Memory Care Communities in Bedford, TX

"We had a productive visit with staff while touring assisted living facilities in the area for our Mother. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable. The rooms are clean and spacious. We especially like the covered front and back patio space. Overall, it is very nice senior living facility!"

"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."

"The staff here are very helpful and informative. They really get to know your loved one. The place is always clean, never smells bad. My husband has been there for 6 months and I am very pleased with all they do for him."

"The Waterford on Cooper seemed to be fine and nice. I wouldn't say anything negative. It just had a little small odor, and that's about it. The lady that I had dealt with was excellent at explaining everything and showing me how everything worked in the facility. She showed me two different rooms. One was an efficiency that didn't really have a lot of stuff in there."

"The options the residents of Grand Brook have is the best. The facility is spacious and the residents have many options on where the can spend their day. There are multiple activities because one activity does not suit all so the residents are doing what their comfort level is. The 13 year chef is suburb in maintaining delicious meals which is custom prepared for each resident. The staff is above and beyond on the care of the residents. They develop loving relationships with the residents and day in, day out they give tender, loving care. The care is total from the Executive Director to the Facility Care department. There is constant care of the facility and any issue is addressed immediately. The staff keeps close communications with the medical staff and family of the smallest cut or cough. If you want THE BEST for your loved one don't even bother looking anywhere else. The entire experience could not be better and my husband has been a resident there for over a year. -- Mrs. Bob "

"I toured Brookdale Pecan Park. It was a larger unit and it had three separate buildings. One was for memory care, one for assisted living where they needed assistance with everything, and the third building was for people that had just moved in so they had some assistance but they didn't necessarily need it, they still drove. Brookdale was larger and had a dining room for each building. Their physical therapy area was much larger. They had more area for them to do and they had the same plan with the meals. If you don't like the main one, there was always a menu, the day before you just circle what you wanted when you came to the dining hall. You tell them, today I wanted a cheeseburger and French fries and they brought it to your table. Angel was one of the staff that led us around on the tour. Angel was exceptional. They have a promotion going on this month. It's not for a one-month thing. It's for the duration of his stay there. It's a percentage off. She was also very knowledgeable about the VA information. I toured before I took my mom back a second time and Juan was the one who took us through. He was pretty knowledgeable and very pleasant, informed us of a few things that Angel did not talk about, the outings where they load them up in the buses once or twice a month, and then go to Walmart to go shopping. They vote every week on what they would like to do, whether they want to go to the zoo or Walmart, or they want to eat dinner at a restaurant, and then whatever the most popular is they'll try to accommodate as long as the weather agrees."

"My father is in Avalon Memory Care - Keller. It's a memory care facility. It was a lot smaller, which provided a sense of home. There was a small number of residents there who had similar high-functioning cognitive deficits as he did, so it would be a better fit for him to be among others whom he could interact with and have that sense of community there. It's near to family. It's in an area that's easily accessible to things. He has a large room. It's a semi-private room, so he has another individual in the room as well, but it's very nice, modern, updated, and had hardwood floors and a huge shower in the bathroom. I liked that there wasn't a separate area where they had to go to shower. The bathroom is set up well. It had a large closet and there was plenty of room. The roommate has a queen-size bed, and my dad has a full- sized bed and then they both still have spaces for chairs and tables. It's a large room. You have to bring your furniture, the bed and dresser, and pictures for the wall and personalize it. We were able to put anything we wanted in there. I haven't participated in any of the meals there yet, but from what my dad has said, it's really good. They have three meals a day and snacks and they all sit together at the dining room table, which is very nice. Everyone eats their meals together three times a day. You're never eating in your room or anything like you would at a nursing facility. It's almost like a home. They had a really large living area. There's a double-sided fireplace that has two seating areas on each side and a large dining area with four or five different sections of tables. The kitchen is there with like a long bartop counter. It's more of like a home-type feel than at a restaurant. They have movie nights. They bring in musical entertainers who come in to sing. They have local churches that come in. There's a Catholic church that comes in and does communion there once a week. They have craft activities. There's a group of gentlemen there that likes to play cards, so they play cards together. It's just a big open concept, but they can use the dining area for any type of group activities at the table there. They have an outdoor courtyard that's a secure area. There's a patio, a porch area, and an outdoor courtyard. In the springtime, they can plant. My father does gardening, so he'll be able to go and do gardening and plant flowers or vegetables. The staff there has been amazing. Everything that I've experienced there has been amazing. They've been very easy to communicate with. I'm able to text or call when I need to. They provide individual care for each person. They individualize it and take time to know what works for each resident and make sure that they give them the type of attention that they need. They sit together and have that type of community feel where they're all eating together and talking and enjoying a meal. Everything is very well kept, very clean, modern, and updated. He seems to enjoy everything."

