The Watermark at Houston Heights – Memory Care is dedicated exclusively to residents who need memory-related support. The community is equipped to manage common dementia-related risks, including daytime and nighttime wandering, elopement attempts, combative or other behavioral issues, and residents who are frequently awake overnight. Staff members are trained to care for individuals with advanced dementia as well as younger residents under age 60 who require similar services. Clinical oversight extends to oxygen management and diabetic residents who use oral medications, ensuring medical routines stay consistent and safe.
Around-the-clock nursing coverage includes an on-site RN/LPN team supported by a 24-hour nurse on call, regular background-checked staff, and an awake night shift for continuous observation. Medical services are broad: visiting podiatry and dental providers, a therapy room for rehabilitation, full medication management, and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Assistance with all activities of daily living is available, including full help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer options range from standby guidance to one- or two-person transfers, and the community can accommodate walkers and wheelchairs. Door alarms and 24-hour security staff add another layer of protection.
Residences vary, but many include private bathrooms, individual climate controls, and cable service. Families may add personal touches such as paint or décor. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, though not every room has every feature, so it is best to confirm specific layouts during a tour.
Dining follows a set menu with dietitian oversight for gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, puréed, and thickened-liquid needs. Snacks are available throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or celebrations. Staff monitor intake for residents who require full assistance with meals.
Amenities on the campus include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, pool, communal gardens, and internet access. On-site religious services, concierge support, flexible lease terms, scheduled transportation, and a TowneCar service round out daily conveniences. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
