Novellus Kingwood sits over on Green Oak Drive in Kingwood, Texas, close to I-69 and not far from HCA Houston Kingwood Medical Center, so getting places is easy. The building's got a traditional, brick look with big columns and a wide porch that's pretty welcoming, and the inside feels bright and peaceful, with open spaces like the activity room, lounge, and lobby for folks to gather or relax. The community offers several types of care, including independent living if you like your freedom but want a bit of help with chores, assisted living for help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, and memory care for adults facing Alzheimer's or other dementias, with safety measures to prevent wandering and reduce confusion. There are also skilled nursing services and even residential care homes for people who need a live-in caregiver, and there's home care support for seniors still at their own place who need company and a bit of assistance.
Apartments come in studio or one-bedroom size, and each has a kitchenette, walk-in closet, and an emergency alert system. The place welcomes pets, though small dogs aren't allowed, and you'll find scheduled transportation to appointments or outings. Residents eat chef-prepared meals three times a day in a restaurant-style dining room, and there's room service for those who need it. People can join lots of activities-social events, crafts, games, music, books, and exercise programs with dedicated wellness spaces and equipment, and there's a movie theater and a beauty salon right on site. Licensed staff provide care around the clock, with a part-time nurse available too, helping with medicines, bathing, and mobility just when it's needed. They know how to help folks move around, get up and about, or handle a wheelchair, and they offer physical therapy and rehabilitation services right there. Special diets, like diabetic or low salt, are available for those who need them, and staff take care of housekeeping, washing linens, and laundry as part of the all-inclusive basic service.
There's a focus on safety and independence, so each person gets a care plan made for what fits them best, and there are extra services for veterans who qualify for VA aid. The activity staff help keep residents busy and connected, working on activities that challenge the mind and body, and there are on-site religious services if folks want them. Community tours and events, like "Tour and Taste," happen so people can learn more about living there. Staff hiring follows reference checks and training in ethics. There's a one-time entry fee, starting base rates for assisted living, and higher base rates for memory care. Novellus Kingwood tries to offer comfort, choices, and the kind of support folks need as they age, letting them stay in the same place even as their needs change.
