Very nice place. Location is not convenient for us.

This was an absolute beautiful place. Would be like living in a resort - however that is why it would not be fit for mom and dad. For them the smaller the better.

My sister was checking it out, but it was a high rise, wouldn't work.

The Village (with Lachelle Gentry) was very new, modern and sophisticated, definitely does not look like a senior living community. I would like to live here myself. This gorgeous multilevel 8 story complex on the waterway is in a very popular area here in The Woodlands. And because it's a popular area the shopping complexes, including grocery stores are packed with limited parking available. Good thing there is a local trolley that stops by every hour for their residents. On site the visitor parking availability is zero due to lot line restrictions (they are working on other options) so they not only have problems with visitor parking but employee parking as well. The interior had extremely wide open hallways, high end lighting with windows at the end of each hall so it doesn't seem so closed in. The kitchens were about the same size as The Forum but with higher ceilings and a more open floor plan. Included are a washer/dryer in the room. Their social areas were big and the exterior balconies were spacious over looking the most beautiful views of local festivals and athletic competitions. Definitely a place to be for an active senior or even a not so active senior. Their Independent Living started from $3600(631sf)-$4500; Assisted Living $4800+ and Memory care $6000+ . They have a life alert style pendant and motion sensors for assisted living. A doctor visits once a week, nursing staff 7am-7pm and medcare through the night. Enrollment fee $3500.

It was a fine community. My apartment was fine. Everything is clean. The food was not the greatest. They could have done with some better employees – one of whom would be the food manager. He wasn’t qualified to be a food manager.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for my loved one. This was a nice enough looking community. The staff we met were all friendly and it seemed well run. We didn't quite like the feel of this community, however. It didn't have an atmosphere we felt my loved one would be comfortable in, it felt too clinical.

Energetic residents, highest on list so far.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. This was a nice looking place, and it was definitely somewhere we would have considered. The staff we met on the tour were friendly and professional, and the facility itself seemed clean. However it wasn't at the top of our list, and wasn't the community we ended up selecting.

Mom, Doug, and Dee got a quick look 03/16/14.

My loved ones were at this community for a time, before a change in care needs necessitated a move. This is a very nice community for independent living, or for those who only need a small amount of assistance. It's a beautiful place, and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, once my parents started needing more help we had to start contracting with an outside service the facility uses for those with higher care needs, which ended up being very expensive. We eventually decided to move them somewhere more focused on assisted living, and closer to family.

Visited 3/4. Good potential. Duplex option. Costs at top of range, however.

This is a nice community overall, it is a beautiful place and the staff are all very friendly. They do a good job of keeping it up, and it is always clean. The only major issue we had was right when my parents moved in, I feel like the staff could have been a bit more sensitive to my parents moods and done a better job of easing them in to their new situation. They were trying to be friendly and integrate them into the community, but after having lived in a private residence for so many years my parents were overwhelmed by all the people coming to the door to welcome them and try to get them to participate in activities. I know they did it with the best of intentions, but it was a little much my parents right off of the bat.

I'm very happy with them. The food is a three. I would like to have the dress code changed for meals, the men have to wear suit jackets for the evening meal. I chose them for their friendliness, and the feeling of comfort and relaxation. I liked the size and layout of the apartment, and the security systems that are in place. The diversity of age groups is also nice, they seem to have a wider range of ages than others and more men here too.

It just wasn't set up for my mom - no memory care there. We had to get almost 24 hour care in addition to the assisted living, which was out of hand cost wise. I realized that Dad wanted to live a little closer to me, so we decided to move. It was very nice, nothing negative to say, just wasn't set up for my mom. The folks were very nice.

It is a beautiful location, right there there by the Mayo Clinic. A lot of people would pay just for that convenience. It's beautiful, but a little overpriced because the units are pretty small. My dad didn't like that. It is all in a 7 story tower, like a tower or something that you would see in the middle of a city. No surrounding grounds per se, and you have to ride elevators to get to each floor.

I found the staff helpful and efficient. Since my mother has memory lapses, however, the support literature could be more specific and sequential for her use. She also does not like the telephone system. Over all, my mother seems quite pleased with the facilities, and especially the staff at Bellingham.

The Glenview is a very nice CCRC located in Pelican Bay. The residents and staff appear friendly and welcoming. The community is nicely decorated and is always clean and well maintained. Unlike most CCRCs, the Glenview is a co-op that offers a percentage of equity when the residence is sold. It is a bit pricey, but does offer good value for those who can afford it.

This is a beautiful facility but it's much too large of a community for my mom. She wouldn't be able to get around very well.

Visited. Very beautiful. The Independent living would not work, as the waterway is right outside, and many places to walk to right out the door. Don't think the highrise would be a good fit for Dad.

They served alcohol with meals and I'm glad that she told me and she was upfront about it because my uncle did not need to be there. It was also quite pricey, it has a reputation for being more upscale over and above the others also.
