Laurel Glen at Sugar Land focuses exclusively on memory care and is equipped to manage a wide range of medical needs common to cognitive decline. Care teams are trained to assist residents who wander at any hour, exhibit elopement risk, become combative, have behavioral issues, or stay up all night. Nurses can work with wound care, oxygen therapy, special diet plans, and both oral and injectable diabetes management. The community accepts residents under 60 and is prepared to support advanced dementia, ensuring continuity of care as conditions progress.
Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on staff, backed by a 24-hour nurse on call. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift monitors residents continuously. Emergency pull cords and personal emergency response systems link directly to on-site personnel, while a fenced outdoor area adds an extra layer of security. Podiatry visits, medication management, and regular nurse-practitioner rounds reduce the need for off-site appointments. Staff provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they accommodate every level of mobility—from standby help with walkers to two-person or Hoyer transfers for bed-bound residents.
Residences include options with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the ability to paint or decorate the space. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided. Not every accommodation contains every listed feature, so it is best to confirm availability during a tour.
Dining centers on a set menu prepared to meet physician-ordered diet plans. Snacks are available throughout the day, and meals can be served in a private dining room or taken in-room when needed. The kitchen supports diet modifications such as mechanical‐chopped, puréed, thickened liquids, vegetarian selections, and other special diets prescribed by a clinician.
Amenities and services include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible design, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, stair glide, concierge desk, library, pool, special-interest clubs, and shuttle service for medical appointments only. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
