Assisted Living Communities in San Marcos, TX

"I love the staff, and I like that it was kind of a home. There's a nice grassy courtyard out at the back. I would rate them highly because of the staff and the activities. They offered me a meal, I saw it and it looked good. They have a nice back porch with rocking chairs and a nice yard to walk around in. The cleanliness was good. It was kind of far away for us, but we felt like my relative was very well taken care of there, and happy."

"I liked Brookdale New Braunfels a lot. I enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was and how nice the people were. I liked the model that they showed me and what my mother's living quarters would look like. The staff was very friendly and seemed very nice. Everybody seemed happy there. However, some of their air-conditioning ducts didn't have vents on them for some reason. I don't know if they're cleaning them or what, but they did not have vents on them. That's the only complaint I have. They need a little touchup paint on a couple of doors, but that was it."

"GOLDEN AGE HOME ASSISTED LIVING gave my mom exceptional care. She enjoyed the other residents, the activities and the helpful staff. She was given more food than she could eat and absolutely loved the soups! My mom was very happy living here!!"

"Village on the Park Onion Creek was chosen because my mother has an outside entrance with a patio -- we can go to the patio and visit her, so we don't have to go into the building -- and also the price. The main thing was the accessibility to visit. The staff members seem pretty nice. The room is quite large with a separate bedroom, nice windows, and a kitchenette. With COVID, the activities are extremely limited. They have exercise class, bingo, and she has joined a riders club. They were the nicest facility for the value."

"I like Brookdale Beckett Meadows very much. It was very nice. They had a resident dog there. It seemed good. The staff was awesome. I saw some activities. They had a place where you can fold laundry if that made you happy or hold a baby."

"My mother will be moving into Brookdale Gaines Ranch. I chose it because of the look and feel of the place. The residents looked happy and seemed to be enjoying the place and they were out and about and active. The staff was friendly and caring, and we had good communication, so far. It's a very nice facility with a lot of amenities. They have a gym, salon, indoor pool, courtyard outside, walking trail, pet park, poker room, and deli. They had more than anybody else."

"My parents were residents of Brookdale Westlake Hills. They both shared a room there and were well taken care of. It was a very nice and clean facility with excellent food, nursing, and support services. The staff was very professional and friendly. The room size was adequate. It was a two-room room, and each had a television and a separating curtain if they needed it. It was a good facility. My parents were comfortable there. My dad complained about his bed, so they switched the bed out. I saw people playing bingo, doing yoga, and stretching and exercises. You get what you pay for, and you have to pay a lot to get top quality. So, it's expensive."

"I toured Volante of Sage Springs. Compared to others, every aspect was exceptional. Their staff, cleanliness, and the look and feel of walking from assisted living into memory care were seamless. There are other facilities that, once you walk into memory care, you know you're in memory care. It doesn't have the same intensiveness. The staff was very friendly, thorough, and caring."

"My mother is in New Haven Assisted Living and Memory Care - Kyle. The place is always clean and it doesn't smell. It has a very homey atmosphere. The staff is friendly, and my mom's getting excellent care there. They do have activities, and the food is always good, but they are a little heavy on carbs. Physical therapy comes in because they don't have a therapy room."

"My mother has moved into The Philomena Assisted Living and Memory Care. We chose it basically because it was very close to where I'm living now. It's very nice and very clean. The rooms are nice. The staff members are amazing and take care of everything that they need to take care of. That's another big thing why we liked it so much. They have a laundry room if you still want to do your own laundry. The little kitchenette is nice in my mom's apartment. They have a movie room, a little library, and two different courtyards if the seniors want to sit outside. There are so many other things. We haven't even gotten to them all. It's right around the same price as a lot of the other ones, but they were willing to kind of work with us and give us some added discounts."

"I like everything about The Blake at New Braunfels. It was my number one choice for the room size, staffing, and the upkeep of the building. It's also brand new. It's about 2 years old, so that's good. What I liked least about it was that the availability of the room wasn't what I needed. Everything was perfect about this place. I liked it so much. The atmosphere was very congenial. There's a lot of lighting from all the windows around the building in the common areas. The dining room was excellent. The layout was excellent."

"So so thankful I found this place. Its been rough finding a real caring place for my wife and Alzheimer's. Last two were disasters. Total opposite here. caregivers truly care, leader cares, patience is exceptional. Again very thankful I was able to get in. Good people here."

"My mother has been a resident for approx. 3 years. This is a wonderful, caring facility with the feel of a boarding house and family meals in a nice pastoral setting. Janice is a tremendous, kind-hearted caregiver as is her assistant, Katie. Pets are sometimes permitted as well and my mother has had her cat living with her to her great joy. Great people, great facility. "
