The Best Independent Living Communities in Tarrant County, TX

"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."

"Atria Hometown in NRH has been an amazing partner to our family as Mom prepared to move into her senior apartment. She knew that Atria was the place where she would move when the day came that she would leave her house, but was not prepared to do so when a life-changing health event occurred in late June. Mary at Atria was with us every step of the way as we prepared to move Mom in by early August. The apartment is beautiful. The services are thoughtfully organized. The people are kind and helpful. What a wonderful place to live!"

"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."

"I scheduled a tour with StoneCreek of North Richland Hills and was greeted by the gal who does the tours. My first impression was they have skylights everywhere. It's very open and very light. All the other facilities I've been did not have any natural light. StoneCreek of North Richland Hills has real high ceilings with natural light and the rooms are all surrounding the open area. They have a big open space and a dog park there. We bring our dogs pretty much everywhere with us so when my husband is going to be there, he'd like to see the dogs. He can't keep a dog there in the memory care, but I can bring them and sit outside. That impressed me. They have a $500 deposit that's refundable. It just puts you on the list and there is not a commitment. If they come to my name and my husband is not ready, they just go to the next person on the list. The community is very nice. I think it's fairly new because I remember watching it being built."

"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."

"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'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."

"It had all three levels of care, but I visited the independent living. They told me that it was only built five years ago. It was good, but the rooms were probably average. I saw the dining area. They had three meals a day and there was a snack area where you could pick up snacks any time of the day. For the size of the facility, the dining area seemed to be small, but they told me that if you would go for independent living, you can eat in the assisted living dining room as well. I met one staff member, and she was friendly. She knew what she was talking about. It looked like an apartment building. It's four stories. It seemed to be clean."

"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 toured The Spring at Silverton. It was a nice community, but I'm on disability, and my income is not enough to get me in there. The staff who gave the tour were very friendly and helpful. The food was okay, and the rooms and common areas were nice."

"I like The Vantage at Cityview. It looked like they had lots of activities. My dad's wife seems to be very excited about it, and my dad likes it. It's close to her doctors and where they live right now. I think that's the primary reason. The lady seemed nice. And my dad's wife is excited because she can smoke there, but not inside. Everybody was extremely nice, too."

"My mother is in the independent living area. She has a nice one bedroom apartment that is spacious and has a fully equipped kitchen. There are plenty of activities she can enjoy. It is apparent that the staff really tries to keep the residents engaged and active. The meals are well-prepared and there are multiple choices to select. We have eaten with her a couple of times and were pleased with the quality and serving size."

"I toured The Waterford at Fort Worth, and everything was nice. The rooms were nice, and the whole setup was good. It looked clean, and the staff was great."

"I liked Heritage Place Independent Living. It was nice, clean, and updated, and they have a washing machine available that you can use, and you don't have to go out. They do laundry, but it's $50 a month if they do your clothes, and they do your towels and sheets free. They clean your apartment once a month. I liked the lady director who took me around. She was very personable. The food was good, and there was nothing I disliked about it. The staff was good, especially the lady that we took the tour with and the people that we met in the dining room. They were all personable. It smelled good. I didn't see anything out of order in the places that I went."
