The Best Memory Care Communities in Collin County, TX

"I toured Mustang Creek Estates - Allen, and my interaction with the staff there was just very warm and inviting. It was a very pleasant environment. Some residents were sitting and reading books in the living area. Some were going to play bingo in one of the other homes that was right there with the other residents. They were just laughing and having a good time playing bingo. The staff was very knowledgeable. The first thing we did was sit down with the director of sales. She went through every detail with us, gave us a pamphlet, and covered all the expenses. It was one of the all-inclusive places. So, they're not adding on every little bit, like if you need dressing care and this and that. They had the best value for the size of the room. They have two registered nurses per home, plus other CNAs and other staff. So, they had the best staff ratio with only 10 residents unless they had spouses. They had no more than 13 people and two RNs in every home. It's very clean, very inviting, and very roomy. We got to see empty rooms, but they also had residents who had agreed to show us their rooms, those that had been set up, and they were just very nice and friendly. The whole environment was saying, "This is where I want to put my mom.""

"Gracious Care Home - Allen was nice. The staff who assisted me with the tour was nice. It was like living at home because it was an actual house. It's just a single home in a neighborhood. It's not a normal facility like the other places. It was very small, so there would be lots of one-on-one attention. I think they said they only take 3 residents at a time. They only had one lady there at the time. They did home-cooked meals but they didn't have a meal plan or anything like that."

"If I could give Teresa House 15 stars, I would. I don’t believe there is a better facility in the Dallas area to care for your loved one. My mom has dementia and was not getting the care she needed at an Asst. Living facility. My sister and I visited numerous facilities and from day one, we knew Teresa House was different. TH celebrates the life your loved ones have left and helps them enjoy every day. They have activities catered to memory care patients seven days a week. The meals are a sweet time for each house to come together (and the food is delicious). The facilities are beautiful, yet the homes feel like a home and not an industrial facility. They take impeccable care of the lawns and landscape and thought through every detail of comfortable porches and walking paths. But what sets Teresa House apart from the rest is their staff. My mom’s house has the most loving and kind ladies helping her. Fancy and Gabi are two that have been there since my mom’s first day. It was hard moving my mom but watching Fancy love on her and Gabi care for her as if she were her own mom, helps me relax and know she is in the right place. And quite frankly, my mom is with it enough that she would let us know if she was not happy (and boy would she let us know). Instead, she tells us how much she likes where she lives and is always asking us “how do I thank them for helping me”? Thank you Godwin and Teresa for creating such an incredible and unique place for loved ones to live."

"Arbor Hills Memory Care Community was an excellent place, and they offered us an excellent deal. Everything was good, but we had a deadline of one month to do it, and we didn't. It's extremely well appointed, very nice, and very clean. They take precautions for Covid right at the door. They give you a good tour of the place. The staff was very personable. I really liked her. I'm going to try to (if we go back there) deal with her going forward. They have different activities. They have a bus that takes you places, but that's not for my dad. The one thing that they have that my daughter and I liked is they have a couple of different rooms where the residents might meet up, sit around, and visit. One or two of the rooms, the family can reserve and celebrate their loved one's birthday or a holiday. I think it's two hours at a time. The room is free, and they'll prepare it. You can buy the food from them for the meal that you're going to be serving or you can bring in your own. They don't charge you if you need the room or with the help that they give you in serving. It seemed nicer than any place else."

"I've been very pleased with Brookdale Collin Oaks. My dad is thriving there. He has done better there than he has anywhere. The facility is very clean and well cared for. They have a lot of activities for the memory care residents in the activity room. Dad's room is very nice, clean, and updated. I have been very pleased with the staff. They are very caring and efficient."

"I personally liked Sunrise of Plano. The lady decided to show us the independent living and assisted living portion. I think at that time, we had only seen the independent living facility. I thought that the rooms were a decent size. For what my mom would need, it might be a little bit smaller than what she's got right now. She can get from her room to the dining room. It's on the same floor, and it's just down the hall. On the first floor, they have some little balconies, like a patio thing that you can go out. They had a place where they have a garden. The staff was very friendly. They just painted the outside not too long ago. They gave us a calendar to look at, and it was kind of general. They said they have games. They have activities around the holidays. They do like celebration things, which I like."

"Avalon Residential Care Homes was licensed and they had doctors and nurses on call. They provided meals, monitored the medications and had 24-hour security. The staff were caring and hardworking. My parents' room was very large, very nice and well-maintained. They had traditional mental games, board games and little exercises. I liked that it was a small group home so they were more hands-on with the residents. I was happy with the care they gave to my parents. It would be better though if they improved on the communication between me and the directors, a bit more informative. I would recommend this facility to other people. "

"My mother moved in. I like it a lot so far, the staff is very friendly, they seem very attentive and they have really well thought out and well-planned activities that are age-appropriate for seniors and all cognitive levels. So I've been very happy with their planning process so far. Her apartment is fairly spacious. It's pretty updated, I'm happy with the size, and the layout, and the furniture that they provided. They have a nice outdoor area that's fenced and it's large. They're covered patio areas to sit in, there are outdoor sunlit areas to sit in, they have a small playground for children to visit, and they have a garden."

"We found here for my mother-in-law. It's very pleasant, the residents are very engaged, and the staff is very attentive. Her room is a studio. The dining room is fantastic, large, restaurant-like, and has an extensive menu. The food is very good, well-prepared, and visually pleasing. They have a wide range of activities like bingo, board games, outings, and going out to lunches and dinners."

"My wife is in Stonefield. She's in memory care. We looked at several facilities, and I just liked it. I know most of the staff by first name and they're good. They have a lot of activities my wife can't be involved in. They do Bible studies, games, and exercises. She can do a few of them. My wife has to be fed. I go there and I feed her, and the food is very good. The room is fine; it's 1-bedroom. I like the people. People are important, and I think my wife gets good care there. "

"I went to Lynridge Assisted Living. It's very, very nice. The rooms were very nice. The facility was extremely nice. The people were very, very helpful. The rooms were large private rooms with very nice bathrooms and very large closets. They have recreation and they have physical therapy. The people were lovely. All the staff came in and visited with me and told me what they could do. They have an RN on staff."

"My dad just moved to The Cottages at Chapel Creek, and so far it's been fine. It's good. The layout is like a U shape, it's very clean, and very organized. It's a nice place. We haven't visited inside yet, but from what we've seen through the windows and from speaking with the people there, it's a choice that we made. The staff that we have met has been more than helpful in every way, they've been really good. They do all kinds of puzzles, they do exercise from their chairs, they have movie days, and football days with tailgating. The condition of the community looked really good. It's a new place; it's only four years old. From what we've seen it's in good shape. I thought that the value for the money was really good."

"The staff really seems to care. The place is brand new, so it is very clean. The staff is great, really excited to get everything going, pay close attention to everybody who comes in. My mom doesn't have any complaints. It is a very positive and happy environment. "
