Landon Ridge Sugar Land Independent Living

My mother moved into Landon Ridge Sugar Land Independent Living in May of 2019 after my father suddenly passed last April of 2019. On a recommendation from our family friend, we visited Landon Ridge knowing that Mom would have to downsize and move into a place where people were readily available to take care of her. The fact that my brother and I lived outside if Texas made it difficult for us to imagine Mom staying in her large home without Dad. After a tour of Landon Ridge, we decided right away to have Mom move in, as she liked a particular apartment, which was previously, a model apartment. Mom is on her 9th month at Landon Ridge, and we are so pleased and grateful for the staff's caring and individualized attention toward Mom -- they have been so accommodating to our family and have been there for Mom when she needed them most. The other residents made Mom feel completely welcome after she first moved in and was rather anxious about being there after such a trauma from Dad's sudden heart attack and passing. Mom has made many friends and continues to meet new people and enjoy the social time that they value. The facilities are also top-notch -- the swimming pool is clean and well-maintained, and the staff is ready to fix any problems the apartments may have (if a lightbulb goes out, or if she can't re-set the thermostat, etc.). The meals are well planned and healthy and the food is plentiful and soft for Mom's delicate teeth. They also offer storage rental so that Mom's things can be close by to her (hers are just the floor below, for example). They also allow rental of a life alert badge which Mom wears around her neck in case of emergencies. I do wish they used recycle-able take-away containers for people's leftovers at the meals, rather than styrofoam containers, but hopefully, they will be able to switch over soon. They also have daily activities (games, fitness classes, swimming sessions, dance, movies, etc.) that Mom has fun choosing from - it's way more than enough to keep her busy. I have joined Mom for meals and some activities while she was just moving in, and everyone is so supportive and encouraging; Mom felt very comfortable right away. We highly recommend Landon Ridge to anyone who cares for their loved ones but lives and works far away as my brother and I do. We know Mom is in good hands, and she is so comfortable there, that we are simply grateful that after our family's loss, Mom can enjoy her golden years in the company of such kind and caring people.

In Landon Ridge Sugar Land, they were supposed to give us lunch but they did not offer. It's a beautiful community but it's expensive, and it just didn't have the warmth that the others have. It just felt very cold. The 2-bedrooms that we saw were absolutely beautiful and had a lot more room than the place we chose. We felt a lot more comfortable on the other one. They had a waiting list. They had enclosed covered parking. As for the staff, we talked to that one young lady and she was business-like.

My mother stayed at Landon Ridge Sugar Land Independent Living, but she needed more assistance. There were two buildings, one for independent and one for assisted, and I liked them. They were excellent, but I was afraid that she would keep going back to her old place. They're not pet friendly. They kept restricting where my mom could take her dog. When we were there the first year, she could take her dog anywhere in the building except for the dinner area. With the new owners, she could only take her dog out of her door to the closest outside the door. She was not allowed to take her in the hallways. The food was excellent, but they would run out of special desserts or special meats. They had a lot of activities and it's a gorgeous building. They had a hair salon, a beautiful library, a pool, a gym, and about everything just for independent living that a senior would want. The staff was excellent.

I have contracted with Watercrest at Sugarland. A friend of mine went with me, and we were met by a representative there from the marketing office. She was very friendly and showed us around the whole facility. It's rather large. She was very nice and gave us an excellent tour. She showed us available apartments that I might be interested in. I was interested in a two-bedroom, and there were several that we could look at. She showed us the dining room, the library, the workout room, the large swimming pool, and explained parking. It was very thorough and very nice. After we came back to the marketing office, she and another lady said they have the perfect apartment for me, so we went back and looked at that again and that's the one I'm taking. I'm moving in on the 21st.

I chose Watercrest at Sugar Land because of the culture, the friendliness, and the great attitude of the people, which is the main attraction. It's also convenient because it's near hospitals and shopping centers. They also have a good activity program.

My tour at Watercrest was fine, they were nice, and it seemed  likemother will be happy there. They have independent living, and they have one floor dedicated to assisted living. Everyone was very friendly and seemed to know what they're talking about. They have meal plans that you can buy, they have a dining room where the meals are served, and breakfast is included in the meal plan. They do have activities and rooms for activities, games, movies, and puzzles. They have a computer room and a swimming pool where they teach water aerobics. It's a very large facility, but it's all indoor, so to get to the dining area is a hike with elevators if needed. Utilities are paid for except for electricity, and I think the telephone. My mother will move in the middle of March.

We were pleased with Watercrest. My parents are not ready to make a change, but they are on the top of our list. We liked everything about it, including how the setup was exactly what we’re looking for. The staff was very helpful and very pleasant. We appreciated that they took a lot of time with us. It was affordable, which we were happy with, too. It’s an hour away from us but doable.

I visited Watercrest at Sugar Land and really liked it. It's very nice. I liked the floor plan and the openness of the place. I also liked their physical fitness area and their pools because they are inside and have a Jacuzzi. They have activities, like arts and crafts and sometimes have painters who do water coloring visit, and I like that aspect. I also like that they have Bible studies and church activities.
