Assisted Living Communities in Burleson, TX

"I toured The Grandview of Chisholm Trail. What I like best about it is that it's brand new. It's very nicely decorated and very clean. What I like about it is that it's huge. The staff seem very interactive with their clients. They knew all their names. The food was very good. They have many options for each meal. You had a choice of 2 or 3. It was a formal dining setting with crystal. The residents there are at a much higher level. The dining area has a wide open area with multiple small tables. It's very nice."

"We toured Sunrise of Fort Worth, it was sort of our second choice. Their facilities were comparable. But to get to the memory care unit, you have to go in the lobby, and then have a circuitous route back towards the memory care unit. And since mom has great-grandchildren, which are still very young, we didn't think it was practical to march them through all these other people to go visit their great-grandmother. They had a couple of rooms that they showed us that they said they hadn't cleaned up since the clients had departed, and there was a little bit of mold in the showers. The shower heads were kind of dripping and they were in the middle of what appeared to be some maintenance work. They were changing the wallpaper and putting in new light fixtures and things like that. When my daughter and I visited them, it was the middle of the week but two in the afternoon and there didn't seem to be anybody working at that time on those maintenance items, so it was a little unusual. So we weren't sure whether they were taking good care of the maintenance and their people, or whether they were just kind of having it halfway done and taking a while to get through it all. They had good people there, the staff members were attentive to the clients, and they were attentive to visitors. Any questions you had they had answers for you or recommendations of where to get the answer from. Their grounds were well-tended, there was greenery everywhere. They had nice shady places to go outside and relax and enjoy. Interior-wise, it's all updated and modern looking, but not sterile like a hospital. It's more like a home, they had fireplaces and it was nice. But again, that maintenance didn't seem to be getting done the way it should be."

"We had lunch at the community, and we saw what we were looking for. . We were shown what they called the villa, which was an independent like townhouse. The staff was very welcoming; in fact, we went one day and looked without an appointment, and still they went out of their way to take us and show us without making us wait. They took us with their golf cards and took us to one of the villas, and she called someone so we can go into their apartments without extra notice; it was lovely. There’s a library, indoor swimming pool, and everything within the city, and Fort Worth has so much more to offer. They had trips to the symphony or Bethel, just downtown, or to one of the malls. They had lot of programs that were available to the residents who live there in the community building and classes. Everything you could possibly want was there. Both of these other places have transportation too, but it’s on a more limited choice of places. The staff was more than accommodating. "

"We visited the memory care facility of Mirabella Assisted Living, and it was a beautiful community. It was a good feeling with people laughing there. They were having some kind of an event for the people who live there, and the staff and the residents were playing games, and it looked like they were having a good time. Everybody was having fun. We also really liked the facility itself, the way it looked, and the accommodations they have for memory care."

"I toured Brookdale Tanglewood Oaks. It was clean inside. I went to its little kitchen area where they served food. I question some of the equipment. The kitchen equipment is aging. They have an old cooler system that they're using on the outside for the air conditioning. I can tell that that's aging also. It seems like they had a decent staff ratio to some degree, but I did see some seniors there, I wouldn't say neglected, but it just seems like they could have had a little bit better staff-patient ratio or client ratio. The apartment was fine. I looked in some of the rooms, and looking from the outside, they've done a pretty good job. The staff was great. They were personable and friendly. They asked me to sign in which I liked because I'm thinking about safety and security."

"The tour here was very nice. They have very nice rooms. I was really hoping that the actual apartment had an outside door that went to a courtyard or something, but they don't have that. But they had a lot of outside areas where you could go out. The staff was very good. The facility was very clean. When we went in they had some water damage, but they were redoing the floor. It's a little hard to tell people how to get there because it's off Interstate 20. They offer three meals a day and snacks."

"My parents moved to Highlands Village Senior Living. They got the second to the smallest room, and it's very roomy. The ceilings are high, so it makes it feel bigger. We're able to get both of their queen-size beds in there with the little loveseat. So far, their services seem great. They've only been there since Tuesday, so there's a little bit of adjustment and growing pains type of thing, but they've been very kind and tried to go out of their way to help however they can. They have bingo, card games, puzzles, and exercise. They have prayer services, church services, a movie theater for watching movies, and more. The dining area is top-notch. It is beautiful, and they have assigned seats. So, they're familiar with where they're going to eat every day, and then they get to select their own menu for the next day. So far, the food's been good."

"We went to visit the Sterling House of Mansfield assisted living facility while visiting places for our aunt. The grounds were impeccably well tended and there was plenty of space for the seniors to really enjoy the outdoors in a safe fashion. There were many places for seniors to enjoy socializing in a variety of ways, plus for quiet reading, enjoying TV, playing games in well designed and comforting rooms. The furnishings were homey, attractive and warm. We could see various levels of ambulation and it appears that the staff adjusts to whatever each resident requires. The resident's private living spaces were all decorated by the seniors or their familes, to assure the most comforting environments "“ all bright with plenty of fresh air. The casual dining rooms had very comfortable and attractive furniture. The formal dining rooms are available for residents to reserve for private affairs with friends and family "“ and also for facility gatherings. The menu foods included an appetizing variety of offerings found in nicer restaurants. They can also make any dish requested. They change the menus frequently for the best variety. Every dish is made according to the dietary needs of residents. The snacks are always offered throughout the day and looked very appetizing and nutritious. They are also available at any time the residents request them. The residents take many fun trips into town and the cities nearby "“ to enjoy casual and restaurants, art museums, galleries, libraries, shopping, culture and other events. Seniors are encouraged to use the fitness room for yoga and aerobics classes, as well as to use the equipment. They can also watch fitness shows on TV or play DVDs as they like, which is a nice added bonus. Residents also can get plenty of exercise outside due to the mild climate of Texas. The staff and residents go on regular walks around the grounds to enjoy the natural beauty of the community. It was clear to us that the care level at this facility offers very understanding and attentive caregivers and nursing staff "“ always with the best care of its residents in mind. "

Greatly enjoys the church service that terry put together. she says it makes it feel like she's at home. front desk is always so helpful bobbie terry and alice have made the move in nice and effortless thank you guys for taking such good care of mom"

"My mother-in-law is moving here. It's right next to our house, and it's exactly what she needs. The place is clean. It's modern. The staff was very friendly and seemed to be very helpful. The rooms were nice and they're willing to accommodate Mom with the things she needs. You just bring your own furniture in, and it's a studio. They have an activity room in the gym, and that was it. There is a courtyard, but I don't think anybody goes out there."

"Brookdale Westover Hills was too expensive, but the amenities were all good. They had everything I needed and things that I didn't need. Their studio apartment was just one big room. It would be sufficient but I like a little more room. I prefer a separate bedroom. Everybody was in one building and they were all on multiple floors. It appeared to be well maintained."

"My mom moved into Cleburne Court. It's very nice and friendly. It's an older place, but they've updated it. All of the staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a big room with a small kitchen and a bath. They have quite a few activities. They have something going on two or three times a day. Their food is delicious. They have a beauty salon, a courtyard, and a craft room. It's very easy for people to get around. They are the least expensive of all of them, and they have everything that I wanted."

"Heartis Cleburne was beautiful. The staff was wonderful. Dad wanted to move there but just couldn't afford it. There was one thing about the room that was available, it did smell of urine. Other than that, the whole facility was really beautiful."
