Cullen Residence Hall, also called The Center Houston, sits about 2.6 miles outside Houston, Texas at 810 Marston Dr. The place has room for 34 residents, so it feels more personal than large facilities, and people can choose from different living options like studio suites, one-bedroom units, shared, semi-private, or private rooms, many of which come furnished with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air-conditioning, flat screen TV, phone, and internet. Staff are there all day and night to help with daily activities, medication management, bathing, moving around, dressing, incontinence, and even spoon feeding when needed, plus there's a 24-hour call system for extra safety and on-call support nearby. Meals use organic ingredients, with chef-prepared food served all day in a restaurant-style dining room, and they offer special diets, a dementia-friendly menu, and will even tailor service for folks with diabetes or Parkinson's.
The place gives you things like housekeeping, linen and private laundry service, cable TV, transportation to doctor's visits, appointment rides, scheduled trips, and maintenance-free living, so nobody needs to worry about chores or home repairs. Residents get health monitoring by on-site nurses and pharmacy services, plus there's help with medication, and regular personal service assessments to make sure needs are met. The community provides daily activities, art rooms, movie nights, devotional groups, walking paths, a fitness section, wellness center, greenhouse, cafe, barber or salon, and both on-site and offsite things to do, with some activities even run by other residents.
For comfort, the building offers both indoor and outdoor common areas, emergency alerts, air conditioning, good furnishings, and plenty of parking. People who need help because of Alzheimer's or non-ambulatory issues, or who struggle with incontinence, get the care they need, and the place has a licensed RN on staff. They accept people needing respite stays for short-term care, too. The community has a 3.8 score for satisfaction and quality, reflecting its efforts to keep a safe, supportive, social, and active place for seniors who value their independence but still need help each day. Though called a residence hall, it serves older adults, but it does mention also preparing for students. Overall, Cullen Residence Hall offers a mix of comfort, care, and daily support without being too large or overwhelming.
