Memory Care Communities in Arlington, TX

"Once I saw Avalon, I realized this is not the type of care my mother needs. All the residents have memory issues, the doors are locked, and they don’t really have any activities. The residents are watched very closely. I went there twice and both times I didn’t see any staff interacting with the residents as the facility caters more to their safety. The kitchen is very open -- the kind where you can see everything, which is nice. The person who explained to us about living there was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. "

Avalon Memory Care has gone to great lengths to provide a mode of care that is uniquely tailored to the special needs of the Alzheimers victim. We are concerned with every phase of the residents needs (physical, emotional, and social). We work to restore and support the residents self esteem, dignity, and the resumption of as many of the daily personal tasks of which the resident is capable. Surrounded by family treasures and memories, the residents live in the comfort and privacy of their own rooms in a spacious, ranch style, one level home with built-in security features such as a secured patio and roomy backyard. They bond with and enjoy the companionship of other residents and inevitably form a family feeling that eliminates the loneliness or isolation often experienced in institutional settings. They enjoy luxury accommodations including exquisite furnishings in these fine homes. We provide professional and sensitive care for the physical, emotional, mental, and social needs of our residents. Our care focuses on the safety and well-being of our residents, 24-hours a day. We have many excellent referrals and are licensed by the State of Texas as a small/large Class B Assisted Living with Alzheimer and Related Disorders certification.To learn more about this providers license and review other available state reports, please visit: Texas Long-Term Care Provider Search

"We've looked into Mayberry Gardens, Grand Prairie's assisted living. The tour was very good, and I liked it a lot. I like the facility and the people there. They have four buildings on the same level and it's a very nice facility, but my parents are not interested at this time. They also have memory care there; if the need for care progresses, they could change it. I thought it was excellent. I thought the facilities were clean, nicely organized, and had good people running them. I was very impressed with the buildings, but it was mostly the people and how professional they were. They seemed very good. The rooms are good. We were looking at 1-bedroom apartments with a living room. They're small, but you have to look at the living facility that they're in. You have to look outside the room, and they have other rooms where the residents meet with people from all around. They have recreational areas, a barber shop, and a salon. There was a lady there that's been cutting hair and doing men's hair for years, and it looked very nice. They also have activities that they schedule all the time. We met a lady there, her husband's gone now, and she's like 95 years old. She was so ecstatic and showed us her room and how she decorated it. She's happy there. She's got a daughter who lives close by. For a 95-year-old, she was still very energetic, and she didn't have anything bad to say about this facility. She's one of the original people who has been there since day one. She loves it, and her apartment is set up like her house. I wish I could remember the name of the person who gave us the tour because she was great. There's also a young lady whom we talked to about finances. They had an opening for a larger room, but we were thinking we had to talk to mom and dad first, and they held it for us with no money down for a couple of days. They worked with us so well, it was nice. All of the staff members there were outstanding. They are all on top of it. We checked the dining area, but we didn't try the food at that time. For each building, they have their own managers, cooks, and facility people. They all seemed to be very knowledgeable and very professional, and it was a very clean facility. You walk out of your apartment, and you go out into the living area and the kitchen, and everything's there. If the residents wanted a cup of coffee or a cup of tea, it's all provided right there. They take care of all the medicines, too, so your parents can rely on them in giving their medications and everything, which is nice."

"Beautiful facility, the staff is amazing my mom absolutely loves it there she brags on the food all the time. Greatly enjoys the church service that terry put together. she says it makes it feel like she's at home. front desk is always so helpful bobbie terry and alice have made the move in nice and effortless thank you guys for taking such good care of mom"

"I've got a friend whose parents live at Oxford Glen at Grand Prairie, and she very highly recommends it. I would give it a 5 based on her recommendation and based on my own evaluations when I visited there. The people were caring for the residents. It was a lovely facility with views out the window. They had a garden area for the residents to actually be able to garden on their own. I know there can't be a person for every resident, but each and every person there was involved with the residents during the visit, and I have stopped by at two or three different times of day because I wanted a true evaluation of all of these facilities. If I could, I would have put my mother there. I highly recommend it. The only thing they needed to improve on is when I walked in the front door, there was not somebody there to greet me, but I sat there and waited a few minutes and every person that I saw was with residents, and to me that's not negative. That is a positive because they care so much for the residents that they tend to neglect the front area."

