The Best Memory Care Communities in El Paso County, TX

"I will be moving into The MonteVista at Coronado this coming August. I like the appearance of the building, both exterior and interior. It had a lot of wood interiors. They told me it had once been a hotel and they turned it into a living facility. The rooms are very low-ceiling because they are older, but they're a little bit larger than the one I'm in. It's clean. It smells good. I talked to several of the residents and they were very happy there. They especially said they liked the food. There's a variety of foods that they offer them every day or a standard menu that they can take from all the time. The staff was very helpful. They have a lady at the main desk. She is your constant person to talk to. I talked with the director of marketing, and she was very helpful. The Manager had taken my daughter-in-law through the facilities before I got there about a month ago. She had her camera with her and I liked what I saw. The Manager was very friendly. Everybody there was friendly. Smiled. My son was with me and his little Yorkshire terrier dog, Little Man, was a big hit and the people just adored him. And he liked them. So that gives me a feeling that the dog can tell if people are good. They answered my questions honestly. They said the food was delicious. The service was good. You get your rooms cleaned once a week, not once every other week or once a month. They are older rooms, but they have walk-in showers, and it was clean. The kitchenette area had a lot of cabinets. They had a very nice activity room. They had another card room. They have a physical therapist for the activity room. They have activities all the time. There was a grand piano in the lobby, and they say they have concerts there occasionally. They have good entertainment, the people said. So, all in all, I was very impressed and was sorry that I couldn't move in right away."

"The staff was very open and friendly and the people living there seemed to be also very friendly. They showed me three rooms, one is supposedly a two-bedroom, one-bedroom and an efficiency, and they were very small. I saw both assisted living and memory care."

"My stepdad will be moving into the El Paso Health and Rehabilitation Center. I like that they have memory care and skilled nursing. It's just what's needed for my stepdad. There are no other memory care units in El Paso, so that's really what I base my choice on. The staff was very helpful and caring. I like their helpfulness to the family. The facility is nice. It seems clean."

"We did a tour of Simpatico East. One thing that we didn't feel very comfortable with was the fact that it's a two-story building, and we felt like it might not be safe for my mother-in-law at that time because of that. It was a short tour. We got to see a couple of rooms. One of the things that we didn't care too much about either was the fact that some of the rooms had carpet, and we didn't think that would be good for her. When we pointed it out to the lady that gave us the tour, she said that they were in the process of removing that also. Other than that, the location seemed pretty clean, all in all. The staff was very informative, and she took the time to answer questions. They were very receptive, said hi to us, and were ready to answer any questions we had; they were nice."

"We chose Vibralife of El Paso because of its five-star and 4.5 ratings online. The staff is nice. The food is pretty good, better than hospital food, but it sometimes gets delivered late. The therapy is great. They're working with my wife and the therapists are great people. She seems to be coming along pretty good with the therapy. However, she is diabetic, and they keep sending her Cokes and cake. She also can only use her left hand, and sometimes they don't cut the food up, which they're supposed to. It's very clean and they have a place where we can go outside and sit. They play cards and bingo."

"It is a small senior living, so it's very nice. They provide pretty much one-on-one service. They only have 16 units, so that's nice. That's what I like about it. It's pretty spacious. They have a good dining area. It's a very nice place. The staff who gave the tour was very nice and very understanding, and she was able to explain everything pretty clearly. The units were more like apartments. It looked more like a hotel. They have bingo. They have so many activities, I don't recall everything single one of them."
