Optimum Personal Care - Sugar Land
5.0 / 5.0

5 on all of the above categories, it has been an excellent experience at Optimum Personal Care - Sugar Land. The facility is very clean and the staff is very Godly, which meant a lot to our family. I absolutely recommend this facility to anybody looking for assisted living.

You guys have been such a god-send. {name removed} was well taken care of and I appreciate everything through the years that you have done for our family.

Greatwood at Sugar Land
3.9 / 5.0

The only bad part is the food. I wish they would please do something about the kitchen. A lot of times the food is cold, and it just looks and tastes disgusting, to the point that I'm having to bring my dad a lot of his meals. The atmosphere in the dining room is mostly assisted living people who are in really bad shape, which can be depressing for him since he's in independent living. He can opt to have food delivered to his room, but then it' s always so cold. He's not really interested in most of the activities. It would be nice if they offered more for people who are in less cognitive decline. But they have a beer tasting coming up soon, and that's the first thing he's ever possibly thought about going to. I believe they have new activities director, and this is one of the first things she put on the schedule. In general, it would be nice if independent and assisted living were more separate. They share all of the common spaces, and while I'm sure that has benefits for those who are in assisted living, it's not ideal for independent living. But the staff is really nice. And his apartment is set up nicely to accommodate mobility issues . The bathroom has a walk in shower with rails. Yet it looks nice and doesn't look like it's for old people. The housekeeping staff are really sweet. My dad really enjoys the woman who comes in and cleans. The staff in general are all very sweet. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing that there's always somebody there that I can call to check on him if I'm ever worried or if he doesn't answer his phone, etc.
