The Best Senior Living Communities in Houston, TX

"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 friend is in the independent living at Clarewood House Senior Community. They have different levels, and that was helpful for us. In case he needs to move up to assisted, it's not going to be a drastic move. We can still stay there, but just move to the assisted floor. If he needs more than that, then we can still stay there and move up to the next level. It's a multi-leveled facility, which is good because his health is not great. The floor will change, but the dining hall is the same, the chapel is the same, and all the people he meets and he is meeting will be the same. It takes you up to hospice. The staff is extremely helpful. They know everybody by name. It's very welcoming. When he moved in, they had a big gathering to welcome him. They have so many daily activities, and if someone signs up and they don't show up, they go and check on them. If he misses a dinner, the ladies on his hallway will go and knock on his door and make sure he's OK, or if he's overslept. They're very accommodating, from the office staff to the residents. Everyone has been extremely welcoming, and he is enjoying it. He has a one-bedroom, and it has a bathroom and a bedroom that connect and then there's a little living room and a kitchen, and it has a closet in between the front door and the kitchen for more storage if you need it, and it's very spacious. They had painted it all. It has brand new carpet. It's an older building, but they've done a lot of renovations, and it's lovely. They've painted the whole outside of the building as well, so it's very eye-catching."

"I just moved to Brookdale Memorial City in Houston, an independent living community. It's been good and fun. I don't have any problem. I have an apartment which is nice and big enough for me. The place is very warm, and the upkeep is great. The staff is also very patient and understanding. I tried the food, and it was great."

"I toured Brookdale West University. It's very, very clean. What I like about it is that everybody controls their own air because the air conditioner is not central. It's roomy, and the room is nice. I really like it. They have a stove and a fridge in your room, which is very nice. They have five different sections of washing areas where you can wash your clothes. If you get up and you can't wash your clothes, they will send somebody to come and get them and wash them for you. They also do all the cleaning and everything. I don't have to do anything. The staff who gave the tour was very good. She was very nice. We had rice and peas and everything. We had lunch there. I don't have any complaints here. What I like about the building itself is that there are only three levels, so it's not high."

"When I went to Tender Care Assisted Living, it was so very clean. The caregivers were very helpful in giving information, and seeing how they worked while I was there. It was a very nice facility and great caregivers. The communication was very good. They communicated with the patients. While I was there, I noticed a lot of what they were doing, keeping them comfortable, and interacting with them. I noticed that they had outdoor space, which is nice, the living space area for them to come and watch TV out in the living area, which is a very nice size. They have games and interactive games, but I didn't see a workout facility, they said they do work out with them. They're not just sitting in a chair. They try to get them to do some things with their legs and arms."

"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."

"The Village of Southampton was stunning. The views there are tremendous. You can see the whole city and can see downtown. The location is in the Rice Village at Rice University. There's a whole bunch of shops there. As long as we're able bodied, we can walk a mile or two. There's a lot of places that are within walking distance. That's the strong point of that one. The views are awesome. It's like 18 stories (or something like that), and all the apartments are just gorgeous. We've been there twice. They have exercise rooms, a swimming pool, and a lounge on the top floor. You could buy alcohol, snack foods, sandwiches, and stuff. The view is like drop dead gorgeous. There's an outside balcony that goes halfway around the building. It's stunning. The food was excellent. This is the best place in town."

"The Village of Meyerland was nice. My uncle enjoyed that one. Depending on what side you were on, there were rooms with a view that looked out over Brays Bayou. He liked the view, but he didn't like the fact that the only way he could see it was to be up high. The facility was great. The people were good. At the time, the rooms that they had available that would accommodate his needs were on the upper levels, and he wasn't comfortable with being up that high. We looked at one-bedroom apartments. The parking was fine."

"The Village of River Oaks was beautiful. My uncle commented on the dining room because that was one of the areas that we walked near as we were getting to the offices. They had chandeliers in there, and for him, it was fancier than what he might do on his own. He was looking at the costs based on the amenities that they had. The pool would be something he would never use. They had a lot available, but they weren't activities that he would necessarily engage in. The staff was great. They answered all of his questions."

"I toured Belmont Village West University. It was a very nice place, and it seemed to have a lot of great activities for the residents. It unfortunately was out of the range of distance that my client would want to go. It was a little too far. However, if I knew somebody in that area, I would tell them to look into it. The model room was very nice. It had a very nice large bathroom and shower area. It's just a bedroom-type setting. I didn't interact with a lot of the staff members, but everyone seemed very pleasant. Everyone greeted me, which makes a difference."

"I toured Brookdale The Heights. I like the fact that they have their own individual room, they have their own individual showers, and it's basically the people. They're there to help you if you need it. One, in particular, they help you if you need assistance in the shower, dressing, and that type of care. These are more like studio-type apartments. The staff was very informative, very nice, and very polite. It was very welcoming, and they had an open-concept cooking area where the chefs prepared meals. If you wanted to sit alone you could, or if you wanted to have other people join you that was also available. The residents seemed to be very happy there. I mean, they just seemed like they wanted to be there."

"We toured Brookdale Memorial Oaks. It was a nice and very clean facility. The rooms are nice, roomy, and accommodating for what we needed. The staff came out and spoke to us. Some showed us around the dining facilities."

"Excellent for higher functioning Alzh's patients. Love the facility, staff and food."
