Memory Care Communities in Mesquite, TX

"This tour was extremely helpful with all that was necessary to know in order to make an educated decision with our family for our loved one."

"My wife has moved into Pegasus Landing of Forney. She's in memory care. I think the best thing so far is the people who work there. They've taken an interest in her, and they're trying to make her settle in. It's very clean and neat. She's been there just a little over three weeks, but I think they've got good round-the-clock care, getting her ready for bed and getting her up in the morning. She seems to be taken care of. Her medicines are taken care of properly. So far, so good. The staff has been really good. I've not participated in the meals so far, but they look pretty decent. The memory program uses the same area for about everything. It's not a separate area. They just make sure that everybody's cleaned up and ready to go to eat when it's time. They're gonna do some remodeling in the area where my wife stays. The activities I've noticed have been coming up with words and a relative theme, like words you use at Christmas or words you use at Easter, or something like that. They have a beauty shop. I like the fact that the doctors specialize in that area, so we don't have to go to doctors anywhere else anymore."

"I liked the Tradition - Lovers Lane very much. I looked at independent living. I think by the time I move I may go into assisted living, but I loved it. The rooms were very nice. They had an art studio because I paint. Everything was very clean and neat. I have not had a meal there, but I hear the food is very good. I haven't really met anybody or had anything to eat there, but I was impressed. I liked everything. Why I really looked there is because it was right next to Central Market and I love Central Market. The woman who toured me couldn't have been nicer. I met a couple of people who work there and they were very nice, too. She was excellent. She asked all the questions, and she showed me everything that I was interested in."

"My aunt moved into Lakeshore Assisted Living and Memory Care 2 weeks ago. So far, everything has been very good. She has a private room, but it was a shared bathroom. They do not have private bathrooms available. The common areas are adequate, and they seem good. It's the memory care area, so it's kind of scaled down. The staff seems to be good, especially the supervisor- level people. There is an onsite beauty shop. They have ball toss games, exercise videos, tactile, and activity mats. But there needs to be more interaction to draw the residents out of their rooms. The physical condition of the building is good, and it is kept clean. It is an older facility, but it has been well-maintained and updated."

"My sister was previously at Beehive Homes of Rowlett's memory care. The managers and the owners themselves are very hands-on and assist in all aspects of the care. They are very knowledgeable, very smart people, and understand the medication system. They try to make all the residents feel comfortable, and most of the residents that I have seen are very comfortable there. There's nobody who doesn't want to be there. Their staff was very attentive. They pay attention when you tell them that a certain staff member didn't do something. They don't hold on to staff members who are not doing right, like most facilities. The food was good because they also had a chef who prepared and catered it to the liking of the residents. They had wonderful events, and they decorated for these events, like Mother's Day, Christmas, and Easter. They were also inclusive of family members because they would let family members know that they were invited to come to these events. They would have these big banquets for everyone, the family and the residents. They even had photo opportunities where they would set up so that you could take pictures with your family members. They kind of went above and beyond."

"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 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."

"We have had our mother here for over a year. It's a home atmosphere, and she is very well cared for. We could not be happier. "

"We toured Ariel Pointe of Sachse Senior Living. We loved this place, and the best would be the amenities and the staff. The facility is modern, new, clean, bright, and very nice. The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly."

"Besides having great interactions with the staff, I felt that Mom was comfortable in her room and the environment around her. The food was well thought out and nicely presented. It was a really good experience for the time that we had there."

"My parents will be moving into Rock Ridge Assisted Living & Memory Care. They have a doctor visit twice a week that comes to the facility and they can make appointments with it versus having to leave the facility to go. The residents were pretty happy, and it was nice, clean, and updated nicely. Overall, it's a good place to be. The staff seems very good, too. They have an activity calendar. They have different levels of care based on what their needs are. Of course, they encourage people to be as independent as possible, and that was one of the things we were looking for, making sure that my parents stayed independent and that they felt like they had their own space or their own home. The staff was very, very helpful and knowledgeable. The assessment that they did seem to be very appropriate. "

"Dad moved to Avalon Memory Care-Royal Circle Dallas. It's a single family home and it is clean. They have rooms for eight residents. The staff seems to be good. They cook the meals for the residents and care for them. My dad seems to like the food. In the living room of the house, they have a TV and my dad watches a TV with a person leading exercises, and he does some simple self exercising there, but anything else, I don't know what that might be. I haven't seen it. It's very limited."

"My brother-in-law was in here for skilled nursing and he eventually got into assisted living for a short period of time. Overall, the staff was pretty good. The facility was nice. It's spotless. He had a one-bedroom apartment and it was very spacious. They got outdoor seating and that kind of thing."

"My mother is in Arden Courts of Richardson. We've been pleased with them. They were very nice. She's in memory care. I liked it a lot. The people there have been impressive. They really seem to be on top of things. They're very friendly, and seem to be generally caring. It's good; it's really nice. I think she's comfortable there. They have activities for a couple of hours in the morning, and again in the afternoon. There's lots to do, and she enjoys the activities. Given the situation, it's as good as it can be. They do everything from singalongs to people coming in to visit and speak to them. They do group exercises. They have group activities to the extent they're able to participate, and my mom really enjoyed that stuff. They do have a salon. They have a really nice backyard with a big wall around it. It's very well-kept and very nice. My mom loves to walk out there."
