Memory Care Communities in Lubbock, TX

"Brookdale Monterey said that my brother can't have a cellphone. That's very discouraging because he's gonna want to call his friends in Fort Worth, and he may want to call me sometimes. I really liked Brookdale except for that factor. The other thing was they don't have wi-fi for them to use. The rooms were great. The one they showed me had a private shower. My brother has two closets. It's going to be plenty big enough for us to fit his bed, his lift chair, and his shelf. I feel like the room was spacious enough that he's not going to be crowded in his room at all. Allison was absolutely wonderful, very sweet, very kind, and very caring. She spent all day with us until almost 6:00 at night. She didn't rush us. She showed us everything and explained everything in so much detail. As we were looking through the facility, questions would pop in my mind and no matter what question I came up with or how many I came up with, she was extremely patient with answering. By the time I left there, I had every question answered. I actually left there just so excited because I was so impressed with the whole thing. It was beautiful. They had two outdoor patios, and I liked the fact that it's entirely memory care. There's no assisted living and no independent living there. The entire facility is memory care, so I liked that. They had a lot of room. They could walk. There were community rooms. If I wanted to go there and bring a board game, there were tables where I could sit and play games with my brother. It was just beyond super nice. It's very, very spacious because the whole facility is memory care."

"I was very impressed with The Legacy at South Plains. The staff was wonderful. We took an entire tour and saw the menus. They had a cafe, bars, and entertainment. Just a lot of positive things. They were doing physical therapy/exercise in one of the gyms we went to, and residents were very willing and open to let us view their residence where they lived. Everyone was very positive about the living experience there. If it was my choice, that would be the first choice that I would go to."

"My mom is at BeeHive Homes of Levelland. We chose it because it was a smaller facility and we felt like it would better suit my mother. My mom has a room with a bathroom adjoining it. It's kind of at the back of the facility, where it's not as noisy as up in the common area. We like all the staff members. They're super nice and good with my mother. They have games and bingo. They do puzzles. They get three home-cooked meals a day. My mom usually just sits there in the living room and watches movies on TV."

"I chose the BeeHive Homes of Lubbock for my father. He's been there four days but he passed away Monday. They met my needs and they're very caring. My mom is there too. Her room is efficient. And she eats what she can, and they catered to her as far as her likes and dislikes. My mom has only been there four days. They're very good."

"Isle at Raider Ranch was beautiful. They have such a long waiting list to get into assisted living, that it is recommended to go into independent living first so that you are kind of moved to the top of the list when there is an opening in assisted living. For us, they had a lot of opportunities in terms of activities. They had a pool table, dances, live music, and happy hours. Vanessa assisted us with the tour, and she was awesome. All the people there were incredible. They were so nice, helpful, and eager to give you any information that you need. In all honesty, all the residents were walking around with a smile on their faces and they seemed very happy. They also do have a lifestyle option that you can sign up for where you get three meals a day, you can have people come in upon your request to empty the dishwasher, make your bed every day, or fold laundry. If you don't feel like going to the dining room that day, they will bring your food to you. It's kind of in between assisted living and independent living. "

"I put down a deposit on Wilshire on 4th, and things are rolling along. My friend has a room and it's for memory care. It's a small facility. They have 16 rooms and they're all single rooms. It's one of the most affordable of the places that we talked to. They had a gathering room with a TV, and I saw several people there. It was 4:00, and there were several people in the dining room with activities at the time. The room was kind of small, but it's just one person in the room. It had a bathroom and a huge closet with a built-in dresser. The toilet and sink were in that area, but the shower was down the hall. Most falls happen in the shower, so there's always somebody in the shower with the residents. The lady who showed us around was very informative and asked lots of questions about the kind of care that my friend needed. They were open to everything that we needed. It was clean. Because it's a memory care place, the doors were locked. They have the licensing for locking the doors. They can't get out the door unless one of the staff members opens the door. They had the common area that was like a living room, and a common area that was like a dining room. There was a large backyard that I didn't really look at, but they mentioned that they take people out there and enjoy the sun."
