Assisted Living Communities in Lubbock, TX

"Angel's Arms Assisted Living facility in Lubbock was on our list to check out for our aunt. We liked the quaintness of it and that it is smaller than others we've seen. The owner is a Registered Nurse - whom we met and really liked. The main room as very nice and homey. The main sitting and living rooms were well designed and had nice furnishings. We saw seniors on the back porch enjoying themselves. Our aunt would really like to tend the lovely garden. The furnished rooms offered single or double occupancy and are nicely decorated, airy, fresh and bright. They all have adequate space for privacy. The chef prepared home style and nutritious foods and they offer an extensive and varied menu. The snacks are offered any time the residents desire them. They encourage all of the residence to participate in physical activities such as walks, and daily exercise. They also plan a variety of these types of activities daily and weekly. They host a weekly music hour with live musicians, show movies, conduct crafting, bake cookies and more. The game room features bingo, card tournaments, dominoes, and sewing projects. It was clear that the staff her really knows what they are doing --all are medically trained with a lot of experience. They all care deeply about the welfare of the residents and handle them with care, courtesy and kindness. "

"The Noble Home is an assisted living facility in the Lubbock region that we visited as an option for our aunt. The exterior looked well maintained and there was plenty of outdoor seating for residents, friends and family to enjoy. The main rooms were all designed well, comfortable and homey. The residents could be seen enjoying a variety of activities, from reading to socializing or enjoying a game or a movie. The dining room was quaint and comfortable, with nice furnishing and nice lighting. The foods offered looked healthy and delicious, from a nutritious and varied menu. The residents may also order special meals as they desire. The exercise room had all of the typical options, plus a trainer comes weekly for varied and special classes. The library was well stocked and comfortable. The residents are taken to many interesting gathering and events around the area, such as concerts, shows, art galleries and other places. The staff at this facility are very kind and attentive to all of the residents and appear to easily adapt to all of their needs. "

"We went to see The Phoenix House in Lubbock while we were there scouting out assisted living facilities for our aunt. It looked well tended from the exterior. The interior rooms are all lovely -- from the foyer sitting room to the community and activity rooms. All were designed with senior access in mind. They have many events and socials scheduled, as well. The residents are treated to many invigorating and stimulating outings in and around the area. The dining areas feature nice furnishings and great looking and smelling home-style food that the chef cooks in a healthful way, matching any dietary need necessary. Residents may place special requests at any time. The snacks are available continuously. They also encourage guests to visit as much as they like. Many people from the community come to entertain and socialize with residents regularly. They provide individualized service plans for each resident, including exercise, and assistance with ambulation and personal care as necessary. It was clear that they keep the residents in mind first and foremost. This is a nice facility with well-cared for resident and a caring, kind and dedicated staff. "

"Golden Top has been a very good fit for our loved one and our whole family. We had several referrals for Golden Top in the beginning of our search and have been with Golden Top for 3 years. Golden Top doesn't just take care of your loved one, they also always welcome all the family with any questions, or concerns. Our loved one has all the flexibility in making Golden Top her home in this stage of her life. She is very well taken care of, 3 meals and snacks during the day, and the home is always very clean, well ordered. We are pleased as a family member of a resident with our decision to place our loved one at Golden Top.."

"I have put my parents at SouthHaven Assisted Living, and it’s wonderful. My parents are very close to the staff; any need we have, they take care of it. Mother needed a lot of care at first, but she is doing much better now. They help with toileting, brief changes, and bathing. They do housekeeping once a week, and Mother gets her hair done."

"My mom is at Sisters of Loving Arms Care Home. It's in the older part of Lubbock. They have large, beautiful homes in the area. This is an older home that probably could use a few updates, but the people are very nice. The staff is very nice, too. They only have 8 residents at a time, so they're able to give a little bit more personal care. In terms of activities, they have played games like dominoes or cards and played bingo at one time. My mom has a TV in her room, and she likes TV. But they don't take them to their appointments. The family has to take them to doctor's appointments. The dining room has one large table. The ones that can sit at the table, come to the table. But if you're not feeling good or you don't want to, they will serve your food to your room. It would be nice if they could get a little bit more activities. The place is clean. It could use some upgrading. But if my mom needs help with anything, she can just pull one of the strings and she has a thing that she wears on her neck sometimes that she can call them to come and help her."

"Cleanliness is important as well as care given, a smaller facility also a factor. Location is important to me.....this facility offered all of these. "

"We chose Beehive Homes of Lubbock because it doesn't have a lot of residents. I think they have maybe 10 to 12 residents there versus a nursing home, which has a lot more. My father-in-law's room is clean. It's perfect. It's like a one-bedroom apartment and it's very suitable. I haven't tried the food, but I met with the person who prepares the meals, and I like the part when you walk in the front door, you can smell the food they're preparing for the residents. It would be easy for my father-in-law to stay in bed all day, but I like that they make it a point to get him up and put him in a wheelchair. They have a TV room so some of them sit around and watch TV."

"My mother has moved into Wedgewood South. The facility is very pretty, clean, and updated. It has very nice rooms. The layout is very good. We like the fact that they're in quadrants, so there's a greater staff to resident ratio. There are more employees for her. They have courtyards and lovely patios. They do activities on the patios. They have a very good activities director, so my mother has things that she can do every day. She is encouraged to go to things rather than to just sit in her room. They have ladies' coffee. They have movies. They have a chapel, and every holiday there are activities. They have bingo three days a week. They have many activities."

"The absolute best memory care facility on the South Plains. Our family was always treated with love and respect. The patients are treated with a phenomenal level of patience and attention creating a secure home for all. "

"The area I visited at The Legacy at South Plains was for people that have dementia. They have cameras in all the common areas and everything looked great. The staff was very friendly, very understanding, and accommodating. The rooms had a refrigerator, a microwave, and a partial kitchen. They were nice and big. They're not furnished, and they don't put two people in a room, which is good."

"I put down a deposit on Wilshire on 4th, and things are rolling along. My friend has a room and it's for memory care. It's a small facility. They have 16 rooms and they're all single rooms. It's one of the most affordable of the places that we talked to. They had a gathering room with a TV, and I saw several people there. It was 4:00, and there were several people in the dining room with activities at the time. The room was kind of small, but it's just one person in the room. It had a bathroom and a huge closet with a built-in dresser. The toilet and sink were in that area, but the shower was down the hall. Most falls happen in the shower, so there's always somebody in the shower with the residents. The lady who showed us around was very informative and asked lots of questions about the kind of care that my friend needed. They were open to everything that we needed. It was clean. Because it's a memory care place, the doors were locked. They have the licensing for locking the doors. They can't get out the door unless one of the staff members opens the door. They had the common area that was like a living room, and a common area that was like a dining room. There was a large backyard that I didn't really look at, but they mentioned that they take people out there and enjoy the sun."

"The people at Wilshire Place seemed really nice and were right there when I walked through the door. Everybody seemed very happy. It's a nice place. The elderly people seemed really happy. The grounds were nice, but the parking lot was small and really crowded while trying to get in and out without getting hit. I didn't like that. "

"Tahoka Living Center (Lynnwood) is very close to where my mom was living. It is within ten to fifteen minutes of a lot of people that will go see her. The staff is very professional. She likes the food and gets around very well -- no complaints at all. Her accommodation allows her some privacy, and she has plenty of space; it is a perfect size for her. "
