Fountainwood at Lake Houston

Fountainwood at Lake Houston sits on seven acres at 17990 W Lake Houston Pkwy in Atascocita, TX, and has a single building built from steel, brick, and stucco, completed in 2020 for about $45 million, and what's nice is there are 190 units total, including 98 in independent living, 68 for assisted living, and 20 devoted to memory care, so there's room for plenty of residents but it doesn't feel crowded since there's a mix of private studios, shared suites, and spacious one- or two-bedroom apartments, each with floor plans called Persimmon, American Elder, Water Oak, Live Oak, Eastern Redbud, and Sycamore, which means you get to choose whatever layout feels right for you and every place comes with handicap accessibility, pet-friendly options, and Wi-Fi so folks can stay connected. The campus has a fully equipped gym for those who want to stay active, an arts and crafts area for creative projects, a big entertainment room for games or movie nights, and a kitchen space if you want to do some of your own cooking. Outdoors, you'll see a pool with pool chairs, and there's a good bit of space to sit outside when the weather's nice. Meals get planned by chefs who focus on nutrition and flavor, and there are multiple dining and bistro areas, which keeps the eating experience lively, and if you don't want to cook or clean up, there's weekly housekeeping and laundry. Scheduled rides are available for local errands, and the whole place is set up as a continuing care retirement community, so you can move between independent living, assisted living, and memory care as needs change-plus they offer respite care and home care options if folks need temporary or in-home help with things like medication, bathing, and dressing. The memory care area is designed for safety and helps seniors with dementia or Alzheimer's feel secure and engaged, while programs like the Military Veterans Program and various exclusive activities make it easy to stay connected and involved, whether you like to socialize, attend special events, or just take part in whatever's going on that day. Rent starts at $3,560 for independent living, which covers the basic services, and the facility is focused on giving folks the right mix of independence and support, with staff trained to nurture the mind, body, and spirit in a way that lets everyone feel at home and live comfortably as they age.
