Serenity Gardens - Friendswood sits in a neighborhood setting on W. Willowick Ave, giving a comfortable and home-like feel. The staff include caregivers who speak English and are on hand around the clock, looking after residents like family, and the facility's not corporate-owned, so people often build stronger bonds here. With a licensed capacity for 16 people, folks get more direct attention and help, whether they need assisted living, memory care, dementia care, skilled nursing, or board and care services. The rooms are furnished, and some include kitchenettes, while studio layouts are available for those who want them, and everyone can bring along a pet if they're able to care for it, which gives that extra sense of home for many.
There's always staff present overnight, plus they're trained for wheelchair transfers and emergency evacuations and can help anyone who can't follow directions during a crisis. Residents can get help with daily activities like bathing, grooming, medication, and moving around, and their medical needs get managed right along with coordination from outside healthcare teams. Housekeeping and laundry run like clockwork, which keeps everyone clean and comfortable, and meal planning gets handled by chefs who know how to prepare special diets so people eat nutritious, home-cooked food, served in the dining room or with family-style dining where everyone gathers together.
For people living with Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairments, there's a memory care program with daily mental exercises, scheduled activities, family events, games, and music. The facility's designed so residents feel safe, with secure spaces to prevent confusion and wandering, and caregivers stay nearby at all times, especially in the designated dementia care area. Community life's active, too, with amenities like walking paths, a garden, a beautician, and regular movie nights. Transportation's available for group outings or doctor visits, and the staff organize activities based on residents' interests and abilities, which can include educational events and fun holiday celebrations.
Serenity Gardens has a license from the state of Texas (number 149626) and keeps a 9.4 out of 10 average resident rating, which makes it the second highest rated community in Friendswood right now. The family-centered atmosphere and smaller size let people get to know each other, and the pet-friendly policy adds to the homey feeling, while the staff work hard every day to deliver friendly, respectful care and a supported lifestyle for everyone, whether they're here for assisted living, memory care, or hospice waivers.
