Senior Living News in West Houston

People who live in retirement communities are less lonely, more physically active, and more engaged than before they moved in, according to a June 2025 U.S. News & World Report survey. That certainly holds true at Eagle's Trace where residents have plenty of opportunities to connect with neighbors through clubs, exercise classes, volunteer efforts, creative pursuits, and shared meals. 

When Bill Deerhake moved to Eagle's Trace he didn't expect to become a teacher--especially with a former career as an Amoco petroleum engineer. But when the community's lifelong learning classes needed new teachers, he stepped up to the plate. Now, he heads the Stargazers, Great Decisions, and Knowledge Seekers groups, which offer classes on a variety of subjects.

Priority List members at Eagle's Trace have the unique opportunity to sign up for the Live the Life program. Once a member shows interest in the program, Senior Sales Associate Marianna Purcell reaches out to schedule their stay and help plan their itinerary.
