Assisted Living Communities in Azle, TX

"My father is at Brookdale Watauga. It's an assisted living that is a Type B where they kind of help them get a little more. So they help him with showering, getting dressed, the occupational health part of it. They give him his medications. It just depends on what your needs are, what they will do, and what is charged. They've been nice, really helpful. They let me know things that are going on with him, which I appreciate. And if they have any questions, they don't hesitate to ask. So I'm really happy. It's clean. If he does not want to eat in the dining room, they will bring him something to eat. They worry about him when he doesn't eat. It's a super nice facility. It's a smaller facility. They keep it clean, keep it updated. They have exercises every day at 10:00, and I did notice that they have a little beauty salon there on-premises. If the ladies want to get their hair done, or if he wants to get a haircut, he can. I would recommend it. The dining area is very nice, they have their own specific places that they sit, and some of the food looks pretty good. He didn't want to exercise, but they did bingo, they had a common room where they could watch TV, he was just not interested in all that. They have crafts. Val the coordinator, she's the first one you talked to, she's the one that talks to the families when they're thinking about putting their family member into assisted living. She was just so nice and full of information. The nurses were all so nice and they just told you everything upfront, which I appreciate. So I was impressed very much with Val and the nurses like Andrea and Lindsey, they were just very helpful. A big shout out to them, because they're very nice and very welcoming."

"Windsor Court Senior Living is simple and clean. My father's room is good. It is just a regular room. They didn't have bathrooms in it, which I appreciated, because when you have a memory care person such as my father, who doesn't know where a bathroom is anyway, why are you going to want to walk them from one end of the facility all the way down and into their room to use their bathroom? This place has two bathrooms right close to the commons area, which is also fairly close to the bedrooms because it wasn't a huge facility, and so I appreciated that because it's more practical and makes more sense. They train on a regular basis in memory care. So, they appeared to be well trained and they have plenty of staff for what's needed, ratio wise. They do different activities. They keep them clean, they take them to the bathroom and they make sure that they're fed. The biggest thing was that they literally would sit with the residents let them talk and ask them a couple of questions even if the answers weren't what the questions are, but they're at least engaged. I was just looking for a staff that's engaged with the residents. I don't care that they don't do beadwork because he doesn't know how to do it anyway. I was not there when they were feeding them, but my wife was and my mom was there also. They thought that the food was very good. It was perfectly fine and it was just good food and they served the dessert and my father ate it up. He didn't seem to have any problem with that. So, the food was great as far as they were concerned. The thing that I liked about the place was that it was smaller. We think it has to be frilly and fluffy or look at how nice my decorations are or look! I have marble on the floor, but does it matter? Absolutely not. We just need a clean and caring staff that's going to take care of them through the end of their life and that's how I would rate Windsor Court Senior Living. It's nothing fancy. It isn't. It's a smaller dining area and it's a smaller living room area, but they need to be able to keep track of them. My father's a wanderer. He has his type of Alzheimer's, the one that is sundowners, so he just gets up and walks and walks, and he'll just walk around the room, pushing on the blinds and touching everything time and time again. If it's a big facility, where is he? How are you going to find him? They were the best priced, too."

"I looked at West Fork at Weatherford. My in-laws asked my opinion, and I told them that's the one I would recommend for my mother-in-law. Walking in, it's beautiful. It felt like a hotel because it had a beautiful dining room. Gorgeous. They have menus at the tables, so you can see your choices and everything. It's very nice. They have, of course, their own salon and their own gym kind of thing, and that was all beautiful. They showed me the apartments. They would still come in and help them do their medications and different things, depending on the level of what they would need. It was nice. I fell in love with it. The garden area was beautiful. There was nothing I didn't like. The staff were very, very good. They sell it because they have the knowledge on it and stuff. You don't have to go looking or questioning or whatever. They answered all the questions I had right there. I didn't try the food, but the smell was delicious. The facility was very clean and good."

"I visited Mustang Creek for my parents. It was good. The rooms and dining room were OK. The staff was good. "

"We liked everything about Autumn Hill Manor. There was no dislike of anything. It was very, very clean. Mostly ladies live there, and they all enjoy the place and they're comfortable there. The food is amazing. They serve a very good variety of dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's a very, very nice facility. They offer laundry. They also take care of medications, so nobody forgets to take their medication. They hand it all out. They're very thorough with that, too. They have some activities, bingos, and games. When we were there, they were playing balloon volleyball. They all looked like they were having a very good time. We got to talk to some of the residents, and they enjoy it there. One has only been there six months, and she was so happy to be there. It was very, very clean. We even talked to the staff. They were all amazing. The lady in charge was very informative and told us everything. We didn't get to try the food, but what we saw of it, and when we talked to the ladies who were eating it, they said it was wonderful. It looked very inviting, like you would want to sit down and eat."

