Loving Care Cottages Assisted Living sits in a quiet Houston neighborhood, housed in refurbished homes that feel warm and home-like with a classic red brick look and neutral colors, which makes things comfortable for folks who like a more familiar setting. This family-owned facility, managed by Profira Tanase and her family, chooses a smaller scale with a maximum of 16 residents, which means seniors get more personal care and staff have time to pay attention to individual needs, and they've been doing this for over 35 years now, so you can expect experienced hands in charge. The cottages are licensed and certified by Harris County and the State of Texas, and the care covers both assisted living and memory care, including services for people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, with a secure lock-down system in place to help keep everyone safe.
Residents stay in private or semi-private rooms, each one wired for cable TV, and can bring some pets along, which means there's a little more comfort and normal life. The staff, including a retired registered nurse, are there round the clock, helping with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, incontinence care, and medication management. Meal times feature home-cooked, nutritious foods and snacks, with special meal requests possible, and everyone eats together in community dining areas if they want, which helps folks stay social. There's an on-site pharmacy, a nurse available, and skilled nursing care for those that need it, as well as physical therapy and rehabilitation provided by licensed professionals. The facility takes insurance and assists with VA benefits, which can help families manage the costs, and a simple, all-inclusive pricing structure keeps things clear.
The cottages encourage a busy social life, with activities like game nights, story time, music therapy from a resident music group, book clubs, arts and crafts in their own area, and group celebrations for birthdays and holidays, and there are lectures and other educational programs now and then. There are also plant and pet therapy sessions, plus religious services for those who wish to attend. Shared spaces come with common area TVs, free high-speed WiFi, and places to chat or take part in group activities. Caregivers focus on getting to know each person, with daily personal interaction and help keeping routines, and they tailor activities to residents' interests and abilities to help everyone keep their minds active.
On-site, residents have haircuts, barber services, and private cleaning available, and linens get laundered regularly. Parking's set aside for guests, and there's transportation to events, stores, doctor's appointments, or other needs, which makes running errands less of a worry. For folks who need extra help or supervision, personal aides and companion care are provided, as well as support for mental health, medication and incontinence management, and hospice services when the time comes. The homes have a safe, secure design but remain inviting, with cottage-style features and comfortable furnishings that make it easier to feel at home. Loving Care Cottages Assisted Living aims for a small, close-knit community where every senior can get the attention and specialized care they need in a setting that feels more like a family home.
