The Tradition - Buffalo Speedway in Houston, TX

4.7
We are still getting settled and sorting out our belongings since we brought more than we need, so we haven't participated in many activities yet. We are pleased with our choice a nd so are the people we have met, many of whom have been here since they opened. It is working very well for us.

We chose Good Living Community Care because of the convenient location and they worked really hard to get my dad into dialysis. The room sizes here were pretty good for what he needed. As assisted living, I would recommend to others looking.
