What Are Senior Assisted Living Apartments?
When families hear “assisted living,” many picture hospital-like hallways and shared rooms. That’s not what we’re talking about here.
Senior assisted living apartments are private residences, real apartments with real doors that lock, where older adults can live independently while having access to support when needed. Think of it as keeping your own space, your own routine, and your own life, with a safety net built in.
At The Medallion, residents have their own apartments. They come and go as they please. They’re not patients. They’re friends and family.
The difference matters. At The Medallion, that difference shows up in the way staff greet residents by name, know their preferences, and treat them like family.

Floor Plans and Living Spaces
The Medallion has 52 apartments total. That’s intentional. A smaller community means staff actually get to know each resident—not just their name, but their preferences, their routines, their family. It’s intimate, more like being surrounded by family and friends than living in a facility.
The smaller footprint also supports independence. Residents—even those in wheelchairs—can easily propel themselves from their apartment to dining to activities on their own. Staying as independent as possible supports mental and physical health.
Floor plan options include:
- Studios – 298 sq ft, compact and efficient, licensed for one person
- Deluxe Suites – 374 sq ft; open floor plan one-bedrooms
- One-bedrooms – 467 sq ft, separate sleeping and living areas, couples do well in this layout
- Two-bedrooms – 538 sq ft; room for couples or extra space for visiting family
All assisted living apartments for rent include a kitchenette with granite countertops, refrigerator, and microwave, plus basic TV service and Wi-Fi.

Is Assisted Living Right for Your Parent?
This is the question most families wrestle with. Nobody wants to make the move too early—but waiting too long creates its own problems.
A few signs that apartment-style assisted living might be worth considering:
Safety concerns at home. Falls, missed medications, and leaving the stove on. Small incidents that hint at bigger risks.
Isolation. Your parent used to be social. Now they rarely leave the house. Loneliness is a serious public health concern.
Caregiver exhaustion. If you’re the one checking in daily, managing medications, coordinating appointments, and it’s wearing you down, that’s worth paying attention to.
Nutrition issues. The fridge is empty or full of expired food. Meals are being skipped or consist of whatever’s easiest.
Declining self-care. Hygiene, grooming, and housekeeping are slipping in ways that weren’t true a year ago.
None of these means your parent needs a nursing home. They might just need a little support and a community where people actually know them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between assisted living and a nursing home?
Assisted living is for seniors who need help with daily activities—things like medication management, meals, and personal care—but can still live relatively independently. Residents typically have their own apartments. A nursing home provides a higher level of medical care for people who require round-the-clock skilled nursing. At The Medallion, residents live in private apartments and receive support tailored to their individual needs.
What’s the difference between senior apartments and assisted living?
Senior apartments (sometimes called 55+ communities) are independent housing with no care services included. Assisted living apartments combine private residences with professional support, including help with medications, meals, personal care, and 24-hour staff availability. At The Medallion, residents receive both their own apartment and access to care when needed.
How much does assisted living cost in Houston?
Costs vary depending on the community, floor plan, and level of care needed. The Medallion offers a variety of floor plans and care packages. For specific pricing, call Loren Gordon at 713-778-5702. More on discussing costs with family.
Can couples live together in assisted living?
Yes. The Medallion offers one- and two-bedroom apartments that are well-suited for couples who want to stay together. Each person’s care needs are assessed individually.
Are pets allowed in senior assisted living apartments?
At The Medallion, pets are welcome for an additional fee. The campus has outdoor walking paths.
What should I look for when touring an assisted living community?
Pay attention to how staff interact with residents. Is it warm? Rushed? Do residents seem engaged or isolated? Look at the apartments themselves, the dining room, the outdoor spaces. Ask about staff-to-resident ratios, how care needs are assessed, and what happens if needs change over time. We also have a full guide on what to look for during a tour.
Do you have to be Jewish to live at The Medallion?
No. The Medallion is a non-sectarian, nonprofit community that welcomes residents of all faiths, ethnicities, and national origins.
Can I try assisted living before committing?
