Blue Skies of Texas

Due to budget costs, the Quality of care and service has gone downhill since my mothers 2nd admission to this place. Always a good idea to just drop in and do a welfare check on your loved one day or nights. You'll see a difference in care. (In general with any facility)

What a blessing Blue Skies of Texas is! I have been in independent living for almost three years. The apartment is comfortable, the staff is great, and the food is wonderful... and the price is cheaper than nearly all quality senior living locations. Thank you Blue Skies!

We have recently moved to and have been independent living residents at Blue Skies of Texas East (BSTE) for almost a year. BSTE is a Life Plan Community with a full continuum of care; Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Memory Care, Rehab Services and Hospice Care.This was a big decision that we had been researching and kicking around for several years while trying to make the best choice. After researching/visiting several differing venues (CCRCs, Del Webb, The Villages in Fl., Jimmy Buffet retirement communities, etc.) we settled on BSTE as our forever home. Blue Skies of Texas came out on top because it is both CARF certified and highly rated by Medicare. BSTE is one of only three CARF accredited Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) in the entire state of Texas indicating a very high level certification for care with management looking for continual improvement, which has really shined throughout this unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic.Downsizing appeared challenging until we finally committed to making the move. We decided an estate sale was the best choice for us as it easily eliminated a lot of unnecessary STUFF along with charitable donations because it was time to make new memories! The staff helped make our relocation extremely easy and the move-in amenities ranged from help with unpacking to picture hanging. The interaction between the residents and the staff is an unbelievable plus as all are very caring and friendly. Our neighbors and fellow residents are also extremely friendly, caring and always willing to give a helping hand.One can be as active as desired since the social amenities here are not only envious, but much more fulfilling than our previous lifestyle. As we learned longevity is attributed to 35% genetics and 65% social life, which is indicated by many wonderful BSTE residents. We couldnt have asked for a better place to live because its like a cruise ship on land. We highly recommend this to all seniors looking for a more fulfilling, happier, and secure lifestyle.

My husband and I moved into this community this past summer. We wanted to make this move while we were healthy and able to enjoy all it has to offer. Like the saying says, 'Better 5 years too early than 5 minutes too late'. We have enjoyed the people we have met here. Such an array of interesting backgrounds. The staff is very pleasant to us. The exercise room and pool being so close and accessible has been a big plus for us. There are a large variety of activities to keep you active if interested like: line dancing, water aerobics, yoga, etc. Also, for the mental exercise a nice variety of activities to suit various interests. It has been great to have the freedom to go on trips and not worry about anything at home. It is especially nice to come home after a vacation and not having to face getting caught up on yard and house work.

Do not place your family member here! They allow 'resident associates' to administer medications to the elderly and are not certified to do so! How can someone who doesn't have to graduate from high school be knowledgeable about providing this level of healthcare. Over $5000 a month to provide minimum wage employees to be the only ones attending to them in assisted living? Get a clue. You need to know this! I would give them a zero if possible.
