The Heritage of Meyerland

Heritage of Meyerland is a good facility for a fair price. It is exactly what my loved one needs at this time. The room she has in memory care is a perfect size for what she needs. It has a private bathroom in her room, but no shower. But that is the right setup for someone in my moms stage of Alzheimer's.

The Lead nurse director, [name removed}, was wonderful. She has a heart for working with this population and was proactive in noticing when our dad needed escalation in his care. Other staff got to know our loved one quickly and cater to his interests. I liked that this was only a memory care facility. I was surprised that most facilities do not have a bed alarm system to prevent or catch falls given the patient population. We brought our own, but staff had to be trained on it. The staff were good at communicating via text, email or phone depending on our preference.

We liked that it was a dedidicated memory care facility vs a independent facility. There focus was just on memory care. The staff were dedicated to that kind of care. We picked this community because of the convience in location, it was reasonably priced. The lead nurse was also, very on top of things-, and is a great communicator.The food was pretty standard, which was like cafeteria food. It would be nice if they had active monitoring in the rooms of the patients, such as cameras for safety purposes.

They are just wonderful. Everyone seems to enjoy their job, and they are not just there for a paycheck. They work really well with the family. My loved loves the breakfast very well. The price is very good. We picked because, the place smelled wonderful, the residents were sitting in an open area, and seemed to be enjoying themselves/interacting with each other. It reminded me of a big family. They want you to know what's going, to see what's going on and feel invlolved. I would recommend this place.

We're happy so far.

I have been very happy with The Addington and the care they have provided. The personal care they give to their residents is outstanding. They are hands on with their care. The staff respond quickly to the family with any concerns or questions you may have.

Staff is doing an excellent job, they seem very skilled and patient with my mom.

I placed my precious husband in this facility in January 2018 as I felt good about the activities, the staff, and the overall "good vibes" of the place. However, things went down hill quickly. [Name removed] hair was not washed, his teeth were lost and no attempt to find them. My girlfriend [Name removed] also went in about the same time and situation was even more severe than my own. She ended up dehydrated and in ICU for over a week. Her husband moved her immediately after that. I didn't; I liked the staff....those I could find. But when I missed two days and came in with [Name removed] diaper not having been changed for two days and his genitals raw, I decided to move him. I didn't; the staff talked me into keeping him there. He was seldom bathed - once it was five days before I got upset with them; the next time was six days and I just took him home and bathed him myself. They "claimed" he was unmanageable and sent him for 3 weeks to a psych ward to get stronger drugs . He returned a zombie, stayed in this state everyday but then they started double diapering him so they wouldn't have to change him as often. By the middle of June I had had it with the lack of proper hygiene and wanted him in another facility before I went to a Family Reunion in Wyoming. Because of the difficulty of getting all the paper work in before I left, the new place agreed to send two caregivers over to Autumn Leaves each day to make sure he was in good shape and bathed. They found him delightful and although he didn't want to be cleaned, the two could do it - not six as Autumn Leaves said it would take. But during my trip, I got a call and the caregivers told me to get him out of there; they could NOT believe how poorly treated he was. I rushed home and moved him on June 28th. Since the move, it's a different [Name removed] ; he's clean, he's not over drugged, he's loved and there are caregivers everywhere when I need to talk with someone. It has been the difference between night and day. If your loved one is early to mid stage in dementia, Autumn Leaves may be fine. If your loved one can bathe themselves, dress, etc. then the list of activities will work for them. However, if your loved one is more serious in the dementia. DO NOT SEND THEM HERE!!!! I have seen two people go down hill quickly and my girlfriend will never recover from her month's stay in Autumn Leaves. My husband [Name removed] is so much better at the new place.

This community is strictly a memory care unit. It isn’t as nice as other places when it comes to amenities and it isn’t in the best part of town. However, we felt comfortable here. The price is better at this facility and the communication is great. If my Father-In-Law cannot get into another place, this is our runner-up. I would recommend other families to tour this facility.

We liked this facility a great deal and are looking into arranging for Mom to move in here. While we were there, we observed considerable interaction between residents and staff, and were impressed with the layout and design. [Removed], the manger with whom we talked, was very personable and helpful.

My mother is well here in this community. She receiving great care, and everyone has been very kind. I know she is safe, and in great hand in this facility. She is pleased with the meals, and they provide great activities for the residents. Everything has worked out very well.

The care of this community. The staff is caring. I like knowing that she is in a very clean community that she seems to enjoy. The menu is appealing to her with a good variety. They offer her to participate in activiites with the other residents. we would highly recommend that care at this comuunuty for other families for good care and value for a loved one

My mom is doing fine, she has been living here for many weeks. The staff are doing good with her care and the communication with me. I picked this one because they had memory care and the facility looked good. The residents looked good and the price was good. This was close in distance to my house. I would recommend this community to family and friends.

This is the nice community. The community is nice and very clean. He seems to like the meals. This community has been amazing and has everything we have wanted for his care. They do offer a lot of good activities for the residents who want to participate. We highly recommend this care and value to other families.

We have been associated with this place since 10/12/16. [Removed] is still out on it overall. Heath people are good and caring, but management and activities people are weak and need to get better soon. Need to get more value for what we are shelling out in $$$............

We are early on in the game and overall it is good, but activities have been lacking. Healthcare people have been very good and concerned about mama's well being. Hoping it gets better and she is comfortable.

Overall our experience with Autumn Leaves of Meyerland has been a good one. It's a nice looking, clean, well kept community, and I think the care they provide to the residents is very good. For the most part the staff is friendly and professional, although I do think the head nurse could be a bit more personable.

This is a new and immaculate facility. The staff is very friendly and attentive to the residents. The price is on the higher end of places that we looked at, but it is also a memory care facility and many of the residents need help eating, bathing, dressing, and toileting, so they do have a high ratio of staff. Whenever I have been there, the activities person is always very busy keeping residents engaged in games and music, and there is always plenty of staff available to help residents and monitor them. I recommend this facility.
