Memory Care Communities in Bryan, TX

"I toured Hudson Creek Alzheimer's Special Care Center. I just loved it. It felt like home. They had everything that we needed for the situation that we are in. They specialize in is Alzheimer's, so they know what they're doing. They have been trained to take care of people with Alzheimer's. I like the fact that they had alarms on all of the rooms, and they know when they are out of the bed. It's gated, so they can't get out. They are allowed to roam wherever they want to. They really encourage them to stay out of their room. The one that I'm looking into would be a private room, and it is very spacious. There is enough room for his bed and a couch. When he has visitors, there is plenty of room for everyone. There is a private restroom, and it's very user friendly. The staff that gave me the tour was very knowledgeable. She knew what she was doing, knew the space, and knew the clients. She also stopped to help people along the way. A couple of them looked like they needed a little help with their trousers. It was a good experience. The place didn't smell like urine. It was very clean and calm. There wasn't any chaos there at all. It's not a square building. They can wander and not feel like they are just in there. There are different angles and different halls that they can travel. It looks more like a home than a facility."

"I toured Sodalis College Station. I liked Sodalis myself and my mother went over there. She thought it was too big and she was going to get lost and get confused, but another thing I liked about it was that it was a little bit more inclusive. It has a memory care unit and they have a program called Bridges. Bridges are for those people who do not quite need memory care, but they're not even as independent as they might, even for assisted living, so they're kind of in between. They accommodate that and they seem to have a very wide range of experience, not that they're going to super skilled nursing, but they go to memory care, which takes a lot of staff and all that sort of thing. Also, I was very impressed with the guy who took me around, Ricky. I always ask about turnover, particularly at housekeeping. He tries to provide gift cards and things like incentives to keep the staff there and said they haven't had much turnover. He's a pastor. He's a very kind person and he took a lot of time with me moving around. They have all kinds of little nooks and crannies where people can go outside or to a chapel. It was a good place."

"Parc at Traditions is very, very nice. The lady that helped us did everything. She took us everywhere. We were there longer than we expected. It had a very good feeling. However, the price is just out of our range. The facilities are great. They have assisted living rooms, and they have memory care rooms. Basically, you can do just about everything there. We didn't eat lunch or anything, but they gave us menus of what they do and how they do it."

"We were a drop in to look around the facility. Dawn & Diane took time to answer our questions. We have just started our research, but this is our top pick for Mom when she needs the help."

"PeachCreek is a gem. The home is BEAUTIFUL and set in an amazing ranch style setting. The staff keeps the home spotless and the rooms are full of sunlight and extra room. Our family has been so happy with the care and love given to all the residents. We love EVERYTHING about PeachCreek!!!"

"The Langford at College Station was really nice. The staff who gave the tour was good. She was really nice and gave us a lot of information. But she held us up until the end, and she said there's a $42,000 buy-in. Nevertheless, they had just about everything. They had a place to eat, a library, a common room, a place for different things like a gym, and then they had another room that was almost like a theater. It was really nice and very nicely decorated."
