Independent Living Communities in Abilene, TX

"There's nothing that I don't like about Wisteria Place Senior Living & Memory Care. I like that there's someone there 24 hours a day to make sure that my father is okay. They provide the meals for him and everyone there is very friendly. The staff is excellent. The food was good. He likes it. The facility is very clean, and the structure is very well-built. They play bingo, they play cards, and they have puzzles. So, they're always doing activities and the staff is always interacting with the residents. They also have Margarita Wednesdays. It's a little pricey, but it's OK. The atmosphere felt good. It's very friendly. It feels more like a home environment."

"I visited University Place. I enjoyed the facility and the way it was presented. I enjoyed the hospitality and the goods. They have a variety of floor plans, and I found two or three of them very likable. I like its location for shopping, restaurants and places to eat. It's a good area to get out and walk. It's a safe area to walk during the day and get into exercise. They have facilities there that are great. The menu options are excellent. They serve three meals. It's not cafeteria style. You go in and sit down, and they come in and wait on you. The staff who gave the tour is knowledgeable, very pleasant, respectful, and easy to talk with. I was invited to the tour at lunchtime, and I did have a meal there. They have excellent choices and a display of the food. I opted for an egg salad sandwich, which was great. The place was clean. The entry foyer area was well presented. They have a couple of courtyards that you can go into. There's a gazebo on the grounds. It's securely fenced; it was great."

"Lyndale Abilene Senior Living was alright. They not only have a building for independent living, but they also have a building for assisted living. They have a full kitchen. They have a couple of outdoor spaces. It is also a convenient walk to a Subway sandwich shop and an ice cream shop. It was well presented. The person in charge of the tour was very good. When I was there, they were having a happy hour with quite an array of finger foods to go along with it."

"I looked at Wisteria Place Retirement Living and I was very impressed with the overall feel of the facility. It is an older place, but it's very nice and felt very welcoming. The staff there appears to be terrific, and I'm excited about possibly using that facility. They have a calendar of activities, they had bingo, arts and crafts, workout sessions, card games, and Bible study. There's something every day on the schedule. The staff members seemed very relaxed and intently going about their business, doing what they needed to do. It's an older facility but they're doing upgrades on the flooring and improving it."

"Wesley Court Senior Living was top-notch. I could afford to go there, but I don't want to spend all my money there. It was quite opulent. They have a couple of nice ponds and some houses. If you have the money, you can enjoy yourself there. They have a lot of outdoor space. They have apartments that are large enough that you wouldn't feel like your furniture is cramped together. It is spacious. I felt like the lady could have been more conversational, though. It almost felt like I was in a business meeting. It was a very elegant place."

"My mother was in Mesa Springs facility for rehab after falling and breaking her hip. We were really worried about her being in a facility without my sister or I being there. My mother is 91years old and looks at all things as an obstacle to overcome. She had a wonderful experience. She meet so many wonderful and caring people.The food was great. The room was spacious. They did her therapy in her room because of Covid. They called to let me know what was going on with her during this time. My mother said it was as an experience of a life time. I would agree."
