"Hudson Creek Alzheimer's Special Care Center looks like it's well managed. I like the way they had the layout and I like that everyone there, even the maintenance people, is trained to deal with individuals with Alzheimer's because the facility was strictly for that. They could have other issues but everyone there at least had Alzheimer's so I liked the way they had the place laid out. The rooms were very nice too. Once you go in and go past the entrance, if you stand right in the center, you can see the whole facility. It's like a circle, you can see the whole thing. They had a garden area, I guess, to the right, and you go around it like a circle. If you were just standing there, you would be able to see those facilities just from the front part. I think the other thing that I like about them is that in the rooms, they had little cameras or something that would set off an alarm if a patient was in trouble. I forget what they call them but they have them in the rooms so they can see if a patient is in distress and it will send the alarm. I thought that was pretty neat. It's not intrusive, but they can watch out for them. I also felt that it was very, very clean and well-kept. Nigel, he was the administrator, he gave us the tour and we met the other staff. We met the maintenance and then, of course, the lady at the front entrance. It's memory care so you have to be let in and out. They had a person upfront and I believe they told us they have a nurse on-call, 24 hours."

"Parc at Traditions is excellent. We're very pleased with it. They meet all the needs that my mother has as far as making sure she has her medication. The meals are excellent and transportation is provided. They pretty well have it all. There are a variety of activities every day. The residents can always find something they want to do. The staff is very good."

"At Peach Creek Assisted Living, assisted living and memory care were kind of the same because it has a small number of people. It's a comfortable setting. My husband is not a wanderer, but if he did wander, he's not going to walk out onto a main highway or anything. I didn't meet all the people. I liked Rachel, the owner. She was very helpful. The only thing that maybe I would have been concerned about is that the rooms were very small. You can't put a lot of your personal things in there. There were people in the main area playing a game. I noticed a bible study started. The gentleman came in and got them started with that and I kind of liked that. The facilities were nice, new, and very clean. It's a home setting and it's very rural, so it was not a real formal area. They're working on their exterior and the driveway. As far as inside, it seemed very comfortable."

"I have been at The Langford at College Station, and it's been really good. I'm settled in and it feels like home now. The staff has been very helpful and everybody here is in good humor and getting along well. They immediately know your name. When you walk into the room, they call you by name. The bedrooms here are superior because it's luxury retirement living. The dining area is spacious, and the food is pretty good. They serve three meals a day. Every Sunday we have a big buffet from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and it's always really good. There's always something going on here from 8:00 in the morning till 8:00 or 9:00 at night, anything and everything from exercising to stretching to various speakers coming in and giving talks and lectures about their specialty. We also have church services on Sunday. We have poker nights, bingo nights, lady poker nights, puzzles, and all kinds of games. We have entertainment every Friday afternoon. They provide almost everything I can think of."

"I was impressed with Sodalis College Station. It was light and airy. You had plenty of natural light and it was a cheerful place. I liked the size of the suite that we were shown. It was great. I liked the walk-in shower, the size of the closet, and the bathrooms were very nice. The living room was good. I liked the space going down the hall. The people were allowed to put a wreath on the door or something outside the door to enhance the look. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The facility was very clean and in very good condition."
