Morada Friendswood

Our experience with the Memory Care Unit at Morada Friendswood was very positive. Their policies for dealing with accidents were excellent. The staff was competent and caring. The administrating staff was readily available to the residents and their families. Bottom line, I would recommend this facility without reservation.

The staff was changing . Mom was happy with the food. She participated in Bingo. It was the nicest place that we found, when looking. Mom was happy. Overall, we were pretty happy with the facility.

My mom has been living at Morada for 3 years. The employees are kind and encouraging to her as she faces increasing confusion with dementia. The activity director is wonderful to plan theme parties and plan daily activities to keep the residents engaged. It’s a relief to our family to know she is loved and safe during the times we are not with her. [name removed]

When we were first looking for a place for our loved one, the director was extremely kind and understood our need to move quickly. She was very good at explaining all of the paperwork and getting us into a room in a very short period of time, during the holidays no less. The care staff, particularly the medical staff, has been very detail-oriented. My loved one takes a lot of medications, and they have been able to take management of all of her meds off our hands, which has been a huge relief. The staff have all been very kind as well. The common areas are always very clean, and any time you walk around, you always see someone from housekeeping up and about. Everything just seems to be very neat and well kept.

It's a good place to put your Mom. They are very friendly and welcoming. They let you know when you need to know something.

We chose Morada Friendswood because of the location, the size of her room was large (she was able to fit all of her antique furniture), and it was beautiful. Her room does not have a kitchen but they did give us a refrigerator and microwave. They do charge extra for memory care medications and for help with bathing, so it did increase the price. I have recommend them to several families, the facility is very clean, the people here seem well taken care of, and the staff really care about their residents. I feel that my mom is safe here and she has made a lot of friends which has helped her a lot.

I would tell others to look at the community. They are the best value for the dollar. I have shopped several times for other family members. There are a couple of staff members who are functioning illetrate and they are not easy to deal with. Their meals are not diabetic friendly and they don't have any diabetic meal options to my knowledge. The overall appearance is very appealing, and it is in a great town. I think COVID has impacted services, staff, and overall performance.

I'm not able to go inside due to the pandemic, but I can pick up my loved ones to take them to lunch, and they seem to look good and well cared for. They are very happy here. From what I did see upon moving them in, the facility is so inviting. All the rooms are on two sides of a huge hallway that's more like an atrium or a street. When you walk outside your room, you feel like you're in a mall. There are chairs outside the rooms to sit and visit. It's wonderful. I'm really happy with the environment they're in. The room is a really nice size. The staff is really friendly and helpful. They’ve worked with me to have Facetime with my loved ones, they’ll go plug in a phone battery if I ask, they always go check when I ask if my loved ones need supplies. They’re very responsive to my requests. They bring doctors/dentists/PTs on site, and they use Omnicare so you don’t have to worry about prescriptions. This is a great place - I have and will continue to recommend to anyone and everyone!

More affordable. We liked the community areas, but the rooms seemed small and I wasn't impressed with the kitchenette rooms.

This community is very welcoming and the care services were good. The meals and dining were great before covid, but our loved one started to dislike the meals when they were having to be delivered to their rooms. Once covid came around the people we were comfortable with had left. It was a nice community, just very expensive and our loved ones room was small for the price we were paying.

The staff are very caring and they have taken very good of my dad. My dad is a difficult patient because of his dementia but they have cared for him. The staff are very good at facetiming with us so we can see each other. The communication is good. We chose this community because of its location and its reputation. I would absolutely recommend this community to other families. We have gotten to know the staff on a personal level and they treat our family like their own family.

Seems nice, but we would like a bigger unit more like a 1 bedroom with a study

My overall impression of this facility looks more like a nursing home. It seemed a bit older and it was a lot more expensive. I have had a very good personal experience overall during our appointment visiting with them. I have a friend over there as well who has a loved one in the facility. They tell me that everything is going well for them.

Won’t take person that needs nursing home level of care.

We will be moving my father in law to another community, because he is not happy here. However it is not the community we have a problem with, it just was not the right fit for him. They have a friendly staff, and they do a good job with the cleanliness around the community. It is a nice community with kind people. We will be moving him to closer location to us, and hopefully that will help the transition easier.

We toured Brookdale Friendswood and I also knew someone that was in the memory care section. I thought the memory care rooms were nice. I didn't care too much for the setup in the assisted living side. It wasn't the bright and open atmosphere we were looking for. It seemed to have an institutional feel. It wasn't the right fit for our loved one.
