Dogwood Estates

Reviewer#LD120523A

We had a good tour at Dogwood Estates. The place was beautiful. It was probably the best, the most elaborate, and better-looking establishment. It was very spacious and laid out beautifully. They had big rooms, but the closet space for 2 people was a little tight. There was no washer/dryer. They had a microwave, but they didn't allow any other electrical things in the kitchen, like frying pans or slow cookers or anything like that. It had big balconies, which was nice with greenery around. It was a beautiful establishment. It was like going into a big hotel. They had a lot of activities. They had a sheet with all the activities that they had planned for people. They had a big dining room and people seemed to be happy.

Our tour at Dogwood Estates was really good. I liked the place very much. One nice thing is that it's across the street from the theater, so as far as entertainment you can walk across the street and go to the movies. There was some nice dining there in the area too. I liked the facility. It was clean. If you needed some help, like someone to come in and help you in the shower or help you maybe with dressing, they had people in the facility. It was a separate organization, but they were located in the facility that could come and help you. There's an extra charge but there's somebody there. Particularly if you had surgery or something, that's when it would be really nice to have some extra help. They had other activities scheduled. It was a nice place. It was large, and so there was a lot of space, which helped, and I thought they were nice.

I toured Dogwood Estates in Denton. I went to see independent living. I thought they had this nice vestibule where you come in, and I think their dining room was just kind of right behind that, so that seemed pretty convenient. It was kind of a large, open space, and the living units are fine. We looked at the one-bedroom, which would be most suitable for my dad. We might have looked to the studio too, but either one would have been fine for him because he makes his own meals. I met the staff. I don't remember the names of the people there, but they were all kind of very knowledgeable. I did not doubt that he could be comfortable there.

Dogwood Estates was very nice. When you walked in, it looked like a grand hotel or something. It was like you were going on a vacation. The rooms were all decorated gorgeous. I was very impressed with it. The person that showed me around was very cordial. They were just as nice as they could be. I told them that I was not interested as anything at that time, and she said, "Well, let me go ahead show you what we have to offer." They had a nice TV room and a little library area. Upstairs they had a beauty shop. They had a great big room that had a bunch of tables in it. There was a pool table in there, and they were putting puzzles together on the other table. Their dining room looked like a nice restaurant.

I went to visit Dogwood Estates and overall the place was exceptional. That place should have all the awards on their walls as far as I am concerned. I was there for lunch and I observed and the staff were just as nice to one as they were to all. They did not go without tea, water, milk or whatever they were drinking. If a resident needed something they were right there. Nobody has to ask for anything. They made sure everyone was taken care of with a smile. They stood there and talked to them for a few moments. They didn’t just pour and walk away with a frown. That is probably where would I have chosen because it was exceptional. The atmosphere was just superb. I’ve never seen anything quite so in harmony. The staff and the residents were very friendly.

I moved to Dogwood Estates two days ago into an efficiency suite. Everything, including the food, is really good. The people are warm and caring. There's exercise, bingo, bridge, and tons of things to do. It’s a really nice place.
