Independent Living Communities in Mesquite, TX

"Everything is very nice. The food is great, and the people are very nice. The apartment was big, which was the main positive. We tried to get my mom into another place and couldn't get in, so we're on a waiting list. The bedroom and the living room were large and felt more like a home. They have classes and all kinds of things, so it's nice."

"My experience has been excellent. I've been here for one year and three months. Everybody has been cooperative and helpful. I've recommended a couple of people to come in and I'll keep doing that. The permanent and rotating menus are very good. The chef gets the fish from Veracruz and he know's what he's doing. The desserts are super. The entertainment is good -- they have a great happy hour. They don't discriminate. They like everybody"

"The rooms are specious. The staff is easily available. They are positive. I like playing chess with others living here. There are other pleasant activities that I can join, when I want to. Bus transportation is great! There are varied amenities offered - too many to mention here."

"I've already moved into Ariel Pointe of Sachse. I'm pretty settled here. They're a wonderful place. A friend recommended it. There are parks and sidewalks very close to the place. I walk my dog early and late and it's safe. There are lots of trees and playgrounds. There's a lot of space. This place is very dog friendly. Everybody is very friendly. The apartment itself is really wonderful. It's very roomy. What I like is the bang for the buck, and the food is good. They have lots of programs that are free and included. It's just better than any other place that I've visited. I'm in independent living. Also connected to it is assisted living, but it's in a separate building farther down. A little bit farther down is memory care. They're closer to the road, and I'm farther back. The only problem that I have with any of the staff is that there's a little lack of communication among staff members because you might get a different answer from a different person. I was told that the dogs are welcome everywhere except in the dining hall. I was just walking past and I wanted to say hello to one of my friends, and they told me I couldn't bring the dog into one of the activity rooms. A different staff member had told me the dogs would be welcome everywhere except the lunchroom. I was a little confused about that. My key was not cut properly, and I had to send it back to be recut for the mailbox. Some of the staff are perfect, but some of them maybe didn't read their instructions or forgot. The food is excellent. They offer a lot of activities, but some of the things were offered and we couldn't find them. It was like the dates or the people who were presenting the activities had changed. They have a dog spa room and they furnish the shampoos. They furnish so much that I'm amazed. They furnish the security alert that you wear around your neck. They cover any bills or anything so far as electricity, internet, cable, WiFi, and Alexa. Everything's covered. I'm dropping memberships and all sorts of things that I was paying when I had a house. I looked at some other places that were more expensive for less room and less amenities. I've got almost a thousand square feet here. I have two bedrooms, two baths, a great room with a fully furnished kitchen. It's got a range, a microwave, a very large refrigerator, two big walk-in closets, and a storage room off the covered patio."

"We're very happy with Edgemere. It's very clean. The people are pleasant. They take good care of us. The meals are good. Maintenance and housekeeping are all good. They have a Bible study that we go to. They have a lot. We do movies and stuff. It's worth the money."

"Liberty Heights is wonderful, perfect, and has very good atmosphere. They have chef-prepared meals three times a day for dad, with waiters and waitresses that wait on him. The whole setup is just three years old, so everything is very new. His apartment is great; it has a patio and putting green. They have Bingo, gardening, twice-a-week shopping trips, and twice-a-week trips to entertainment and ball games. Dad likes that there's a lot of men there and that they have a veterans' group. "

"I thought the independent living community of The Reserve at North Dallas was nice, if you like the idea of living in a high-end hotel. It's like a 4-star hotel. Some people wouldn't like that, but I thought it was good. The staff members who assisted us were really good. I remember looking at the place and thinking that it was much nicer than the other place we visited, and that the prices were better. We had a meal there, too, but the food wasn't anything special. For its location, this place is probably as good as you were going to get, price-wise, in Dallas."

