"I went to The Inn at Los Patios. Good people, older community. The people were friendly. It's a secluded place. We had a positive experience. They have a yard. And then they had patios. So you had a patio with your balcony with your place. The staff was excellent and professional."

"We decided to visit Franklin Park Sonterra Senior Living San Antonio assisted living facility as we really liked the area and it is convenient for my brother's friend's family. From the time we got there, we could see that this is a very high end living environment. The building appeared very well maintained. The outer grounds featured a lovely courtyard with nice seating areas to enjoy. The dining rooms were beautiful and elegant. The many activity rooms and lounges were all nicely decorated. The accommodations resembled what could be found in a high-end motel.The activities ranged from board games, to discussions, private reading, watching film and TV and many hosted events. The staff is well-versed at taking care of a variety of types of people, from those who are not ambulatory - to people who have memory issues. The outside activities they plan regularly include a comprehensive and wide array of everything from visiting local restaurant favorites, and the public library to day trips to nearby regions. The living spaces were well-designed and spacious. All of the areas were pleasant to be in and we could see that the residents thought so, too. The furnishings and decor was quite luxurious. They have planned exercise classes - but also offer residents to work out any time they wish. We liked that they encourage exercise and make staff available for assistance. There was plenty of professional, yet friendly staff to take care of basic needs. Anyone who lived in this environment is sure to be quite content with the many amenities and activities here, while ensuring that all of their specific needs are met. "

"We visited The Waterford for my mother. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The entrance was very open, and airy. I enjoyed the lunch. I met with some of the staff, and some of the residents. I liked the room choices. The facility was expensive, but reasonably-priced. Overall, it may be next to the top-pick for my mom. They had a recreational director, too. At that time, we walked in on a group that was learning about the iPad. Somebody would come in once a week, and give a class on that. They would take you to medical appointments, too. "

"I will be moving into LIV at Westover Hills. I like that it's just behind the YMCA, which I use five days a week and I can walk to it. I don't have to keep driving. The apartment is good and it's less expensive. It's a 62-plus senior community. They have some issues, but the apartment is very nice. It meets my needs and I went by location and price. It's not perfect, but the apartment is for me. The young staff that's there is very good. She works hard, she's friendly, and she was pleasant. She took care of things. I don't have a complaint. They do not provide food. They've got a pool and an exercise room with equipment. They have a big area if you wanted to have company and have a huge meal. They've got a kitchen there that you can use. It met my needs. They have carpeting in the halls where people are dragging things and staining them. They're looking at trying to take that out and put down different flooring. That would be my only cleanliness issue, but they're working on it. The lobby is nice."

"I went to Independence Hill Retirement Community. The man said they would be serving lunch, but they didn't. They serve two meals a day, which is morning and night. They had everything there that's necessary. The apartments were nice and clean. The staff was very nice. They had a nice handout. I saw some people doing their exercises. She showed me the library, the books, and the bridge place. They also go on trips. I'm not sure it's for me, but I think it's a very nice place."

"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."

"Solea Alamo Ranch 55 yrs old plus is the best place to call home ! We have an awesome team , all the staff from community manager , assistant manager, sales & maintenance team are very accommodating, friendly, caring and always ready to assist & make sure everything is working properly . I highly recommend Solea Alamo Ranch !!"

"I had an in-person tour of Landon Ridge Alamo Ranch. Everything was good. The food was excellent. They provide two meals a day, but they're very substantial. They have everything. They have maid service. You can have a washer and dryer in your apartment. They have a theater, a pool, and four or five libraries. The facility was very clean, and it felt very secure. They do everything that all the other ones do. They do doctor runs and grocery shopping. They provide transportation within a ten-mile radius. The facility was very well laid out. I liked the bathrooms that had a lot of handrails. They had a lot of resting places, like benches along the hallways. The people there seemed to be more mobile."

"Emerald Oaks is off the charts. It is set up like a cruise ship. They have live entertainment. Their dining facility is already set up like a banquet room, but then they leave a space on the floor for people to dance. They also have the chef in the kitchen, so anything you did not want to eat from the regular schedule, you could order it. With them, if you did not feel like coming downstairs from your room, you could call your order in and they would deliver it to your room. They have an exercise room, a whirlpool tub, and a fitness room. If people want to get into the whirlpool after they finish their exercising, they could. "

"We toured Ensemble Senior Living. It seemed comfortable, affordable, and people seemed to be enjoying their time there. It ensembles like an apartment tower. It's very nice to see. We took the elevator. They have pool tables and a bar. The staff was excellent."
