Resident & family reviews
Our family member lived at Emeritus at Friendswood for 10 months. Although it appears to be a very nice place, it is not suitable for someone in need of extensive help and supervision. They do not provide the kind of help that some residents need and do not address issues that arise from this neglect. It is probably just fine for someone in need of basic "assisted living", but for an Alzheimer's patient with greater needs it can be a very dangerous environment. I would not recommend this facility.

My mom resided at Emeritus Friendswood for approximately 2.5 years. The main reason for moving her to an assisted living facility in the first place was for the medication administration as she was unable to keep up with her dosing schedule. On two separate occasions at Emeritus, she went into atrial fibrillation and as it turned out, she had not been receiving her heart medication - not given at all for weeks at a time. No explanation given as to why. There had been numerous other medication opportunities that had I not been in charge of filling the scripts versus Emeritus filling the scripts through their own service, I would not have known there was a problem. Mom has moved to a new facility that has made a world of difference to her quality of life. Timely medication, tasty meals and constant attention to life's details have made for a happy transition to her new home at a greatly reduced financial demand I will add. I would not recommend Emeritus Friendswood on not just the medication blunders but many more which are too numerous to go into detail here.