"I've toured Brookdale Weatherford. It's much smaller, more expensive, and further out of town than the place we ended up choosing for my father-in-law. Their staff answered all of our questions, were very kind, and let us take our time. It's a newer facility, and they had a smaller, tight-knit community, and I like that it's very quiet."

"Sanitation could be better. There was a smell that was a little bit strong, but that may be just the moment when we went in there. "

"Ashwood Assisted Living is one of the most comfortable and attractive facilities I have seen. The halls are very wide and fully carpeted. The building is fully carpeted, painted, papered and trimmed to be a pleasant place. It integrates a number of garden areas with plantings, walks and benches into the property. The rooms and baths are spacious and modern. Many such facilities are old and run down or are expensive. Ashwood is neither. The staff is friendly, professional and well trained in geriatric related issues. There are daily supervised activities and a number of clubs and associations for residents to belong to depending on their tastes. For example there are clubs for bingo and other popular games and pastimes. There also is a resident run association that collects and provides resident feedback to the management at regular meetings. Staff is always available to assist the residents at club gatherings and many social activities are supervised by the Activities Director. In some ways Ashwood seems more like a modest resort than a place providing care for seniors unable to live entirely alone.Ash wood should definitely be on your short list for assisted living care in North Texas. The location is easy to find, being very near the interstate between commercial and residential areas well patrolled and traffic controlled. Plenty of parking is available for visitors and residents.Lenard Green "

"It was a really nice facility. The rooms were very nice with lots of windows, very handy to everything. It had washers and driers right next door. The food was absolutely excellent and served all day. They had nurses who were on-call 24-hours a day. They had people there to do your therapy. They had exercise. There was a lot of good things there. "

"WONDERFUL, caring place. Couldn’t be more pleased. The fact that so many of the staff have been there for my family member speaks volumes about how they respect & treat both their staff and patients. Highly recommend."

"Teresa's House has gone the extra mile for my family. I cannot thank the staff and management enough. Godwin and his team are second to none. I sure wish we had known about Teresa's House sooner. Unfortunately, our experience with another facility was NOT even close to the care and comfort we received at Teresa's House. I wish I could rate this a 10-star facility!!! They deserve 10 stars not five. We need more businesses that care about their clients like Teresa's House."

"It had all three levels of care, but I visited the independent living. They told me that it was only built five years ago. It was good, but the rooms were probably average. I saw the dining area. They had three meals a day and there was a snack area where you could pick up snacks any time of the day. For the size of the facility, the dining area seemed to be small, but they told me that if you would go for independent living, you can eat in the assisted living dining room as well. I met one staff member, and she was friendly. She knew what she was talking about. It looked like an apartment building. It's four stories. It seemed to be clean."

"I looked at Brookdale Pecan Park because they're just a few blocks from my house. I like the facility, but I'm not yet ready to give them a yes. It was very clean. I saw several attendants working. I was able to watch some of the activities going on in one of the larger activity rooms. The ladies that were there at the tables seemed to be having an enjoyable time. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the facility and the attention paid to the patients. The staff who toured me was very personable, very informed, and very attentive to my questions and what my husband's needs might be. It was in a beautiful, wooded, and shaded area. It's very clean. They explained that there would be a single room available, or my husband could share a room with another person. The eating area looked very nice, very clean, and very easy to access. Right now, I'm very impressed with it, and we would probably go with that one if I was ready to make a decision."

"I liked the facilities at Mustang Creek Estates-Burleson. I liked that they had several different houses. They have up to 14 people in assisted living and they live in one house. It's got a common living room, a dining room area, and a common kitchen. Then they each have their own bedroom bathroom suite going kind of like in a semicircle off of that kitchen. So, I liked the way that it was set up. I liked that I got to talk to some of the staff and they all seemed very nice and very caring towards the other residents that were there. They answered any questions that I might have and they seemed attentive to the other residents that were there. They were cooking lunch when I was there and it smelled delicious. They do activities with the residents they have, like bingo night, puzzles, and movie nights. When I was there, they were cooking Chinese food for lunch to celebrate Chinese New Year. They also do day trips, like a one-hour trip to the Walmart or they'll take the men out to lunch, and then the next week, they'll take the women out to lunch. It just seemed to me like they offered some activities that my mom would like and they have a lady from a salon that comes in weekly. They did not have a pool. They have chaplain services on Sundays. I like it. My mom's never been a person to go out and socialize and be a part of different clubs and everything. She's more of a homebody, and this felt more like home. I think she'll like it. The facilities are beautiful, very well-kept, and very clean."
