Independent Living Communities in Burleson, TX

"Arlington Plaza was very nice and well-kept. The apartment was a nice size. The eating area was good. The staff was very nice. They engage with the clients there. I didn't observe any activities, but I saw a list of the activities, and it seemed like they had enough to keep your interests."

"My mom moved to Morada Lake Arlington, and the big deciding factor was that I have a special needs brother, and he was able to find a place there with her as well. They were able to get a two-bedroom unit within the facility. All of their activities and the super welcoming environment have been great and accommodating for both my mom and brother. They have everything they both need, which makes things extra great because he's not a senior citizen. So, him being able to still reside with her and have a lot of engaging activities and stuff going on was a big selling point. My mom and brother say the food is fantastic."

"My mother-in-law is in here. I visited several places and when I went in, everyone was very nice and cordial, but for some reason, that place just gave me the impression that they were all very caring. For one thing, it wasn't just the fact they were caring. It was the residents there that made me feel at home also. They all would just pass by me and start talking to me. That impressed me more than anything as far as the rest of them. All of the people just were so, so friendly, the staff, residents, everyone. That's how my mother-in-law is. She talks to everyone and I said she will love this place and she does. They provide three meals a day and snacks during the daytime. I ate with her the first night and we had an awesome meal of barbecued chicken wings and it was awesome. She goes at least to two meals a day. She chose a studio because she doesn't really have a lot and she absolutely loves that she has a backdoor that goes to a patio. That sold her as much as the people being so sweet and so nice. They have exercise classes and they have all kinds of games. Her main thing was they do have a church service on Wednesday. Even last night when I went to visit her, she made me take a bite of her taco salad and it was good. Everything looks really good. I visited several of the rooms too, and they were all really nice."

"I toured The Westmore's assisted living, and it was very nice. If I could afford it, I would go to that place, but they're way too expensive. The rooms were very nice, but were a little bit smaller."

"I went to visit Morada Pantego. The grounds were well-kept. When you walked in, there was no clutter or anything of that nature. It looked very nice. One staff member toured with me and showed me one of the rooms. They were very nice and pleasant. They liked what they did. The dining area was nice. It wasn't crowded. You didn't feel like you had to sit very close together. The room was nice; I did get to see that. For one person, it was great."

"I'm in Emerson South Collins. They have a lot of people in here who should be in assisted living, but that's my personal opinion. What I like best are the people and the staff. Everybody's friendly. They look out for each other. The staff is also very caring. It's institutional food. The structure is old, but they're upgrading it constantly. They're getting ready to start again on the third floor. Every morning, there's a coffee and conversation. There's an exercise. They have seven activities a day. They have a book club, bingo, card club, and dominoes. I like my room. It's great. I have a one-bedroom, and it's perfect for me."

"I visited The Lakes at Grand Prairie senior apartments. They are very professional, very clean, and have a good homey feeling. The apartment was a little small, but it was nice and clean. They have a lot of activities like games and swimming. They also have a calendar of all the social events. The staff who helped me during the tour were very professional."

"Having my husband at Harvest of Aledo as a resident has been nice. When you put someone in a home like that, it's an adjustment for everyone and they have done well at learning who my husband is as a person, as well as his likes and dislikes, when he wants this, when he wants that. They've been very accommodating. He's in a room with a roommate, but there is a wall between them. So, it makes it feel a little more like it's your room and not sharing a room with another person. It's a newer facility. It's only two years old. Harvest of Aledo is owned by a company that has multiple senior citizen facilities throughout the United States and they've done a really good job. It's a beautiful facility and all the seniors seemed to be happy there. We just had a very large Thanksgiving dinner that they put on last Thursday, to which the families were invited. There were so many people who came that they had to have two different settings in the two big dining rooms that they had. So, that was nice. They've already taken my husband out on a field trip, too. They went and got cheeseburgers and shakes from a famous little shop out here in Weatherford. They loaded them all up and took them out there. They have a chef on board, so their meals are good."

"The food is great. The employees are fabulous."

"My parents are residents of Morada Meadow Lakes, and I liked everything about it. They get two meals daily, six days a week, and one on Sundays. It's a lively facility. They do exercises. They have plans for them to do something every day, and they take them to the stores. The staff is good. They come and clean the apartment, wash some of the linens, and if my parents can't make it down for lunch they take it to their room. They play bingo. They have movie and poker nights. They've got puzzles, pool tables, and an exercise room."

"I toured Legacy Oaks of Midlothian Senior Living. It's nice and beautiful. They had a lot of activities and things to do, and people working there assisting the patients. It was larger than the other facility. The other facility only holds 16 memory care patients, and we learned that Legacy Oaks holds 23, but they were full and had a waiting list. The staff seemed to be very kind and very concerned with their patient. It felt very home in the memory care area."

"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."

"I toured The Retreat Senior Living. It was a very nice place. The staff was very nice. The rooms that I saw were roomy and spacious. They had an outdoor heated swimming pool, and the courtyard was just gorgeous."

"I went to look at Morada Cedar Hill. The thing that I like best is that they have independent living and assisted living facilities on campus. The facility was very clean. It's kept up very well. They have a lot of activities. They offer three meals a day. They have a movie night. They take them shopping and offer transportation for their residents. They also have housekeeping services. The person who I talked to seemed to be very knowledgeable and pleasant."
