Clayton Oaks Living sits at 21175 Southwest Freeway in Richmond, Texas, and offers a mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and short-term respite care all under one roof, so you don't have to move if care needs change, and there are 98 apartment-style units to choose from, including studio and one-bedroom options, most with walk-in showers, safety rails, private bathrooms, and easy-to-use thermostats. This community has staff awake and available 24/7, including nurses, trained caregivers, and care managers who help families understand their options, laying out pricing and answering questions without a fee since community partners fund their advisor services only when someone moves in, and there's also a review system with ratings and comments from current and past families, so you can see what people really think.
The team includes a full-time activity director and offers chef-prepared meals with different dining options like restaurant-style seating, private dining for family visits, and even anytime dining, plus special diet meals for folks needing low-sodium, no-sugar, or even vegan food, while meal guests are welcome, and there are frequent shopping trips to stores like H-E-B, Randalls, and restaurants nearby, and they'll run transportation to medical appointments too. Apartments come with features like wood-style flooring, large windows, high ceilings, wooden blinds, and energy-saving appliances, while the whole community is pet-friendly with an onsite dog park and pet-washing station, and they help residents care for their pets, whether it's a dog or cat.
For care, the staff offer help with daily living, such as grooming, bathing, mobility, hygiene, nutrition, toileting, and transfer assistance, including lifts if needed, plus there's diabetes monitoring, incontinence care, and behavioral support for residents dealing with memory or mental health concerns, though they don't handle insulin injections or sliding scale therapy directly. The memory care area is in a separate secure building with dementia-specific features like alarm bracelets and secured doors, which helps keep residents safe if they're prone to wandering or showing hard-to-manage behaviors, and the staff can care for residents with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, with programs, activities, and social spaces designed to bring comfort and safety.
Residents can join daily fitness and stretching classes, Tai Chi, yoga, and brain fitness sessions, or go outside to the gardens, courtyards, and shaded seating areas, with indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing and relaxing. There are art sessions, devotional services, community service activities, intergenerational events, gardening, and group outings for those who want to stay busy and connected. Housekeeping, linen, laundry, and scheduled transportation are standard, and there's an emergency response system and nurse on call, so folks have support when something goes wrong.
Clayton Oaks Living supports aging in place and fosters a family-like feel, and you'll notice people greet each other by name in the halls or while dining or taking part in activities. Pricing and availability details are given up front, the team can talk folks through care choices as needs change, and they'll give honest, personalized guidance, offering comfort and privacy with the right balance of independence and care. There's been recognition for quality in care over the years, including high ratings and awards, and the community keeps improving by listening to families and using suggestions to inform what comes next for residents.
