Medium-capacity home · Offers a balance of services and community atmosphere.
The Abbey at Westminster Plaza
The Abbey at Westminster Plaza is in Houston’s Westside neighborhood, at 2855 Westminster Plaza Dr. The 100-bed mid-rise is operated by Founder’s Commercial, Ltd, with Jenifer Knight as administrator. Apartment options are one- and two-bedroom. Walk Score 61 puts the area in a moderately walkable range where some errands work on foot, but most still need a car.
Memory care here isn’t just a wing designation. The community holds an Alzheimer’s certification with 30 dedicated units, which matters for families who need a placement that’s built around cognitive care, not one that added a memory floor as an afterthought. Licensed nurses and CNAs are on-site, and transportation and fitness programming are part of the services mix.
The physical amenities are the other thing worth paying attention to. A HydroWorx indoor aquatic therapy pool, a wellness center, an on-site salon and barbershop, a movie theater, a sports lounge, and walking paths are all confirmed. Chef-prepared meals are served in the dining room. The starting price is $3,895 per month.
State inspections have tended to focus on fire-safety systems, emergency preparedness, care planning and documentation, and housekeeping and upkeep.
With a full amenity set, a certified memory care program, and both assisted and independent living on-site, The Abbey at Westminster Plaza is built for older adults who want options and room to stay put as their needs change.
