Assisted Living Communities in Canton, TX

"Cedar Creek Lodge Boutique Senior Living was very nice. The upkeep was nice. Everything was nice about it. The staff was nice. We just couldn't afford it. They had a lot of activities going on and they had a bus. It was fairly new. They were also nice enough to give us some dessert, and it was good. The rooms were very nice. They had hardwood floors. They had two-bedrooms, one-bedrooms, and studios. They had a movie theater and a beauty salon, and it was nice."

"My cousin has been in the Lodge Assisted Living & Memory Care. It's absolutely beautiful. It's very clean. It's very new. It even smells new. The staff is great. You have an option of like an efficiency where your bed is in your living room, and it has a full kitchenette and a big bathroom. Or you can get a small room (around 400 square feet or a little over that) that has a small living room, a kitchenette, and then a separate bedroom. The facility is wonderful. As far as I can tell, the staff is good. But I'm not so happy with the food. I've asked my cousin, "What do you have for breakfast?" And every day it's scrambled eggs, bacon and toast, or oatmeal. I'm not really happy with the food right now and with the price that it is. Like for dinner recently my cousin had chips with chili on them, and I think for that amount of money you should have some fruit and vegetables for your dinner. Or at least I think you should have a fruit for breakfast option. So I have to go buy fruit, and fortunately my cousin has a refrigerator. She can put the fruit in her fridge because her doctor wanted her to eat more fruits and vegetables and less salt (there's a lot of salt in chili and chips). Everything else has been wonderful. I'm hoping they just get the diet fixed soon. I did get a good deal, it's about $4,500 a month in comparison to a lot of places. This facility has just opened in December, so it's brand new, and it is really nice. They have a dementia wing and then they have assisted living. In terms of activities, they don't have a whole lot yet as they're kind of getting off the ground, but they have an exercise group in the morning. It's in this really pretty open area that looks out on a little pond, so it's really nice. They have a smoking area for people that smoke, which a lot of them don't offer. And a lot of these older people have been smoking for a long time and they don't want to give it up now, so they have a smoking porch outside away from all the facilities. It's very clean and very nice. Their maintenance guy is amazing."

"We checked the Oak Wood Place Assisted Living last summer. We toured this place for my sister, but even when my mom was there, I was there pretty much every day, and they had great meals. They took time and really cared for her. All the residents there were really friendly and wanted to sit around and talk. I mean, it was just a really nice place. Well, it was great. It was clean. It's got all kinds of activities and I mean, it's a really good place. I would recommend it. They can go shopping, they have bingo, they have movies, and they have all kinds of activities to involve the residents with, something to keep them busy if they were interested in doing that, and if they weren't that was fine. The food was awesome, it was just like going to a cafeteria."

"My mom has been in Cedar Ridge for quite some time. She was diagnosed to have Alzheimer's disease, and it's really not easy for us her family. That's why we decided to put her in the right place where she will have special care for her condition. We loved the facility and she never had a long adjustment period. She loved to be in this place. They were very supportive and fun. The atmosphere is really friendly. According to mom, the food is really something you will look forward to and I'm really happy about that. They were very wonderful and pleasant. They really helped us so much. "

"Good place to put your mother or father."

"The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the facility and paperwork needed for my mother. The facility was very clean and well maintained, a very lovely home. The food was very nice looked like something you would pay for in a restaurant."

"Rosehaven wanted $1,000 a month, plus a $250 deposit. The people were not very friendly and really didn't act like they wanted to assist, to be honest. Just about everybody in the entire place was a mental case, so there's a lot of very crazy people in there. The building was probably about 90 years old, so after a few minutes I told, "I can't do it, I'm out of here." It was a very pathetic and horrible place. I wouldn't live there, and there's no way I would even consider it. The guy who talked to me first was nice, then he shifted me over to the manager of that unit, and she was having trouble finding my hospital records, and they had to have those before they could admit me, and it was obvious that she didn’t know what she was doing. She was eating and talking on her cellphone to people. Nobody was the right person there, nothing was happening, and I wasn't feeling anything good."

"I was very impressed with Wesley House Assisted Living. It's a beautiful place. However, they could not take my loved one because it was very expensive. Also, my loved one takes liquid morphine and she has control of it herself, but they said they couldn't have liquid morphine at the facility. So that cut them out from the get-go. However, if someone had the funds and didn't take liquid morphine, I would highly recommend it. And the community room was very nice. It's kind of like a big living room area. The rooms were small, but other than that, it was very good. And the staff who gave the tour did good. She was very nice."
