Treemont: Place those you love in the hands of those who care

Oftentimes, one delays choosing a senior living community because it is an uncomfortable decision, fraught with guilt and confusion.

More immediate decisions are forced when a loved one’s health needs require assisted living or skilled nursing or rehabilitation.

Choosing an independent living or retirement community is often delayed because change can be scary and often involves moving out of the home where one has resided for 50-plus years.

“My adult kids wanted me to move to a senior community because they felt I’d be safer with more people around and social activities to do,” said Jean from Treemont. “I resisted moving and can now say that I am happy to have

made new friends — and only wish I had made the move sooner.”

While there are many factors in choosing a retirement

community, Treemont’s executive director Rodney Brooks said, “Place those you love in the hands of those who care. Many of

our team members have been with us for decades — up to 40 years even. These caring individuals are how we provide an ‘exceptional’ experience for the seniors in our community, and they are the core reason why Treemont consistently ranks (high) for senior living communities in greater Houston.”

Treemont Retirement Community has won the following:

• Best of the Best Assisted Living in the Houston Chronicle;

• Top 3 Best Assisted Living in Houston by ThreeBestRated Houston, TX;

• Best of Senior Living by SeniorAdvisor.com;

• Best Retirement Community, Treemont Health Care Center by Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards; and

• Best Therapy Staff, Treemont Health Care Center, by Senior Resource Guide.

Treemont is something special. It was one of the first Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) locations in Houston that has been serving multiple generations of Houstonians for 47 years.

Treemont is a solution for many seniors to remain active and engaged.

Senior living also provides peace of mind for adult children that their parents have the extra support to remain independent. With people around, transport to doctors, housekeeping and meals, retirement communities can reset an adult child’s role from a caregiver relationship back to spending quality time together. Check out the multiple living options on the Treemont campus to find the best senior solution.
