Creekside Pines Retirement Community

The price in Creekside Pines was a little high for us, but they were certainly good. The rooms were a little on the smaller side, but it was still decent-sized. The place wasn't very open, and the configuration wasn't as good as the previous community we visited.

When my father went to Creekside Pines, he was ecstatic because he said it felt like everybody was alive. They were very engaged and didn’t feel like they were just sitting around. We walked in, and it felt like home. Everything they have there is wonderful, like an ice cream shop that you go in, like in the olden times. The dining room was fantastic. They actually had a movie going on that night. The person who gave us the tour was great. It was a wonderful experience.

My mother has lived -- quite happily -- in Creekside Pines for over two years. There's no denying it's costly, but competitive when compared to other independent living facilities. This is what we like: Mom's apartment is spacious and comfortable. Electricity is included in the rent, as is heating and air, which residents control in their units. The staff is excellent: kind, caring, solicitous and honest. Meals are served restaurant-style throughout the course of the day. I don't think the food is as tasty and nutritious as it could be, but nobody goes hungry. The facility is beautifully maintained. I disagree with the person who commented that it can use an upgrade. Check out the library, theater room, game room, soda shop, Each floor has a lovely screened-in porch in addition to a ground floor bbq area, perfect for warm weather events. *** Creekside Pines provides entertainment, activities -- even a weekly happy hour with frequent specialty drinks! There are regular trips to stores in Dallas and Hiram, as well as transportation to local medical facilities. Having looked at a number of senior residences, my family is very happy with our decision to choose Creekside Pines.

My impression of Creekside Pines is very good. The rooms are nice. The living area is big. I just saw one-bedroom units. The dining area is nice. They play cards. Some people were sitting at a little ice cream shop and talking. The facility has washers and dryers. There is an activities calendar, and it seems like there are a lot of activities going on.

Creekside Pines was good. The room was nice, roomy, and bright with plenty of light. The cost was much more than what I make with social security. The dining area was nice and large. We had lunch there, and the food was good. The residents were in good spirits. The staff was wonderful; the lady that gave us the tour was very good and very nice.

I am going to move to Creekside Pines. I am impressed with their activities because they go to events and museums and things like that. That’s the main thing, plus their price is very good. The only problem with it is the building is dated and needs some updating. They have card games, exercise program, and seem to have everything that I will want. They have an open meal plan, so you can eat any time of the day you want. If you do not want what’s in the menu, they will make you a hamburger or a hotdog. It seems to be a perfect actually. The staff is very friendly, very easy to work with, and answer my questions when I email them or ask for something. They will take you grocery shopping, to doctors' appointments, and anywhere you want to go within 10 miles from the facility.

The staff is great. Food is very good. Lots of activities. Very nice place. Mom is very happy, making new friends, getting lots more activity on a day to day basis. Also pricing is very reasonable compared to other facilities. Compares very favorably to places that cost twice as much.

We visited Creekside Pines. It was a very friendly place, and we knew some people there.
