The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Guadalupe County, TX

"Discovery Village Stone Oak has been bought out and they've improved a lot. They've redecorated everything, so the place looks beautiful. It's a good place. I would recommend it. It's got about four floors and it's not an overwhelming amount of residents, just about the right amount to where they can give attention. They've got workers on each floor that come in. They can assist with whatever needs according to what different people need. They're friendly and attentive. They're not perfect, of course, they make mistakes sometimes, but they quickly try to rectify. The place is kept clean. The food is good and nutritious. They give them medication. They also provide activities. I would like it if the activities were a bit more than what they are, but they try. They had watermelon outside. For fiesta, they brought in some dancers, and that was really good. Everybody seemed to really enjoy that. I would like it if they would play some oldies but goodies music and engage them in conversation. They set up the table real nice and put orange juice and everything, but all the ladies are just sitting there looking at each other until they're served. Other than that, it's good. I've been overcharged a couple of times and still trying to rectify that. I would like some consistency on the billing. I would recommend them. They've been loyal, they're attentive to my mom, and I'm not disappointed that I'm there or anything. I'm happy we're there. The staff is really good. I would like it if they would have different food options. They keep spinning the same food over and over again. I've gotten bored with it, but it's delicious. My digestive system actually works better when I've eaten with Mom there a few times, so I know it's good for her, and I'm happy. There's a lot of people that have memory loss and they will put up signs in the elevator and everywhere and even bring it to the room telling them there's an activity. It was posted and everything, but unless they're reminded at the time, like knock on their door and say, "Hey, we got this going on. Would you like to join us?" They won't remember. They're creative, but they're not engaging them in enough conversation with each other. I think it's high priced, just like everything else is. I would still recommend them, and they're a good place to be in."

"Franklin Park Alamo Heights was very well run and beautifully maintained. It was an excellent facility. The staff was excellent. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained. I was very favorably impressed with Franklin Park, and I could picture myself there. I am concerned that it does not have skilled nursing. They just recommend a nursing home, if you need it. For me, that's not what I want. I want to be able to know that I'd be cared for on that campus. I want to know that I wouldn't have to scramble to find a place that would admit me, if I needed skilled nursing."

"I toured Franklin Park Sonterra. The community is beautiful, and it has multiple amenities that would make people feel very comfortable. The residents that were there were very friendly and welcoming. And they had a lot of security features that were also very nice. It looks like a wonderful property. The staff were very nice and very helpful. I liked their apartments. They were very spacious as well as suited for senior living. They had modern appliances. They had everything that would make all the conveniences and make living very easy for your loved ones."

"My tour of EdenHill Communities was very helpful. The staff who gave the tour talked to us and asked good questions to help me and also in the process gave me help with some of my thinking and doubts about the whole process. The tour was very clear and not pressured. It was very positive. It was also good because my daughter-in-law was there, and she had seen it, too, and so it was helpful. They showed me a studio. It's just a bedroom and a bathroom. There was a common space, and the people there seemed very content and were talking to each other. The dining areas looked fine. They have a barber area. Overall, I didn't see anything I didn't like. And the one in charge of it was great. I can see why he got promoted to that job. The place was clean and nice. And the floors are the same."

"Before moving to The Army Residence Community, we toured seven other like facilities from Florida to Texas. This community is by far the best value for the money spent than the others we visited. The staff is first class, the food is the best we have found in like facilities, the variety of living options from apartments to condos of various types, offers residents many options to call home. Facilities and resident-centered activities are in abundance. From the swimming pool to the first-class fitness center to the on-site rehab center, and an abundance of activities, residents have great opportunities for living a healthful and enjoyable lifestyle. We've lived here for over five years and wouldn't live anywhere else."

"I went to The Forum at Lincoln Heights. What I like most about The Forum are the amenities that it provides. It was clean and the location is close to shopping and churches. There's a covered heated pool where they do exercise. The staff is very knowledgeable and concerned about things that my mother likes."
