Learn More About Care Homes in Cypress, TX

 

Cypress, often called “Cy-Fair,” has been steadily growing since the 1980s when planned subdivisions began popping up, and those family-oriented neighborhoods are at the heart of what makes Cypress a sought-after destination for residents of all ages.

Residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.

A suburban, unincorporated community 24 miles northwest of Houston, Cypress was mostly farmland until the late 1980s when planned residential subdivisions began popping up. Cypress eventually became known locally as “Cy-Fair” after merging with neighboring Fairbanks in the 1930s and becoming the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, which is now the third-largest in all of Texas.

While the Cy-Fair area is home to several golf clubs — including Cypress Lakes, BlackHorse, and Longwood — its many family-oriented neighborhoods are at the heart of what makes Cypress a sought-after destination for residents of all ages. Towne Lake, for example, is a master-planned community with a 300-acre lake as its centerpiece that’s surrounded by marinas, pools, tennis courts, playgrounds, and other amenities. The Boardwalk at Towne Lake is a popular waterfront dining and shopping area for community members and visitors alike.
