Overall
From planting flowers and yelling bingo to shopping Walmart and excursions around the town, The Abby has a little bit for everyone. My mom moved in last year and it has taken her a long time to adjust to her new place and routine. The staff at The Abby has accelerated the adjust much quicker and much more kindly than her three sons could have asked for. The staff genuinely know their residents and engage them in conversations. I visit once a week and she always talks so fondly of the guy that drives the residents around the town, how she did at bingo and shows me the growth on her flowers. The food is very good and the variety and friendly staff again help her with her needs. She was at another facility near by that use to have a very good reputation, but The Abby is clearly head and shoulders above the rest. They are the standard that everyone else should be striving to obtain. Double thumbs up!

Best Food in Houston
My husband and I are relocating to be closer to our children and out of all the retirement communities we have visited, none of them held a candle to the Abbey at Westminster Plaza as far as the food goes. We will miss the dining experience we will be leaving behind!!

Made-to-order meals are fresh and delicious
Meals are prepared under the direction of an Executive Chef. Made-to-order meals were piping hot and to my liking. I highly recommend tasting a meal when considering The Abbey for a loved one. Favorite choices are the Filet Mignon and the freshly made chicken salad.

First Night Dinner
My mother moved into the Abby last week. The move, as with everything during this time in her life, has been quite traumatic. When we got her settled around 4pm I stopped by the dinning facility and asked if it was ok if my mother and I ate dinner that evening. I told them that we had just moved her into her room, she was new and had not made reservations prior to today. From the help, servers, cooks and wait staff, they were all so encouraging, helpful, flexible and kind. I can not think or could have planned a better first night dinner for my mother. My mother felt at home, the food was really good and the table settings classic. There are a few things that you will always remember in your life, this will be one of those events for me. Thank you and May god bless the Abby.

Life here at the Abbey
The experience has been exceptional with the staff and the residents.The dining room food is first class and is fun with our friends. The staff at the front desk and maintenance staff are knowable and helpful..We do not have a car but there is transportation available. There are many activities such as going places and seeing things and making friends. After visiting the Abbey, my son-in-law said, “I want to live here!

This is a wonderful place to call home
I've lived here for (number removed) years. Moved here at age (number removed). I love it. One of the nicest things about The Abbey is: The Residents here are so friendly. You won't pass anyone in the hallway without being greeted with a smile and a Hi, Hello, How're you. It's so easy to make friends. There are many many activities - you can do as much or as little as you like. Some of my favorites are: Line Dancing, Greeting Card Workshop, Sit and Be Fit, the movie theater. The Dining Room is beautiful and the food is very good - and healthy. This is a beautiful place to call home.

A great place for mom
We chose The Abbey because of the overall price, the cleanliness, the staff was extremely friendly and that has continued even after moving in. They offered everything that my mom needed as well. The apartment sizes are nice. The meals are chef prepared, I gave it a lower score due to the meals having to be delivered to their doors. I would absolutely recommend.
