The Best Assisted Living Communities in Tarrant County, TX

"The Waterford on Cooper seemed to be fine and nice. I wouldn't say anything negative. It just had a little small odor, and that's about it. The lady that I had dealt with was excellent at explaining everything and showing me how everything worked in the facility. She showed me two different rooms. One was an efficiency that didn't really have a lot of stuff in there."

"Brookdale North Richland Hills was beautiful. The staff was very knowledgeable. They gave me a lot of different avenues to try to get my mom taken care of and get someone out to assess her. They're still checking on me because my mom is in an inpatient rehab facility, so they're just waiting. It's a large community and they had lots of activities to keep them busy like exercises and stuff. It's amazing."

"We toured Bethesda Gardens Assisted Living, Arlington. What I liked about it was the staff, the cleanliness, and the layout. The facility was clean and well-kept."

"We toured the Good Place. They have large garden pots, and when the residents want to plant, they have pots for them, and they can tend to their flowers. I thought that was very nice. I met a resident that was a good ambassador for the place and also the manager there. The one room we saw was under renovation, but we saw a resident's room, and that was very helpful. They have transportation to doctors' visits."

"My Mom has lived here for 5 years. She enjoys being able to be independent in her apartment and being able to have her belongings with her. She also was able to bring her dog with her which meant the world to her. Some places do not allow pets and that wouldn’t have worked for my Mom. Their staff has always been friendly and very accommodating. The facility itself is beautiful and it’s always clean and warm feeling. I would recommend this facility to anyone looking for a great place for their loved one."

"Tender Care Home for Adults 1 was nice. That's more of a group home setting. The staff seemed very knowledgeable. It's very neat and clean. I liked the fact that they had all the women in one house. It wasn't mixed with male and female. The lady was very nice and was willing to work with my mother if she went back from the hospital. It's a three- or four-bedroom house. It's pretty large with a nice-sized backyard, and they have a nice sitting area. She had it pretty well upgraded."

"I scheduled a tour with StoneCreek of North Richland Hills and was greeted by the gal who does the tours. My first impression was they have skylights everywhere. It's very open and very light. All the other facilities I've been did not have any natural light. StoneCreek of North Richland Hills has real high ceilings with natural light and the rooms are all surrounding the open area. They have a big open space and a dog park there. We bring our dogs pretty much everywhere with us so when my husband is going to be there, he'd like to see the dogs. He can't keep a dog there in the memory care, but I can bring them and sit outside. That impressed me. They have a $500 deposit that's refundable. It just puts you on the list and there is not a commitment. If they come to my name and my husband is not ready, they just go to the next person on the list. The community is very nice. I think it's fairly new because I remember watching it being built."

"This is a great place. Everyone is very friendly. I say it starts with management who encourage and are so welcoming. From my first meeting with Peggy and then Megan meeting with us to show my Dad around, we were sold. All of the staff do a great job. My Dad felt like it was his new home. Unfortunately, due to health issues, he had to move to a different community. He says his goal is to get strong enough to return to Eden Estates."

"All the caregivers are excellent. They do a really good job of taking care of my needs, while being friendly & cheerful."

"My father moved into Brookdale Tanglewood Oaks. I recommended this particular one because of the price, and my sister agreed to it. The staff seems nice, and most of them that I've talked to have been in that field for a long time. One of their rules is no visitation for a month. They are decent-sized rooms. The common areas seem fine. They've got little group activities that they do in a little area. The building is kind of a big circle, and they have an outdoor courtyard. I have no issues with them currently."

"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."

"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."

"We checked the assisted living at Bedford Estates Senior Living. However, since we also have concerns that my father-in-law may be having dementia maybe in the near future, we were also looking at someplace that he could possibly transition from one to the other, so I like that they have both assisted living and memory care. It would have been perfect; it would have been great. We talked with the nurse, and she was just a cute thing. She would have worked with my father-in-law's medications, so it would have been a really good idea. I also like that they have individual rooms that can be like their own apartment. They would still have their own space. Everyone I met there was lovely too. They have an area where they could go outside, but they wouldn't be bothered. It's like a little park. The building was built around a courtyard in the middle, so that was very nice. Dad would love that. With them having food and everything, it would have been like being at a restaurant all the time, so my father-in-law probably would have enjoyed that, too. We talked with the dietitians when we were there as well, and they would have prepared his meal exactly like he wanted it, so it was kind of nice too."

"The Ridglea Senior Living was awesome, but we just can't afford it. We really, really liked it. Everybody was happy there. The staff was all happy. The person I met, I really liked. It looked like the food was going to be good. They were doing activities, crafts, and different stuff when we were there. The rooms were large. The ones we were looking at were a pretty good size. The closets were good. I liked the way the kitchenette was arranged."
