You may be thinking, " But my parents need assisted living?" Do they? With the new independent living + model  many adults can enjoy all the the amenities and luxuries an Independent community has to offer. The + is an on site home care company who can help with the many activities of daily living.
This place was drop dead gorgeous! The apartments were spacious and yes your king size bed will fit. :-) Kitchens equipped with granite counter tops and upgraded cabinets and appliances. This is truly a home. Happy hour is every day at this community as this group knows how to have fun!


Call me today to discuss if Independent Living may be the right option for your parent. There is never a charge for my consultation. Kathryn- 281-827-7090 or email

Review- Personal Care Homes in the Clear Lake, Texas area

Today I visited several Personal Care Homes in the Clear Lake area. I have to tell you they were like night and day.


The first one I toured was run down looking with paint peeling on the front door. Ok, I can look past a little paint right. :-) When the owner opened the door however the smell of urine overcame me. This is not good I thought. She had forgotten I was coming and quickly made an excuse that it was not a good time for a tour. Made me wonder....just what did she not want me to see?


The next place I visited was quite the opposite. Even though I called only 10 minutes before arriving everything was spotless. There were no smells except the delicious lunch being cooked for the residents. What I really noticed about this place however was the smiles everywhere! residents were smiling, staff was smiling and everybody seemed to be doing something. Someone was reading, a group was playing a card game, one of the staff members was painting a ladies nails, everybody seemed engaged. This was truly a home away from home and one I will happily refer my clients to.

Review- Exceptional Small Assisted Living Homes in The Woodlands/ Spring/Kingwood Texas

Inside and out this small assisted living home is the perfect place to call home. One of a group of 8 homes in The Woodlands, Spring and Kingwood this home gets high marks from me.

When I first entered the home it smelled heavenly. One of the care team was cooking lunch. The smell of homemade beef stew, mashed potatoes and stewed okra ( a special request from one of the residents.) This is what I love about these smaller homes. The food is fresh and the residents have a say in what is served. Everybody gets a say!



There were smiles every where and they residents all engaged in conversation with me. Two of the ladies I met were 99 years old! Ahhh,  the stories they could tell. :-) 


The owner, Terri and her husband are involved in the day to day operations of their homes and seem to be doing an amazing job. Besides the two  live in care partners, they have a cottage coordinator , two nurses and of course the owners visiting from  one home to the next.


Music therapy is brought in every other week as well as pet therapy, hair care services and much more. On cooler days residents can enjoy the outdoors and even garden in some of the raised bed gardens. Isn't it time your loved one deserved the best!
