Donna Berry Community Home

I visited this facility

We decided to check out the Donna Berry Community Home while in Waco looking for a suitable place for our uncle. The grounds looked like they were well tended. We could see around the back that there was a lot of really nice park-like space to enjoy.

The staff who greeted us at the door were very pleasant. We could see the kindness of the staff and how they interacted with the residents, which was really sweet. The communal living room was nicely decorated, warm and spacious. All of the rooms were very homey, which our uncle would really enjoy.

The dining rooms had comfortable seating and were also easy access. We saw some residents on walkers, while many were totally ambulatory. They adjust the level of care accordingly. The living spaces were very nice - spacious enough to be comfortable in - some with more room to have guests. The food looked really appetizing and snacks are offered regularly throughout the day.

You can reserve spaces for family and friend events, from parties to barbeques. The staff will also see that food is catered as you like.

The activities ranged from reading to cards and other games -- and special events in the common areas, like birthday parties. The residents are also taken out daily and weekly for walks, exercise and to participate in local events around the city.

The private living quarters were well-kept and nicely decorated, to the taste of residents. They can bring in favorite furnishings and decorations as they like. Our uncle has some favorite pieces, so we are glad to know that he can bring them here if he chooses to.

This is a really nice facility -- with kind and caring staff who treat the residents with dignity and respect in a kind and caring fashion.
