Memory Care Communities in Arlington, TX

"My husband will be moving to Avalon Memory Care-Arlington. We chose it because of the facility itself, and the people are super nice and the facility is well-maintained. It's beautiful. It's a good size, modern, and clean. They have a garden, an activity center, arts and crafts, and music. He just hasn't started there yet."

"I toured Avalon Memory Care - Arlington 7200 for my mom. It is very beautiful. Everybody was very friendly. I love the atmosphere and the view. I liked the people and also there were several workers for the number of people that were there. I saw a lot more staff there, workers just being around and coaching the elderly and all that kind of stuff versus the other place I saw, where I did not see very many workers. But that doesn't mean they weren't in rooms or something. But this place, they were all playing a game at a table, and they had everyone there and they had all the workers around them. So, it's like one worker per every three people or whatever to help this game at the table. It was perfect and just wonderful. They're all happy. You could tell everyone loved their job."

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."

"I toured recently for my Mother and was blown away by the hospitality. We were offered a lunch tour and then once they found out how much she loves to get her hair done they invited her to a spa day! The special touches shows me that they care and will go the extra mile."

"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'm very pleased with Oxford Glen at Grand Prairie. The care is excellent. It's a very good facility. The staff is excellent. My husband seems to enjoy the food. They have chair exercises, bowling, and games. They keep them pretty busy, and they try to get them to participate. It costs a little more, but it's worth it."

"All the caregivers are excellent. They do a really good job of taking care of my needs, while being friendly & cheerful."

"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. "

"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 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."

"My husband moved to Brookdale Richland Hills. The people are amazing. It's a small family community, and they communicate extremely well. The place is clean. When he walks by somebody's dorm, they call him by name. It's just amazing. He is a social person who likes activities, so he's involved in them. They play bingo."

"We checked the assisted living at Bedford Estates Senior Living. However, since we also have concerns that my father-in-law may be having dementia maybe in the near future, we were also looking at someplace that he could possibly transition from one to the other, so I like that they have both assisted living and memory care. It would have been perfect; it would have been great. We talked with the nurse, and she was just a cute thing. She would have worked with my father-in-law's medications, so it would have been a really good idea. I also like that they have individual rooms that can be like their own apartment. They would still have their own space. Everyone I met there was lovely too. They have an area where they could go outside, but they wouldn't be bothered. It's like a little park. The building was built around a courtyard in the middle, so that was very nice. Dad would love that. With them having food and everything, it would have been like being at a restaurant all the time, so my father-in-law probably would have enjoyed that, too. We talked with the dietitians when we were there as well, and they would have prepared his meal exactly like he wanted it, so it was kind of nice too."

"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."
