Sterling Oaks Assisted Living Memory Care in Friendswood, TX, is dedicated exclusively to memory care. Residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia live in a secured setting where staff trained in cognitive support techniques provide round-the-clock supervision, redirection, and assistance with daily activities. Programs are designed to promote familiarity, reduce confusion, and maintain engagement, and care plans are individualized to each resident’s cognitive and functional status.
Medical support extends to respite or short-term stays for families who need temporary care solutions, as well as structured diabetes management that includes regular blood-glucose monitoring, medication administration, and diet coordination. Licensed nurses oversee medication, coordinate with outside physicians, arrange lab work or therapy services as ordered, and monitor overall health changes. Staff members are on site at all times, and an emergency call system links residents directly to caregivers for prompt response.
Private and companion suites are offered, and while layouts vary, many include wheelchair-accessible showers and cable or satellite TV. Select apartments may feature Wi-Fi access, and common areas such as the library, computer center, TV lounge, central fireplace living room, outdoor patio, piano area, and landscaped grounds give residents a choice of places to relax. Cats are welcome in designated apartments, though not every unit allows pets.
Meals are prepared on site, and the culinary team delivers three daily menus plus snacks that can be adapted to vegan, vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free, low-sodium, no-sugar, or other physician-ordered diets. Anytime dining allows residents to eat on their preferred schedule, and room service or guest meals can be arranged. Seasonal barbecues and holiday picnics are held in the courtyard when weather permits, and special dining programs encourage socialization while supporting individual nutritional goals.
Residents have access to an arts and crafts studio, raised garden beds, a game room, and scheduled live-music sessions that complement on-site reminiscence and sensory-based programs. The activities team organizes birthday and holiday parties, and supervised outings provide opportunities to visit local attractions.
