The Village of Tanglewood sits in Houston at 1600 Augusta Blvd. and has been around since 2006, focusing on independent living for seniors who want community but can still handle most things on their own, and folks will find 188 units in a mid-rise building with both 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom floor plans, some even have studies, washers and dryers, and full kitchens with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, and there's the emergency call system if someone needs help. Residents can bring their pets, though smoking isn't allowed indoors, and the staff works around the clock, always ready to give a hand when it's needed.
People who don't want to worry about chores get help with housekeeping, maintenance, and even complimentary transportation, and the resort-style setup has a heated indoor swimming pool, a fitness center, a hot tub, outdoor spaces to walk or sit, a café for morning coffee, and a courtyard for grilling or just relaxing. There's a full-service hair salon and barbershop right on site, and the dining room has restaurant-style service with vegetarian options. Folks can join yoga classes, walking clubs, book groups, cooking demos, classes for learning new things, off-campus outings, and film nights or other gatherings in the community room, which makes it easy to get to know neighbors and spend time together.
For those who start needing more help, there are assisted living apartments for care with daily activities, and a special memory care area for residents living with dementia, plus there's hospice and respite care available, and skilled nursing for people who need it. While the place is mostly focused on independent, active adults over 55, the community keeps a family-like, friendly atmosphere-residents often say there's a real sense of belonging, and caregivers can stay involved.
The apartments are spacious and have big windows, walk-in showers, and nice finishes, so someone can feel at home without worrying about keeping everything up. There's always something to do, and the staff pays attention to personal needs, aiming to make sure everyone's comfortable-there's a stated focus on expanding the enjoyment of aging and making sure care is accessible. The Village of Tanglewood gives easy access to the Galleria shopping area and nearby restaurants in Houston, and it's a recognized name for senior living. The overall feel is upscale but still welcoming, with a vibrant group of residents and plenty of chances to join in or relax alone.
