Watercrest at Kingwood sits in Kingwood, Texas, right next to a peaceful, wooded forest, so you get a nice view and a bit of calm, and the place has been around since 2015. The community has 174 apartments, and folks can choose from studio, one, two, or three-bedroom floor plans, plus private villas with attached garages if somebody wants more room or privacy, and every unit has touches like patios or balconies, crown molding, granite countertops, walk-in closets, and features like walk-in showers and alarm systems, and you don't have to worry about taking care of laundry or trash since there are washers and dryer connections, valet trash service, and trash included with your rent, and the rent also covers cable and water, which takes a few things off your mind. Pets are welcome, dogs and cats, with some rules about breed and size, and there's a dog park to let them run around, though you'll pay a pet fee and a small pet rent every month.
The place covers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and even respite care for short stays or after hospital trips, and they've got staff on hand all day and night to help with what you need, be it getting dressed, bathing, or remembering medicine, and folks can talk to the care team about their needs and get plans made to fit their situation. If you're still pretty active, independent living comes with no home maintenance, no landscaping chores, and no repairs to stress over, and you don't have to worry about cooking either since chef-prepared meals are served restaurant-style, or you can cook in your own kitchen if you want. Memory care is there for those living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, with secure areas and programs to help prevent wandering and lessen confusion, and anyone can take advantage of short-term stays through the respite care program, where guests join in all the activities and get extra support if they're recovering from something or if their caregivers need a break.
The amenities cover a swimming pool and hot tub, a clubhouse where people gather, a wine bar for relaxing, plus a full fitness center and a wellness center with group classes, a movie theater, and a beautician on site. Residents use indoor and outdoor spaces for seeing friends, reading, or simply sitting outside.
