Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care Services sits in Houston, Texas, as a not-for-profit, licensed senior living community welcoming people of all faiths and backgrounds, though you'll notice a care for Jewish traditions throughout daily life, with the Medallion Jewish Assisted Living Residence right on campus, giving a boutique-style, peaceful option to those needing that extra bit of help with daily living. Folks living here can choose between independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, and even short-term rehab if they're recovering between hospital and home, all within a single campus that's watched over by a caring team around the clock with a 24-hour call system for emergencies or help with things like bathing, dressing, or medication. Residents can pick from a variety of room setups, whether they want a studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom spot, and there's always laundry, housekeeping, and meal programs-one or two prepared meals a day-ready for those who want a break from cooking and chores. The campus has secure, safe memory care for up to 131 people so families can feel confident their loved ones are looked after and less likely to wander off, and the place feels pleasant and well looked after, with a garden, a jacuzzi, a sauna, and trees making some shade when it's hot.
There's a good bus service, taking residents to doctor visits, shopping, and spiritual gatherings, and activities fill the days, including art, music plans, board games, evening social events, books in the library, animal visits, fitness classes, and creative projects, all meant for keeping minds sharp and bodies moving, whether you're up for a big exercise class or just want to sit with old friends and play a hand of cards. Music and animal therapy come in regularly, and you'd find folks going out on trips now and then, because sometimes nothing beats a simple change of scenery. The facility honors a range of diets, including special meals for high blood pressure or diabetes, and keeps a detailed schedule for meals, medicine, and activities all tailored to fit what each resident needs. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists work both with people staying long-term and those stopping by for rehab, and for folks needing more hands-on care due to frailty, there's help with all the basics-bathing, washing clothes, mobility, even haircuts right on-site if needed.
Nobody rushes you here, and everyone works together, keeping people comfortable and helping them keep their independence however much they can, whether that's by joining in with resident-led activities in the game room, flipping through a new book in the library, or going out to the garden for a bit of sun. Special attention goes to people with Alzheimer's and memory loss, with activities and secure spaces just for them, and hospice and respite care are part of what's offered if health declines. The staff pays close attention to each person's needs, whether for more help in emergencies or just to be sure somebody has a friendly face around. Seven Acres encourages a sense of community, with planned events and chances to socialize, aiming for folks to feel at home and not alone, and the overall feeling is one of honest, consistent care, whether you're staying for a quick rehab or settling in for the longer haul.
