far as I could tell but I only dealt with the front desk, but I did see some people walking around checking on patients

We moved my mom and dad into this place in April 2011. My dad passed away 3 months later and we moved Mom out in March 2012. The facility seriously declined in the short time we were there. They went through 4 facility directors in less than one year. The quality of the food has significantly declined and they are short staffed. As a result, most of the residents living there when my parents moved in are now gone. I wil be very surprised if they are in operation six months from now.

The Bluebonnet House is a nice assisted living facility that we decided to visit since we were in the area looking at places for our uncle to live. A lot of our family lives in Texas, so we are checking out as many places as we can.
They offer memory and Alzheimer's care - which is good because our uncle has early stages of memory issues -- and we are not certain how his condition may progress. They assured us that they could handle whatever may arise.
All of the community rooms were spacious and nicely decorated -- and felt a lot like home. The overall environment is that of a quaint motel that one might stay at for a few days, and much less clinical than many similar places.
We liked the outside grounds which were very well kept with plenty of ample seating. The activities scheduled include reading, cinema, games and plenty of exercise. The residents are taken on weekly outings, as well.
Every need that the residents may require seemed to be easy to accommodate and the staff seemed very attentive and caring to everyone, including us.
The foods offered looked nutritious and appetizing, as did the many snacks -- which are available throughout the day and evening.
Really, a very nice facility for seniors. The environment is just as it should be -- kind, caring and attentive.
