Landon Ridge Sugar Land Assisted Living and Memory Care

Landon Ridge Sugar Land Assisted Living and Memory Care was the first place I visited and it looked like a possibility. It's clean and fresh. My mother-in-law would've liked it. She has an artistic personality and they had painting classes and stuff set up. They had a library, a TV room, painting classes once a week, and some other things going on. It had onsite memory care as well as assisted living. It had small studios as well as one-bedrooms. Everyone was friendly and doing their best to help me set things up for my mother-in-law to have a smooth transition. The food looked good. They had menus and it looked to be a very nice setup. They had an alternate menu for somebody who didn't like the full menu like hamburgers or sandwiches. It was a good location. It's very easy to get to.

My godmother lives in Landon Ridge Sugar Land Assisted Living & Memory Care. It's all on one big block and you can live in a building. The second floor is Alzheimer's care and my dad lived there before he passed away. The first floor is assisted living and you have small apartments there. She lives in their assisted living. She has her meals in the dining room, she goes play bingo, and she goes out and does crafts. I know she does things even though she's 95 years old. She has a one-bedroom, dining room, living room, and kitchen area. It's like a one-bedroom apartment, but it's an open apartment. They come in and clean once or twice a week. They assist with her showers and things like that. It's kept very nice. She's not a picky eater. She enjoys the food that's there. She does not cook for herself. Sometimes her daughter comes over and brings food and they'll have a meal in the room, so they can visit longer and more casually by doing it like that. They have crafts, a reading room, worship services, and bible study. The staff is awesome. It's a beautiful facility. It's so welcoming when you come in. When you walked in the door, you just feel like you just came home. You come into a library and everyone that works here stops and tells you, "Hello, how are you doing?" It's not phony. It's a truly sincere, "How are you doing? How are you?" and they're truly interested in how you are and who you are. If you are living there, they know your family. They recognize that you're somebody's daughter. They may say, "He's not having a good day today. It's a good thing you came because I think he's not just feeling up to par. He'll be glad to see you." She's very happy there. She needed to be closer to some family members and she needed to have a little more assistance and help and this is a place that could give it to her, so that's what she did.

My family member has lived at this facility for almost 2 years. Sadly the quality of care, communication, and overall management and care of the residents has declined a lot. We are looking for another place and will be moving soon. I'm posting this to help other families in making a difficult decision to find a new, caring home for their loved one. Unfortunately I strongly recommend going elsewhere.

I was very impressed with Landon Ridge Sugar Land. I was impressed when meeting the staff and the physical facility, but it did not meet my mother's needs. It was a very nice physical layout and they seemed to have lots of activities. The rooms were quite nice. The dining area looked quite nice, too. It is a fairly large community. They have 200 plus people there. It is newer and spacious. It is almost too spacious because the rooms are fairly far apart. I did not see any activity rooms so I don't know what daily activities that they have. The atmosphere seems nice. The staff members are quite good and knowledgeable.

Landon Ridge was beautiful, everyone was very professional, and the residents seemed to be enjoying themselves. The salesperson was a delight, gave me all the details, and gave me a tour of the different facilities, including what they offer. I liked the environment. They have a lot of amenities, a lot of common spaces, and they have an outdoor area. I liked the layout of the apartments. I was overall extremely pleased. They had bigger and smaller one-bedroom apartments, and studio or efficiency ones, with plenty of closet space, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

My mom is at Landon Ridge. The whole place is lovely. It used to be Sycamore Place. However, they have a need for more employees, that's where we've had some trouble. Now, it seems to be going more smoothly. It's working out much better than we expected. My mom's room is beautiful. It's 2-rooms with a small kitchenette that she doesn't use. There are places where families can meet and talk. They have a popcorn cookie place, a fancy room, an activity room, a music room, and an exercise room. The chef cooks the local cuisine. The staff members who work with my mother are extremely nice, patient, and very sweet. They have lots of activities. My mom cannot see, but they have been able to accommodate and help her, so that's been great. The activities have been fabulous. They have music, of course, and sometimes they have kids come in and do things with them. They have lots of storytelling, which my mom loves. It is called The Treasured Memory. Everybody brings what they want and tells whatever story they want. It is very nice; it's fabulous.

The Sycamores at Sugar Land was a very nice, clean, new community with an excellent layout. They had windows that illuminated the halls, so you don't feel closed in. The service looked very nice, too. The staff was attentive. One of them spoke Spanish, so that's a plus. We were looking for places that have Spanish-speaking staff because Spanish is my mom's first language, and she doesn't remember too much of her English.
