Review- Memory Care Facility in Greater Houston Not Recommended

1/25/2014

I usually give glowing reviews about the places I visit but the truth is every place I visit doesn't deserve a glowing review.
This is exactly why you need to have a Professional Eldercare Advisor help you with your search.

On the surface this  Memory Care Assisted Living community looked great. It was new , clean and seemed to have all the bells and whistles. But when looking at a care facility for an aging loved one, especially one with dementia who can not advocate for their self, it is important to pay attention to the care staff.

This place was lacking in knowledge about the care of people with dementia. The staff had had very little training and to me that is unacceptable. There was no protocol in place for how to deal with challenging behaviors and they were willing to accept everybody into the community, appropriate or not. It was clear that the corporate office was pushing hard for the marketing office to fill up the building.

I will not bad mouth them on the web because I hope that they will change and get their act together soon. For now I will not be referring any clients to this community. If a family asks me about this or any other community I will tell them what I know and why I would not place my family member there.


If you are looking in the Houston area for a place for an aging parent, spouse or other loved one call me to get the help you need to make the best decision possible. My placement service is no charge to you and I am happy to help. email me today or call Kathryn 281-827-7090

I usually review assisted living properties I visit however I could not resist sharing this gem I found with you.


If you are concerned about your aging parent being over-medicated you really need to visit Katy Pharmacy. One of their specialties is Medication Therapy Management. This is something I had never heard about before. :-)


This family owned pharmacy will take the time to review your loved ones prescriptions and make recommendations. Often a client will be able to safely discontinue some of their medications with their doctors approval. The great thing is this service is free!


Katy Pharmacy also offers specialty medications you may not be able to find at your traditional pharmacy. Compounding is also offered to create the perfect dose for your needs.


If you are concerned about your aging parents medications stop by Katy Pharmacy at 20005 Katy Fry., Katy, Texas 77450 or visit online at Katy Pharmacy

 This Personal Care Home/ small Assisted Living is truly a gem! Run by a Licensed nurse who really has a heart for caring for the elderly higher levels of care are often able to be accommodated.


The price is about half of what you would pay in a large facility and you will get twice the care!


With a small home setting extra care and attention is available for your loved one. Round the clock caregivers who are awake ensure that your loved one always has someone available to help them.The meals are home cooked with the residents needs and desires in mind.


Don't allow your loved one to be a number in a large facility! In a home like this they will maintain their dignity and be loved and valued for the person they are.
