Rosemont at Clearlake Community Testimonials

Community Testimonials

I am a professional in the area and have referred clients to Rosemont at Clearlake, which is an assisted-living senior living community.

The major strength of this community, it seems, is the range of care offered. A resident can receive basic care (with daily living task) and/or specialized care (for memory-related condition) and/or increased care (via personalized assistance plans). Also, the staff seemed caring & involved.

It appears this facility provides excellent services & care to clients needing various levels of assistance with daily living.

The first impression when you walk in the front door of The Rosemont is how nicely decorated it is. Almost like walking into a nice hotel. The second impression is that this really is a community. Residents are all over the facilty and the grounds engaged in various activities. Some are sitting in the various parlor like areas in small groups, talking and playing games. Others are sitting outside in the back of the building in the park-like area, that overlooks a city park. Also, there always seem to be groups coming and going, to various activities, on the commmunity's bus.

We were considering putting our aging grandfather in a home as we can no longer give him the care he needs. He requires twenty four hour care and surveillance as he is very ill and as an accelerated form of Alzheimers. We were looking around for places that could care for him when a friend recommended Rosemont at Clearlake. We decided to take a tour of the facilities, and meet with the staff. Everyone was congenial and forthcoming with details about the establishment, and for this I am very grateful. I had some misgiving about putting my father in a home, but I can rest easy knowing that at the very least the people he will be surrounded by care about the elderly. We are still looking around, but Rosemont is at the top of our list. It is just not often that one sees the care needed in an assisted living home, and it is natural to have fears bout possible elder abuse going on in such establishments. However, I feel that Rosemont is a safe place where my father and our children's grandfather can rest in peace and dignity.

This assisted living facility was wonderful during the time my grandfather spent there. The Rosemont is conveniently located in suburban Houston, and is fairly close to an assortment of restaurants, parks, and housing developments. Quite a few friends of mine that live in the area have relative that live at the Rosemont, which of course allows for easy visiting and recreation activities with family and friends. The staff was always extremely friendly and quite helpful. They are more than willing to accommodate residents and their guests. The facility is very well maintained, with spacious rooms, tasteful décor, and an assortment of common areas are to be found. There's a small outdoor courtyard, a spacious carport for easy pick up and drop off, and convenient parking. My grandfather kept his car outside for when he wanted to go run his own errands, or grab a coffee with friends. Overall, my dealings with the staff and time at the Rosemont was more pleasant than other assisted living facilities in the area, and my family would recommend it.

I have been very impressed with Rosemont at Clearlake . My father has been a patient there since Feb of this year, and he requires a high amount of care. I think sometimes people under-estimate the time, care, and patience involved in taking care of the patients. What I see more than anything is lack of family visiting, not lack of care by the staff.

My entire family owes the staff at Clearlake a huge debt. I don't think people realize how hard the staff works just to keep the people comfortable and (mostly) happy. My sister and I cared for my grandfather for a short time before we found a facility for him, so we know how exhausting and thankless the task can be. At Clearlake the staff is always ALWAYS cheerful and helpful - answering our questions directly and taking our concerns seriously. The staff in NY gave the impression they had better things to do or were humoring you in a patronizing way. The level of care was excellent, comparable to Clearlake, but it was hard to feel at ease with people who weren't taking your concerns seriously.I have only two problems with Clearlake. The first is that some of the non-public parts of the facility could be cleaner. Like bathrooms and offices - the parts not every visitor is likely to see. It makes sense to spend the energy on the public face, but it makes me a little uneasy too. The other is that my grandfather does not have mobility issues at all - he can walk all day. He gets some exercise, but not enough. I know it is easiest a safest if he stays indoors - or is confined to the patio - but he really likes to walk around. I think he should be exposed to whatever stimuli he responds to.I was not involved with the intake or payment processes at either facility so I can't talk about that. I also cannot judge the food or kitchen facilities. I should get out there more, really.
