I visited this facilityReview of Landon Ridge Sugar Land Assisted Living and Memory Care

I went to Landon Ridge Sugar Land Assisted Living and Memory Care. It was very nice, bigger than I would have liked, and felt too big for my brother. The rooms were nice, it was pricier, but they had studios and apartments. They had a beauty place to get a haircut and get your nails done, and they had crafts.

I visited this facilityReview of Landon Ridge Sugar Land Independent Living

Landon Ridge Sugar Land was very nice, but the availability in the independent living was not much, and there was only one unit. They did say that if he wanted to put a deposit on that unit, he could. That unit was near the swimming pool, which was fine for some people, but my ex-spouse was on a walker, which worried me a little. The location of that room wasn't good because you'd have to walk a long way to get to the dining hall, and with him being on a walker that would be hard. There wasn't anything wrong with the community, but the unit wasn't good for his physical disability. The independent living and assisted living levels were all on the same campus. There were three buildings that were separated according to the needs or type of living. I didn't see a whole lot of activities, but I saw a lot of people enjoying the meals. We were there on a Sunday. It was like a buffet and they offered us a meal which was very nice. My ex-spouse was with us and enjoyed the meal very much. It's unfortunate that it was the only unit available at that time, but the unit itself was wonderful, newly remodelled, and looked out on a grassy area. It was very nice.

My visit at Greatwood at Sugar Land was fine. They were very nice people, and the place was nice, like the cafeteria. The rooms were also nice and everything was good. They helped with the laundry, there was an exercise room, and so on.

I visited this facilityReview of Overture Sugar Land 55+ Apartment Homes

The Overture Sugar Land was beautiful, but it was a little bit more than I could afford. It reminds me of a hotel. Ive never met more beautiful people in my life. I didnt even know people like that exist anymore. It was beautiful, neat and clean, classy, and gorgeous. It's just five minutes from my home, so Ive been there three times already. I was there when they had a social hour, so the people came out. Theyre happy to attend, and the food was wonderful and healthy.

I visited this facilityReview of Brookdale Sugar Land

Brookdale Sugar Land was clean, and the people who lived there seemed happy and well taken care of. The staff was very nice and professional. The food and the menu looked good, and the dining area was nice and clean. I liked this one of all of them because it was newer and well maintained. Some of them were playing bridge in one of the rooms.

I visited this facilityReview of Brookdale Sugar Land

Everybody was very nice at Brookdale Sugar Land. However, my mom's memory is not as bad as the patients I saw there. The building was small, older, and looked like a cozy house, but it needs some remodeling. The center patio was sad and basically had nothing on it. The people were very attentive. It seemed like people stayed there for a long time.

Brookdale First Colony was very nice, I like the people that I've met so far. They have a pool, card games, movies, and so on. The dining area was large and I saw a lot of the residents eating meals and having conversation. The staff was very friendly.

I visited this facilityReview of Atria Sugar Land

The inside of the Atria Sugar Land was nice, except I didn't like the rooms because they were too small. It wasn't what I was looking for. Everything was assisted living inside. The rooms didn't have a whole kitchen and they were very small for the price. Other than that, it was nice. The dining area was nice. The calendar of activities looked nice. I wasn't ready for my mother to be in assisted living and the cost was high for us. We were looking for more independent living. The staff was nice. They had a little piano, and the area was nice and cozy.
