The Heritage at Eldridge Parkway is a senior living community that focuses on memory care and assisted living, and you'll find they've set up different living options which include studio, one-bedroom, and semi-private rooms, with rough prices running about $5,600 for a studio and $6,000 for a one-bedroom, and the place is centered around people dealing with memory challenges like Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. The community's got a separate building made just for memory care and they keep the property secure, using things like alarm bracelets to help prevent wandering, and they have staff on hand all day and night, every day of the week, to deal with residents' needs, including those prone to wandering, exit seeking, physical behaviors, or who are at risk of elopement.
The community provides different levels of care, where some folks get lighter help and others might need more such as assistance with bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and with meals, and they've got staff who are trained to nudge, cue, or supervise when needed, for anything from toileting reminders and incontinence care to setting up insulin injections and managing blood sugars for diabetes. Residents can stay even as their needs change, since the place supports aging-in-place and offers respite stays or hospice services if someone's nearing the end of life.
Meals are a key part here, and they offer a range of food choices, serving both kosher and vegetarian options, making adjustments for people needing low or no sodium or sugar, while offering both restaurant-style dining and room service, and folks can have snacks and guest meals, with an option for private dining or international cuisine. The building's designed for comfort, with indoor and outdoor common spaces, accessible showers, and private tubs, and a beautician comes in for those who want a haircut or styling.
The Heritage gives residents plenty to do, with activities like chair yoga, stretching, art projects, cooking, gardening, karaoke, trips out in the community, parties, and trivia, and there are pet-centered programs and the chance for residents to keep a dog or cat if they want. Devotional and religious services happen on-site for those who value spiritual life, and transport can take residents where they need to go for appointments or outings.
For families and residents facing changes, staff provide support during transitions, and each resident has a care plan set up for their personal needs, plus there's a nurse on staff and a doctor who's on call if medical issues pop up. The staff get special memory care training to better help those with confusion, memory loss, or behaviors that aren't always easy to manage, and the community is part of West Houston Memory Care LLC, which means they really focus on supporting people living with memory challenges. Residents seem to settle well and get involved in the activities, saying the place feels comfortable and almost homelike, and the team works to take care of daily chores so residents can spend their time enjoying activities and social time. The whole setup is Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity, and folks interested can schedule a tour or ask for more information without feeling rushed or pressured.