"Avalon Memory Care-Keller II had a lot of scheduled activities. I was there twice so I saw them in action and I know that they were doing it. The semi-private rooms were quite nicer. They were almost like two bedrooms with a shared bath. They had some patio-type space as well. The person that did the tour was very knowledgeable and did a good job of showing us around."

"We chose Mustang Creek Estates - Keller for my mother. We're on a waitlist right now. What I like the best is the family environment. What I like least is the size of the rooms. The rooms are kind of small. The staff members are very friendly, informative, and easy to work with. The place was clean, and it smelled good. When I stepped in, there was this family atmosphere. The other residents were out and about and conversant. The staff members interacted with the residents in a friendly manner."

"My boyfriend stayed at HarborChase of Southlake. They didn't take very good care of him and he ended up in the hospital. They let him get mouth sores all over his mouth and back in his throat and didn't do anything about it. Finally, we got the doctor to prescribe some lidocaine rinse and they didn't give it to him. Then he got a massive urinary tract infection and had to go to the hospital. I don't like anything about it. It's extremely expensive. They charged him a fee to transfer him to the hospital. The aides didn't notify the doctor that he was sick, and he couldn't eat because he had mouth sores for about a week. The food was horrible. We had a Christmas dinner there and it was supposed to be rib roast, and it was so overcooked. I don't think they take very good care of their residents. It's beautiful. He had a really nice apartment. He was only there a short time, and the bill was $20,000, and they charged him extra for everything."

"The staff is friendly and helpful. My in-laws moved in and right away felt like it was home. They are allowed to decorate as they wish to make it feel like their home. They enjoy the activities that are provided. The facility is clean. Their laundry is taken care of for them weekly. We have been very pleased with this transition into assisted-living and appreciate all the staff at Whitley Place."

"My mom will move into Oak Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center. The front Foyer is beautiful, and they're super, super nice in there. When you first drive up to them there's a big water fountain, it's very pretty, and when you walk in the front door, it's very inviting, and just beautiful furniture. The staff is very friendly, very knowledgeable, very kind, and very caring. It was the closest to where we live."

"My brother moved to Avalon Memory Care - Irving. They are very caring. They're always attentive. They just take care of everything in a very good way. The staff was excellent. They take the time to visit with me. The facility is very clean. It's very accessible and it's locked down, which is what we needed. We can get in his room, but we have to use the code in. So, it's very good. They do have people coming in. Those people that come in sing to entertain them. They have people that come in and do trivia with them."

"We chose Meadowbrook Memory Care Community for my mom because it's very pretty and very attractive. There's a very high number of caregivers to patients too. They have a sensor in her room that when she gets out of bed, they immediately get notified and come and help her because she does need help. It's extremely clean, and it always smells nice. The food is pretty good. Overall, the care that she's receiving is very high quality. They have very nice people. She moved in about 3 months ago now. We saw their food and the dining place was very attractive. The first day she had breakfast there, she said it was very good. They have a lot of activities and exercises. It's designed for people with Alzheimer's, which she has, so they're experts in that. We are surprised that she is joining in the activities. We didn't expect that but she is and she likes it."