"I'm at The Wellington at Arapaho. I've been here for almost five weeks and the experience has been wonderful. The people are friendly. I've been involved in a lot of activities like bingo, Skip-Bo, and different games. I also go to a chair exercise class in the morning three days a week. They have happy hour with entertainment every Friday right before our dinner. It's friendly and sociable. The atmosphere is very nice. I know I haven't been here as long as others, but it has been a really good experience for me. They offer food and transportation for shopping, grocery, Wal-Mart, CVS, anywhere you need to go to get your business done. Tuesday and Thursday, they offer transportation to any medical appointments. We went to Braum's for ice cream one afternoon. Things like that make it much easier. It's very aesthetic. The paintings they've put on the walls (walking down the hallways to your room and to different areas) are very easy on the eyes. There are beautiful sceneries. It's very clean. I have a balcony that overlooks the courtyard, which is really nice to sit out and relax. I've done that a few times. It is a nice view. They clean our rooms, and the staff is very efficient and does a really good job. I do my personal laundry, but the cleaning person washes our sheets and towels for us, along with cleaning the apartment. I believe I'm getting my money's worth. Sometimes, the food is just not hot enough, and that would be my only complaint. I usually try the vegetable first because I like my vegetables warm, and sometimes they just aren't warm enough for me."

"I visited The El Dorado's independent living community, and I liked it. It was smaller than a lot of them. It was only 100 units, and the people were very friendly. I liked the grounds, too. They had a nice walking path in their yard around the building, and I liked that. I like the dining situation, too. You ate three meals a day in the dining hall, and they had lots of snacks and coffee at any time. There were a lot of things that I liked about it. I felt that the rooms were really small, but at least they had a balcony. Each of them had a balcony or a way to walk out, and I like that about it. I just felt like they didn't have any room that had a little den or an office space. The kitchenette was also just simply a little sink with a little counter and barely big enough to hold a coffee pot, so I thought they were way too small. I didn't mind that they didn't have a stove, but they had no place to put a microwave or something, and you'd have to bring in your own shelving and furniture to hold anything else for that kitchen. The minute you put the microwave on your own furniture, you were already going into the living room because it was so tiny and so close. That was the only thing I didn't like about it. We were not able to sample the food, but they did show us a menu, and it was really extensive. It was very good, and they had choices. They had the nightly one that they would publish that they were going to have, and then if you didn't like any of that, you could have a choice of other things, like a hamburger or something like that. They had a lot of really good amenities, and the lady who took us around was very good."

"It is a place for older people, sixty-five years old and above. My mother had a fracture in the back so she had to be there. They have a doctor on-call, worked with her in physical therapy and they have an exercise program after she finished her rehab. She's now ready to move out after two and a half months. I'm very impressed that once a week you can get your hair done and they have a lot of entertainment for the patients if they chose to go to them. The rest of the patients are wheelchair bound but they still have opportunities to do things. The staff was kind and loving to her. I'm really impressed with the care they take for their patients. "

"I toured The Bentley. The people were very nice here. It was very warm, fuzzy, and friendly. It was nice, but it's just that the location was not ideal for somebody. If you're just staying there all day and being bused around, but if you're trying to work a part-time job, it is not conducive for an older person, or even me, I'm older, but in my age group. The apartments were nice. They were up to date. A couple of them were very small, but for the price, I thought that's pretty typical nowadays."

"Atria Canyon Creek is so far very nice and the people are friendly. I have a small 2-bedroom, the staff cleans every other week and provide 2 meals a day. The staff members are very nice and respectful. They have basic cable, we're not doing much now because of the virus but there are lots of activities like going out to watch plays and concerts. The meals are provided in my room right now because of the virus, otherwise, we have a dining room with tables that each seat six which is good for conversation. There are a variety of rents for same-sized apartments. People tend to come in with lower rates then they go up about 10% a year. So that's the drawback, after several years people tend to move out because they can no longer afford the rent."

"The Waterford at Plano had a friendly staff. They showed me their dining room, barbershop, library, and their common area. It's currently under renovation right now. So, when I got there, all of the furniture was pushed out of the way, because they were putting down new flooring. Other than that, it was a clean place."
