About The Abbey at Westminster Plaza
The Abbey at Westminster Plaza is a family-owned senior living community located in Houston's Energy Corridor, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care within a single, luxurious campus. Founded in 1952, it has operated for more than 70 years as a locally owned retirement community rather than part of a corporate chain, with an ownership team that is directly involved in day-to-day decisions.
Independent living residents enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle with resort-style amenities, chef-prepared dining, and a full calendar of community activities. Assisted living provides discreet, personalized daily support delivered by caregivers, allowing residents to focus on their day-to-day enjoyment while receiving help as needed. Memory care is offered in a purpose-built environment emphasizing consistency, routine, and compassionate caregiving tailored to each resident's journey.
Dining is overseen by Chef Roger Elkhouri, who curates seasonal menus in elegant dining rooms, blending nutrition, variety, and flavor. Wellness amenities include an indoor heated pool, aqua therapy, a full fitness studio, and a spa, all located within the community.
The Abbey emphasizes a personal, family-oriented culture where residents are known by name and every detail of their care is intentional. The community also shares resources for families navigating senior living decisions, including guidance on the differences between independent living, assisted living, and memory care.

My mother started in Independent Living and has moved to Assisted Living. The staff is amazing. They are kind, loving, caring and trustworthy. I would highly recommend The Abbey as a place to live for older folks.

My name is Patricia Diggs. I have been at the Abbey now for eight months. I came from Chicago Illinois living in an independent living building. The Abbey is a much better living facility. I’m excited it has a swimming pool my favorite sport. The food is superb the activity schedule is much better than my living place in Chicago. Movies in the evening every night, I enjoy line dancing, water aerobics, and soon they’re going to implement water volleyball. For less active seniors, there are many activities for you as well. JB who is from the corporate office goes beyond the call of duty all the time. He helps me with my network with my television and it affects my iPhone as well which is hard to keep the technology going. He always had a solution to keep me online. If anyone is looking for a luxury living retirement facility, the Abbey is the place. I guarantee you will be satisfied ! Also asked for the moving specialist, Renee, or Raquel . They would be more than happy to answer any questions or have you move into the Abbey soon?

I had a great experience visiting The Abbey! I wanted to take a moment to recognize JD Fuller as he was fantastic. He gave an excellent tour, was incredibly personable, and I was genuinely impressed that he knew everyone’s name. You can tell he really cares about the residents and what he does. I also want to acknowledge Executive Director Sahar Hussain for leading such a welcoming and well-run community. It really shows in the atmosphere and the team. Beautiful building, theatre, wellness center, dining halls. Overall, a wonderful visit and a great group of people. Highly recommend checking it out!
