  Life at The Village of River Oaks is a pleasure. As I near my first year here, I can honestly say I can't imagine a happier place to be. Every day is a treat, largely thanks to the incredible VORO team. From the Executive Director and Management to the front desk concierges and the valets, housekeepers, and dining staff, everyone is always cheerful and kind. The community itself is warm and beautiful. I love my apartment, and the public spaces have an elegant, comfortable feel. Sharing chef-prepared meals in the dining room with friends is a highlight of my day. But what truly makes this place special is the residents. I'm surrounded by an active, friendly group of peers—many of whom I now call dear friends—and our Life Enrichment Director keeps our calendar so engaging that there’s always something for everyone to enjoy. We laugh a lot! I love it here!

  I've been a resident in Assisted Living at the Village of River Oaks for over a year. Before I moved here, I had been in and out of hospitals for two years with emergencies. The last visit entailed 50 days in a hospital bed on a powerful IV antibiotic. When I was discharged, I was too weak to walk, prepare meals, or bathe by myself. I needed help - more help than my family could provide. Extensive searching in Houston led us to the Village of River Oaks, and we are forever grateful. I quickly regained my appetite, being offered a wide variety of well-prepared, healthy food. I made it a point to learn where and how the meat and vegetables are sourced. The standards are high enough to meet my own. I got to know the Resident Assistants who tend to us daily and know what we need before we do. (I call them my Resident Angels.) They’re willing to tackle any task and do so pleasantly. I have taken advantage of Physical Therapy (covered by Medicare) and personal training, available on site, as well as the free group classes, offering chair yoga and various exercises daily, modified to suit seniors. I gradually started walking, safe and cool in the Village hallways, knowing that if I fell, someone was always in reach. I now walk a mile a day with only my cane to assist. I go out to lunch with my family and friends again. My son was adamant that I find a place with a generator for the elevators. He was surprised to learn that The Village of River Oaks has generator capacity for the entire building, assuring we will never be without power during Houston summers. He was also pleased to learn that the Village is a designated Shelter-in-Place facility by the City of Houston, lessening the potential for forced evacuation. Seniors often must move to access more care as they age. It can be daunting. My experience here has proved to be a blessing; one I would wish for all those challenged by growing old.
