The Village of River Oaks

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 moved to the Village of River Oaks three weeks ago to be near my son. I highly recommend it. The building is only 9 years old. It's 3 minutes to the grocery store, post office, bank, Walgreens, Office Depot, and an array of fine shops and restaurants. Everything is well maintained. The meals are excellent with creative dishes by a fine master chef. They change the menu every night with 3 entrees. If you don't see one you like, you can order from another one of the foods always available, including wonderful salmon. There are about 8 different activities each day and a movie every night in a small theater. There's a swimming pool and fitness center. They offer various excellent fitness exercises each day. The social coordinator came up with unique ideas such as live readings of plays where you can act a character's part, poetry appreciation, music presentations, creating your own video. There's a movie every night in the theater. Each Friday at 4:00, there's a wine down. They hire a professional musician for us to dance and enjoy ending the week. The staff is very pleasant and does all it can to accommodate one's needs. The Village is in River Oaks, considered the finest neighborhood in all of Houston. I'm 2 blocks from the Bayou which has lots of walking trails and 4 from MEMORIAL PARK, the largest in Houston. I hated leaving all my friends in Sun City TX, but I have found new ones here. The wide variety of activities and meals in the dining room have given me an opportunity to interact with very interesting fellow residents.

I'll start by saying the Village of River Oaks has been an amazing home of love and care for my mother. I cannot say enough good things about the amazing staff - Hayley, Amber, Charmanie, and Chris just to name a few off the top of my head. Please know all the staff is amazing. The gentleman that oversees parking is an absolute wonderful human. My mother is in assisted living. She, sadly, had a little fall and fractured her hip. The VORO team responded immediately carefully getting my mother to the ER safely and quickly. Now here's where the service care above and beyond. Two days after Mom's hip surgery, I popped by her unit to pick up some items. Nurse Amber anticipated that I would be coming by and set out some clothes and creature-comforts she knew my mom would like to have with her. That is just amazing and so helpful for me and my family. Thank you VORO for being amazing and caring so well for my Mother.

The residents are fantastic!! Love the doggies and kind staff! I love that my family is so well taken care of here. I've never heard them complain. Love you ❤️
