The Best Memory Care Communities in Ellis County, TX

"My mom will move into Morada Cedar Hill Assisted Living. I liked the staff, the location, the building, and everything about it. They provide a refrigerator and a microwave. The staff was wonderful, and there was a courtyard, like a picnic area."

"I'm very pleased with Oxford Glen at Grand Prairie. The care is excellent. It's a very good facility. The staff is excellent. My husband seems to enjoy the food. They have chair exercises, bowling, and games. They keep them pretty busy, and they try to get them to participate. It costs a little more, but it's worth it."

"I toured Cedar Bluff Assisted Living and Memory Care. I met several of the staff, and they were very helpful and very inviting. When you first walk into their community, they have a very warm and inviting entrance, and the feel of it is very, very nice. It's a beautiful place, and walking through it, there are so many different things that I know my parents would be able to take advantage of like meeting others and having things to do to keep them busy and things like that. They had a very nice variety on the menu. The living spaces were very nice, too. They're going to be smaller than what they're used to, but they would be sufficient for a couple. Because it would be for my parents, the unit would probably be a deluxe model with a kitchenette. It would be very helpful because they can still have their own snacks, and if they want to have lunch there, they can provide for themselves and still feel like they're in their own place doing their own thing. The cleanliness and condition of the place was awesome. They were very clean, very bright, very open, very spacious as far as the hallways and elevators and things like that. It was very easy to move around in. From everything I saw, it was very nice, very clean and neat."

"We've looked into Mayberry Gardens, Grand Prairie's assisted living. The tour was very good, and I liked it a lot. I like the facility and the people there. They have four buildings on the same level and it's a very nice facility, but my parents are not interested at this time. They also have memory care there; if the need for care progresses, they could change it. I thought it was excellent. I thought the facilities were clean, nicely organized, and had good people running them. I was very impressed with the buildings, but it was mostly the people and how professional they were. They seemed very good. The rooms are good. We were looking at 1-bedroom apartments with a living room. They're small, but you have to look at the living facility that they're in. You have to look outside the room, and they have other rooms where the residents meet with people from all around. They have recreational areas, a barber shop, and a salon. There was a lady there that's been cutting hair and doing men's hair for years, and it looked very nice. They also have activities that they schedule all the time. We met a lady there, her husband's gone now, and she's like 95 years old. She was so ecstatic and showed us her room and how she decorated it. She's happy there. She's got a daughter who lives close by. For a 95-year-old, she was still very energetic, and she didn't have anything bad to say about this facility. She's one of the original people who has been there since day one. She loves it, and her apartment is set up like her house. I wish I could remember the name of the person who gave us the tour because she was great. There's also a young lady whom we talked to about finances. They had an opening for a larger room, but we were thinking we had to talk to mom and dad first, and they held it for us with no money down for a couple of days. They worked with us so well, it was nice. All of the staff members there were outstanding. They are all on top of it. We checked the dining area, but we didn't try the food at that time. For each building, they have their own managers, cooks, and facility people. They all seemed to be very knowledgeable and very professional, and it was a very clean facility. You walk out of your apartment, and you go out into the living area and the kitchen, and everything's there. If the residents wanted a cup of coffee or a cup of tea, it's all provided right there. They take care of all the medicines, too, so your parents can rely on them in giving their medications and everything, which is nice."

"Beautiful facility, the staff is amazing my mom absolutely loves it there she brags on the food all the time. Greatly enjoys the church service that terry put together. she says it makes it feel like she's at home. front desk is always so helpful bobbie terry and alice have made the move in nice and effortless thank you guys for taking such good care of mom"

"I toured recently for my Mother and was blown away by the hospitality. We were offered a lunch tour and then once they found out how much she loves to get her hair done they invited her to a spa day! The special touches shows me that they care and will go the extra mile."

We are concerned with every phase of the resident's needs-physical, emotional, and social. We work to restore and support the resident's self-esteem, dignity, and the resumption of as many of the daily personal tasks as the resident is capable of.

They bond with and enjoy the companionship of other residents, inevitably forming a "family feeling" that eliminates the loneliness or isolation often experienced in institutional settings. They enjoy luxury accommodations, including exquisite furnishings in these fine homes.

"I toured Avalon Memory Care - Arlington 7200 for my mom. It is very beautiful. Everybody was very friendly. I love the atmosphere and the view. I liked the people and also there were several workers for the number of people that were there. I saw a lot more staff there, workers just being around and coaching the elderly and all that kind of stuff versus the other place I saw, where I did not see very many workers. But that doesn't mean they weren't in rooms or something. But this place, they were all playing a game at a table, and they had everyone there and they had all the workers around them. So, it's like one worker per every three people or whatever to help this game at the table. It was perfect and just wonderful. They're all happy. You could tell everyone loved their job."

"My husband will be moving to Avalon Memory Care-Arlington. We chose it because of the facility itself, and the people are super nice and the facility is well-maintained. It's beautiful. It's a good size, modern, and clean. They have a garden, an activity center, arts and crafts, and music. He just hasn't started there yet."

"The tour here was very nice. They have very nice rooms. I was really hoping that the actual apartment had an outside door that went to a courtyard or something, but they don't have that. But they had a lot of outside areas where you could go out. The staff was very good. The facility was very clean. When we went in they had some water damage, but they were redoing the floor. It's a little hard to tell people how to get there because it's off Interstate 20. They offer three meals a day and snacks."

"We have chosen Iris Memory Care for my uncle because they specialize in Alzheimer's and dementia. They have been attentive to his needs and follow all Covid regulations. He seems to be very happy there. He enjoys the food. He is eating and he is actually gaining weight. They have various activities, too. The thing that I like is that they encourage him to come out of his room and participate. The facility is very clean and the rooms are nice sized."

"Belmont Village Turtle Creek had very large apartments, but it was very expensive. The staff who toured me was nice. It was a very nice facility, and I liked where it was located."

"We were so happy with Cambridge Court. Everyone was very helpful and caring. They did all they could do for Mom in trying to accommodate her in everything. I was just very happy that she was there for the short time she was there. The facility was beautiful and they took care of everything. It's just wonderful. The food was fantastic. They had bingo, people came in and sang for them, exercises, Bible reading, all kinds of games, and music."
