Independent Living Communities in Southlake, TX

"This is a great place. Everyone is very friendly. I say it starts with management who encourage and are so welcoming. From my first meeting with Peggy and then Megan meeting with us to show my Dad around, we were sold. All of the staff do a great job. My Dad felt like it was his new home. Unfortunately, due to health issues, he had to move to a different community. He says his goal is to get strong enough to return to Eden Estates."

"Lived in a patio home for 4 years and enjoyed every minute of it. The home was spacious and comfortable. Full kitchen, laundry room, separate dining room. Large 2 bed 2 bath with HUGE CLOSETS, large living room, and a lovely front porch with a small front yard. Large enough for my flower pots. yard art, and Christmas decorations. The staff run by Nancy is Excellent as is Jenelle the concierge, Hector the chef, every staff member was dedicated, kind and knowledgeable.. they organized and ran so o o many fun programs everyday. Thank you all for your dedication in helping Senior live their better lives."

"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."

"My mother-in-law, now 91, lived at Parkwood IL for over a year. She loved her apartment, the residents, the staff, the ability to sit outside and enjoy the courtyard environment, relished the entertainment, and was quite content with the food variety and preparation of meals. As a widow over 30 years who was becoming increasingly isolated, the socialization with the friendly residents was paramount. Had it not been for dementia and cancer, she would still be there today!"

"I will move into Pinewood Hills. I chose them because the price was one thing, and when I went to visit, I fell in love with it the minute I walked through the door. The staff was awesome, the food was wonderful, and I got an apartment that I will enjoy. Everybody was absolutely wonderful. The lady who took my application and showed me the apartments was fantastic. The manager was as sweet as can be and would pop in every once in a while, just to be friendly. The receptionist at the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. The activities director was a wonderful person and kept the people very busy. It makes you feel like it's home and that everybody matters. I have a hard time thinking. I looked at the model first, but they weren't completely ready. She let me go ahead and look at it anyway, and that's the one I chose. It is large enough for me to bring all the belongings I want. I have a sleeper couch, and there's room for that, so my daughter can visit me. It's not an oversized apartment, but big enough for everything I need. Since I'm a musician, I can have all my music in there. They have a full dining room with table service. They have a daily menu, but they also offer other choices and options besides that. So, you've got about five or six different things to choose from. The main course they had was 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."

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

"The rooms at Lewisville Estates were fantastic and had a lot of room. The facility was very nice. It had a lot of common areas for people to meet. They had events going on while we were there, and people out visiting. We got to see two different rooms and two different sizes. At that point, that's when we had walked over to the other section as well, but the assisted living was great. The dining area was very nice. It allowed other residents to visit with each other and have dinner or lunch together. They had flowers on the tables. The staff was very friendly and very communicative. We got there at our appointed time, and she was delayed by a little bit, but we were always in the know that she would be coming to meet with us. It wasn't an inordinate amount of time we had to wait, and then when we were able to do the tour, she spent quite a bit of time with us."

"I'm a resident at The Remington at Valley Ranch. It's clean. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Their work attitude is very good. The reason I've given the food a four instead of a five is the variety. They do housekeeping every other week here, and they do a very good job. They offer card games, other games, music, and entertainment. Compared to other communities, I think the prices are very good."

"The bedrooms at Emerson at Rosemeade Park were just too small. The community was nice and clean and everybody working there was very engaging. The only problem we found was the bedrooms were too tiny for the furniture that my sibling needed to put into the apartment. Other than that, the place was beautiful. It was very well kept up. The dining area was very clean and it seemed that the people are very engaging."

"I moved into Lake Forest Village. I chose them because of the attitude of all their employees here. They made you feel very comfortable. My apartment is one of the smallest ones, but it's comfortable. The food is excellent. The staff, including everyone I've interacted with, has been very helpful and polite. The facility looks like it's very well-maintained. It seems like they take pride in this place. I haven't gotten into the activities yet, but they have quite a few available to me. As for the value, it's in line with everybody else. It's not overpriced, but it's not underpriced."

"Lakeview at Josey Ranch was extremely comfortable. It was built there with the senior residents in mind. All the furniture in the foyer when you entered was comfortable. The staff was on duty 24-hours a day, which was wonderful. We had a large lake behind it. As far as the scenery and everything, it was wonderful. It was right close to a couple of pharmacies and the location was wonderful. It was a nice place. They had five elevators. It was a larger place. The staff is almost perfect. They had people answering the phone and some of them were more conscious than others. They would leave the phone sometimes, but overall it was excellent service. The manager was very nice and conscientious of the needs of the residents. The maintenance people were on top of it. The food was excellent. They had three different meals prepared for just that day. You had different things you could order from the left side or the right side of the menu. Every Sunday they had a buffet style. They had about 12 of the stainless steel covered items lined up for you to get things from the buffet. The food was always very delicious. They had people serving you like a restaurant. They had tablecloths on the tables. They had ice cream for dessert. The common areas were very comfortable. We could go and visit each other. The mailboxes were to the left of the dining hall. They have the little humps in the door that your scooter or your walker could have trouble getting over. The activities were not very often. Other than entertaining, you could go play games and things if you wanted to. I did exercise four times a week and did yoga four times a week, and I loved that. It's worth it, for the value, for the staff, the facility itself, and the comfort. When you walk in the building you get a comfortable feeling."

"We toured Discovery Village At Castle Hills. We liked it very much. It was our favorite. It had a nice apartment. The rooms were lovely and great, and the size was good. Everybody was super friendly, and they had wonderful amenities. They have a pool, which I like. Outside of the pool, I thought that the amenities were pretty typical of all the others in terms of being full of activity and full of things to do, but I was more impressed with the Discovery Village than the other two. I didn't see anything that I didn't like. It was just the closets that I didn't think were wonderful, and they didn't have double sinks in the bathroom. Another thing I liked about Discovery Village was that it had a washer and dryer and covered parking, which was reasonable. Stephanie was great, very informative, and organized. I also liked their dinner hours. They had breakfast and then dinner or lunch combined from 11:30 to 6:00, which was cool."

"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."
