The Medallion Jewish Assisted Living sits right next to Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care Services at 6262 N Braeswood Blvd in Houston, and it's got this gentle, quiet campus feel with beautiful courtyards and a lot of natural light inside the common rooms where residents can gather, have a chat, or just relax and read. They have 52 private apartments, each set up to feel comfortable and homey, and they've got cozy studios, one and two-bedroom units, and even deluxe suites, all with granite countertops, microwaves, and refrigerators so folks can keep things just as they like them. Meals get prepared daily with the option for kosher dining and personal choices, and people don't have to bother with cooking or dishes since the staff handle that, including making sure there are vegetarian and kosher options to respect people's needs.
The place is not too large or noisy, so it feels easy to find quiet or company when you want it, and with friendly staff available and awake 24-hours a day, you can get help if you need to get up, move to a wheelchair, or just need a hand with everyday tasks like bathing, grooming, dressing, or remembering to take medicine. Residents who have diabetes get some help keeping an eye on their blood sugar, and there's standby assistance for those who need a little support moving around, though everyone has to manage their own incontinence care. Folks have to be at least 55 years old to make The Medallion their home, and the community welcomes people of all faiths, though you'll notice plenty of Jewish cultural events and observance of holidays, with chaplains available for spiritual support and even devotional services offsite for those interested.
The Medallion offers a strong program of activities-there's always something going, from art, music, and exercise to lots of social gatherings, games, and trips out, and the library, media room, beauty salon, and wellness center make sure there's always somewhere to pass the time, visit with neighbors, or just enjoy a bit of peace. Residents can bring their own furniture to personalize their suites, and the community tries to make it feel as close to home as possible, so there's lots of encouragement for friendships and personal choice. Scheduled transportation makes it easier for people to get to appointments or group outings, and the staff include trained nurses, visiting physicians, physical therapists, and teams who help with memory support and personal care.
The Medallion also provides long-term care and skilled nursing nearby through its connection to Seven Acres, so residents can get more support if their needs change. It's a non-profit, non-sectarian facility, welcoming people regardless of their background or financial situation, and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay. Folks in the community get help making care decisions, and the place is set up to keep everyone safe and as independent as possible, with a warm, open atmosphere where people can share traditions, memories, and regular moments together.