"Oak Hollow is a wonderful and trusted facility and the family atmosphere makes it is a perfect fit for my Mother. My Mother requires services that an Assisted Living facility couldn't accommodate so I moved her to Brookdale Oak Hollow, which was at the onset of the Covid19 pandemic. Since my Mother was new to Oak Hollow, she was quarantined in her apartment for fourteen days to ensure safety for her/residents/staff. During these fourteen days I became acquainted with the administrative, physician and care teams (all shifts). The facility is spotless, the dining area is huge and there are areas (inside and outside) for all types of activities. I witnessed first hand the daily routine, the attention to safe practices and the exceptional quality of care/compassion given to my Mother. For me, that solidified I had made the right choice. As for customized care, from the Dietician (and really all the staff) who knows my Mother's favorite foods and ensures that she has some of her favorite treats every day, to taking advantage of using the physician practice that serves the facility, Oak Hollow ensures the needs of my Mother are met. Oak Hollow is always in constant contact with me and keeps me informed of my Mother’s well being/mental/physical health. I appreciate the open communication Oak Hollow facilitates so that I know my Mother is safe, comfortable and happy. I highly recommend Oak Hollow as the choice for your loved one. "

"I really enjoyed the visit to Heartis Mid Cities. The lady we met there was extremely helpful and very good. The place was clean, with nice-sized rooms, and it had everything my mother would need. I mostly liked the people I saw, especially the lady who showed us around and answered our questions, and it appeared they had programs for people to enjoy."

"I toured here. I met several of the staff, and they were very helpful and very inviting. When you first walk into their community, they have a very warm and inviting entrance, and the feel of it is very, very nice. It's a beautiful place, and walking through it, there are so many different things that I know my parents would be able to take advantage of like meeting others and having things to do to keep them busy and things like that. They had a very nice variety on the menu. The living spaces were very nice, too. They're going to be smaller than what they're used to, but they would be sufficient for a couple. Because it would be for my parents, the unit would probably be a deluxe model with a kitchenette. It would be very helpful because they can still have their own snacks, and if they want to have lunch there, they can provide for themselves and still feel like they're in their own place doing their own thing. The cleanliness and condition of the place was awesome. They were very clean, very bright, very open, very spacious as far as the hallways and elevators and things like that. It was very easy to move around in. From everything I saw, it was very nice, very clean and neat."

"We visited Brookdale. The dining area was very nice, and the people were very pleasant and welcoming. The facility was clean, organized, and well-maintained. They have church services, entertainment, and games. We will probably choose this. It is more convenient for us, and we did like the fact that they have a separate building for the Alzheimer's patients. "

"Bedford Estates Senior Living was very nice, very updated, and very clean. The staff was great, answered all of our questions, and explained everything. They did have a studio that we viewed. It was very spacious, and it looked very nice."

"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."

"My mom will move into Morada Cedar Hill Assisted Living. I liked the staff, the location, the building, and everything about it. They provide a refrigerator and a microwave. The staff was wonderful, and there was a courtyard, like a picnic area."

"My grandfather is at Avalon and my mom and her siblings are happy with it. It is extremely clean. It is a family oriented place. They worked with us on every level from financial to special needs. They had a small member of people in the residential home. Their caretakers take good care of the patients. My grandfather has now gained about 15 to 20 pounds. He has started walking and in much better spirits. The director/administrator of that building is one in a million. She is absolutely wonderful. "

"I toured Atria Grapevine. They just have a good system of things to do. It was clean. They were prompt all the time, they didn't take too long. The facility was good. I guess I have put a little bit if you have a lot of things and it is expensive for the size of the room."
