In order for Seven Acres to properly assess our ability to care for a resident, we require recent medical information from the resident’s doctor and/or hospitalization records no more than 30 days old. In that way we can best determine which of our many levels of care would be appropriate. We also require financial information about the resident so a determination can be made as to what type of financial arrangements will be made.
In terms of waiting time for admission, please know that Seven Acres is very sensitive to oftentimes crisis situations and we do everything possible to admit residents quickly. Seven Acres maintains six levels of care, each having its own accommodation availability and waiting list. However, generally speaking residents can be admitted within 5-10 working days if all the required documentation is received.
topSeven Acres accepts residents who qualify for Medicaid, and/or Medicare funding, private fees, and insurance. In all cases, financial arrangements must be confirmed prior to admission.
Seven Acres charges a per diem rate according to the size of room accommodations. We have four designs of rooms from semi-private to deluxe private accommodations. However, private accommodations are only available to those residents who are remitting the full fee for care. Please call our business office at 713-778-5703 or 713-778-5701 for more specific information about our fee structure.

Absolutely not. Although Seven Acres receives significant support from the Jewish community, we are a non-sectarian, not-for-profit organization which accepts persons of all faiths and regardless of their national origin.
