Review- Small Assisted Living Homes in Southwest Houston

I visited a couple of assisted living  personal care homes  in Southwest Houston yesterday. One was really nice. When I drove up to the property it was apparent that the yard was well kept. I could see a garden in the back and places for residents to sit and enjoy the day. ( when it's not 90 degrees outside!) 


Inside the floors were shinny and spotless. A resident walked up to me and began a conversation. Linda the manager showed me the whole facility. Lunch was beginning and I was able to see all of the residents and caregivers together. The residents were are clean and well groomed. They seemed to be enjoying their lunch. A caregiver sat at the table to assist one resident who was having trouble swallowing. She was so gentle  and encouraging with him. This is the kind of care you can only get in a small home like this. With only 15 residents, 3 caregivers a cook and a manager there  are plenty of people to help.

All Personal Care Homes are not created equal however. The other two I visited one was Ok. Nothing exceptional and the other I would not recommend at all.It was not clean, had an odor and most important the staff was not friendly. It felt like everybody woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. :-) This is why it is important to do your homework. As an Eldercare Advisor I am able to help you find a good home for your aging parent where they will receive the care they deserve.
