Brookdale Clear Lake sits in Clear Lake City, two blocks from Clear Lake Hospital and close to shopping, restaurants, the Johnson Space Center, and the Clear Lake recreational area, inside a gated community. The place has four landscaped courtyards with a swimming pool, a hot tub, a putting green, a rose garden, a koi pond, and a waterfall, plus a dog park for people with pets-they can have up to two cats or dogs, each no heavier than 25 pounds, with a non-refundable pet fee. The apartments come in 10 different floor plans, with one-, two-, or three-bedroom setups, and some have extra rooms and larger spaces, full kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite or stone countertops, dining areas, walk-in closets, built-in bookshelves, pantries, mini blinds, and extra storage. Apartments include water, cable, gas, and electricity in the rent. People can pick short-term leases if that works better.
For meals, residents get restaurant-style dining, with breakfast and a five-course lunch served in a formal dining room, plus options for room or communal dining, guest meals, and choices for nutrition needs, all cooked with care. The staff helps with cooking, housekeeping, laundry, and even has a beauty salon, barber shop, library, movie theater, lounge, fitness room, gym, computer room, and an entertainment space for social gatherings or movies. Residents can join events and activities like Forever Fit, Sit and Fit, monthly dinner outings, or trips to local theaters and concerts. Daily meetings, exercise programs, and clubroom events encourage people to stay active and connected.
Brookdale Clear Lake provides transportation, has guest and overnight parking, and keeps the place safe with access gates and a 24-hour emergency call system. Staff are present any time of day or night, including skilled nurses if needed. The facility offers independent living for active people, assisted living when more help is needed, and memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia-each area has special staff and features to fit residents' needs, like assistants for bathing, dressing, and medication, along with safety measures to limit wandering and confusion. There's on-site therapy, medication reminders, rehabilitation, health and wellness programs, and home care services for those who want to age in place with a companion or aide visiting. The community emphasizes living well, supporting independence at every life stage, and giving people the chance to be around others with similar experiences, with lots of opportunities for wisdom and new friendships. Brookdale Clear Lake, built in 2000 and managed by Brookdale Senior Living, keeps long-term staff who know their residents and maintain the community's good reputation, and visitors can schedule tours to see daily life, dining, and amenities in person.
