Independent Living Communities in Waco, TX

"I visited and I really liked it. It seemed very open and friendly. It seemed that everybody got along there. It's very nice. The staff members were very friendly and willing to help meet your needs. They get things done, and they were very nice. The room they showed me was very nice, and it's the perfect size for me. The biggest thing is that they keep the staff active. They play bingo. They have all kinds of activities, movies, and things like that. I liked the overall tour experience."

"We had an in-person tour of The Delaney at Lake Waco. I can't think of anything negative. Their air conditioner happened to be out the day we were there on one section of it, but it was a rarity. The facility appears to be brand new. Everything was clean. All of the workers were very friendly. The staff took us on the tour. She knew a lot of the residents' names and introduced us to them. She offered us to bring my dad and have lunch or breakfast. She showed us the rooms, the activities that they were doing, and the outdoor area. We toured the whole thing, and it was very nice. We really liked it. The staff member was great. She was very positive. We weren't rushed through the tour. She took her time and showed us all the different things. They have a wall for all the military where they put their pictures up on the wall, and it was really neat. It's a huge building. It's three stories tall. The memory care is on the first floor. It was very clean and seemed to be very organized. When we were there they were all in an exercise class."

"I went to Stilwell Retirement. I love the surroundings of the outside. It's nice, comfortable, and cool, and that's what my sister is used to. That's what caught my attention when I saw it because it's a lot of shade. And she likes being outside because she used to run a ranch and they had cows and everything, and she likes that kind of background. When I went inside, the lady at the reception was nice. She tried to find someone who could help me and since she couldn't she did it herself. She showed me all the little rooms and stuff that they do activities. And she showed me the bedroom, the washing room and all this. And they had a little store. I was impressed about that because my sister loves to snack. And then I met some of the residents and they were so nice. They welcomed us. So, I will bring her down here sometime next week. But it was a nice place, nice and clean. I've seen the trays go through. I didn't get the chance to stop at the eating time, but I've seen a couple of trays and the food looks good. The place is cozy and comfortable. And if I had somewhere to go, that's where I want to go."

"My parents have been at Emerald Cottages of Waco for several years now. They like it there. They like its location, their fellow residents, and they like the facilities. They like their apartments, it is very well done. It's upscale, for what it is. The facilities are nice, the grounds are nice, and the price reflects it. The staff is nice. However, since it's independent living, their interaction with the staff is more limited than it would be if they were in assisted living."

"Well what to say about the best Apartment Homes in Waco? They're simply the best you're gonna find in town. From the diverse well informed Managers to the skilled Maintenance Staff. These are the most caring understanding and friendly people. The activities they provide are very nice. The grounds and security are more than adequate. Yes it is nice, if you are looking for peace and quiet in an up environment like I was. This the place to be. "

"My mother moved into Providence Village in Waco. So far they have been great. The facility is well kept, clean, and maintained. The food is good, they are very well fed. Even with COVID still going on they are not doing 100 percent of their activities yet, they're at about 50 percent to 60 percent of them, so there's still a lot going on. They do bingo, obviously. As a matter of fact they never even stopped bingo. They set the chairs up outside everybody's room and call bingo from the hallway. They have church service there, they have two different ones, a Catholic organization and a non-denominational service. They are still doing some of the activities where they take people to places, not the doctors' appointments, but out shopping. Still going on some of the field trips where it is safe. Once a week they have what they call "afternoon delight," which can vary from cookies, cakes, and ice cream. Just something to bright up the week. I have eaten there only once, but my mother says the food is really good and I know they actually have a chef there. As for activities, they are doing more than any other place. Eventually, they will get back to doing everything that they were doing. For the price, I think they are probably on the lower end considering all that they provide."
