With much to do and cultivated spaces to enjoy, sunny Houston is a fast-growing haven for retirees. At some Houston assisted living locations, you can explore community gardens, cafes, and pools when the days get too hot. And Texas regulations require weekly social programming in assisted living facilities. For delightful social meet-ups, residents can enjoy continuing education workshops, painting classes, barbecues, happy hours, and parties for birthdays and holidays. Over 70% of our partner assisted living facilities within a 10-mile radius of downtown Houston offer on-site exercise classes and social clubs by interest, so there’s always something happening to keep residents active.
Whether you prefer staying in or going out, these assisted living communities rank high for their resident-approved pastimes. Explore these Houston assisted living facilities offering the best activities, according to A Place for Mom’s proprietary recommendation system, which is based on recent, quality reviews and 20 years of expertise in senior living.
