"My impression of Covenant Place of Abilene is very good. Right now it's one of the places that's at the top of our list. They offer help with transportation, lots of meal options and room meal services, there are planned field trips to the malls or grocery stores. The apartment I saw was very nice,clean, and well-taken care of. The lady who gave the tour was very helpful and very personable."

"There's nothing that I don't like about Wisteria Place Senior Living & Memory Care. I like that there's someone there 24 hours a day to make sure that my father is okay. They provide the meals for him and everyone there is very friendly. The staff is excellent. The food was good. He likes it. The facility is very clean, and the structure is very well-built. They play bingo, they play cards, and they have puzzles. So, they're always doing activities and the staff is always interacting with the residents. They also have Margarita Wednesdays. It's a little pricey, but it's OK. The atmosphere felt good. It's very friendly. It feels more like a home environment."

"I cannot express the depth of the love, care and compassion that the staff of Beehive give not only my mother but to all of the residents. In dealing with 5 different Care facilities in the last 8 years I can truly say that none come close to what the Beehive has offered. My mother had been in her home for 62 yrs in a small community full of friends. I was very worried about her acceptance when the time came to have her in assisted living. The 1st three things Momma said within 30 minutes of arrival was "this is nice", "it's really quiet" and " it smells really nice here...it's really clean". After 2 days she was saying how good the food is...which my mother has always been an excellent cook so that was the ultimate compliment! When it comes time to make the decision for your loved one's...and it is a troubling and scary time, please see if the Beehive is an option for you and I can only hope you have the experience that we have had with this wonderful home! From the 1st week I have always said we were truly Blessed in finding such a gem and the beautiful people that show so much care for my loved ones!"

"My mother is at Chisholm Place. Everything's good, they provide excellent care, and there's a caring staff. I have no problems with it. She's enjoying it. She said the food is great. They're feeding her too much, and it's good food. She's very active and goes to all the activities they can do during the shutdown. Her room is adequate, and it's big enough for her. It's about probably 400 to 500 square feet. Right now, everything's kind of slowed down because of COVID."

"Lyndale Abilene Senior Living was alright. They not only have a building for independent living, but they also have a building for assisted living. They have a full kitchen. They have a couple of outdoor spaces. It is also a convenient walk to a Subway sandwich shop and an ice cream shop. It was well presented. The person in charge of the tour was very good. When I was there, they were having a happy hour with quite an array of finger foods to go along with it."

"I thought that the amenities were very nice. We went to a small chapel for singing, and it was furnished with song books, an organ and sound system, which made it very easy to put on our worship. The staff were very supportive and made sure to post info about the worship throughout the facilities. With the info on our worship, there was a calendar that had a multitude of other activities for the patrons to enjoy. We were always greeted and the staff would help the volunteers to get to the correct location if we couldn't find it. The people in the nursing home were able to get to the chapel either by themselves, or with the help of the staff, and the staff always seemed to be happy when working with the seniors at the facility. All of the seniors were very happy to have some sort of worship to attend on Wednesday nights, and also enjoyed being able to talk to the volunteers who attended. "

"My brother, who is mentally disabled, lived in this facility for a time. In my experience, it seemed to be hit or miss as to how good it was, depending on the staff. I felt like some staff members were really kind and good to my brother; others were ambivalent at best and cruel at worst. There were several staff members whom my brother really enjoyed; they took him places in the community, treated him with kindness, and cooked him his favorite foods. I felt that sometimes they relied too much on my family to advocate for my brother rather than doing it themselves, simply because we were able to advocate and very involved in his life. Also, I did not like the fact that some staff members seemed to take my brother along as a passenger as they went about their own personal business. There is a fairly high rate of staff turnover. "

"Wesley Court Senior Living was top-notch. I could afford to go there, but I don't want to spend all my money there. It was quite opulent. They have a couple of nice ponds and some houses. If you have the money, you can enjoy yourself there. They have a lot of outdoor space. They have apartments that are large enough that you wouldn't feel like your furniture is cramped together. It is spacious. I felt like the lady could have been more conversational, though. It almost felt like I was in a business meeting. It was a very elegant place."

My mom has lived here for over two years. I feel like my mom has been well cared for at the Beehive. I like the fact that it is a smaller facility.
