Fairbanks Court Assisted Living

Where Your Family Becomes Ours

Fairbanks Court is a unique residence option for seniors who require assistance ranging from basic mobility and supervision to full Memory Care. Located just North of Spring Branch and just West of Oak Forest, we’re conveniently accessible from highway 290 or from I-10 and particularly convenient for commuters coming into Houston from Cypress or Jersey Village.

Fairbanks Court can be described as ‘residence style’ assisted living, meaning that it feels like a large single-family home. With a capacity of only 16 residents, we’re able to know each family by name. There’s no bureaucracy, confusing hierarchies, or ambiguous responsibilities. The owners are the chief care-givers and are personally involved in day-to-day operations. The building is large enough to provide space for each resident to pursue their interests but small enough to feel like home. We eat each meal together at a large dining table and gather on the patio to watch the sunset.

The most interesting facet of our culture is the presence of children in the lives of our residents. The owners David and Kate have three young boys who are frequent participants and even leaders of group activities. Fairbanks Court also has a large playset in the back yard which provides fun for the kids and entertainment for the residents. Children are always welcome at Fairbanks Court, and we are always well stocked with puzzles, games, and toys for all generations to enjoy.

The Christian faith of David and Kate Gober is an important aspect of their business practices and their decision to pursue elder care. David is a deacon at Houston’s First Baptist Church where he has taught Bible study classes for ten years. He has a long history of volunteerism and is transitioning out of the oil and gas industry to lead Fairbanks Court. Kate is a Registered Nurse, mother of three, and a constant source of encouragement to both moms of children and ‘moms again’ who find themselves caring for their parents. David and Kate believe that God has led them to this career and that providing purpose, safety, and affection for older adults is incredibly fulfilling and rewarding.

We hope that you will consider Fairbanks Court and choose to be a part of our family. And stop by our Open House on June 11 from 1 pm to 6 pm!
