Memory Care Communities in Midlothian, TX

"Both of my parents moved into Sterling House in August 2010. The staff quickly became extended members of our family. My father passed away in December 2010. He was given excellent care physically and emotionally. The staff helped us through his last days and the days following his death. Truly like a family. My mom lives there still and has dementia. They are well trained in her condition and she loves the staff. They go to great lengths to make all the residents feel at home and part of the Sterling House family with parties, good food and lots of activities. I highly recommend Sterling House of Waxahachie. "

"My sister moved into A Daughter's Care - Shennandoah House. I like it. So far, it's been three weeks that she's been there, and I like the ratio of caregiving because it's a small place. Communication is great, they call daily, I get pictures of my sister, and I get texts regarding her blood pressure or whatever. It has a home-like environment, they are clean, and I visit as regularly as I can according to COVID regulations."

"Walnut Creek seems nice, and it's working for us. My husband's apartment is very clean. The staff is friendly. The food is nice and satisfying. They have bingo and cards, and that's pretty much what I have observed."

"Mayberry Gardens is a very different kind of assisted living community in which the residents are gathered into individual houses where there's a maximum of 15 residents in each house. Each house has like a large living area, a very large professional kitchen, kind of in an open concept way where you would find it in an actual home. There's a small dining area attached just the way you would find in an actual house, except that it was very large, big front porch with rocking chairs, and then 15 bedrooms with attached bathrooms, and I enjoyed it there. Dad did not end up choosing to go there because he didn't want to be trapped in a building with 15 other residents in case he didn't like them; he wanted more people to choose from. I understood that, being a man, because he wanted there to be a selection of men, and of course, many of these communities are populated by women. But I appreciated this place, particularly as his own capabilities declined. We looked back at this place again because everything was so close and they did activities right there in the house, they took meals right there in the house, and the caregivers would know him. This is a campus that has five or six houses, and each house was dedicated to different levels of care, like there would be a memory care house in an assisted living care house, and there were several of each. It was just a very personal situation, I thought, where dinner would be cooked fresh and personally, and served right up there at the table, and like a home. So I think it would be very valuable for many, many seniors, and I'll look at it again when my own parents are ready. The activities are mostly brought into the houses, like if they were going to play bingo, they play it in each house. Now, they do have an activity room that is centrally located. It does involve going outside to get to, which many seniors don't want to do, because it's too hot or too cold or whatever, but they do have an activity room where they can have larger events, they can show movies, or have entertainment. It's in a central building between all of the houses, but one thing I liked about it is that during COVID they were able to continue many things that some of the larger communities weren't able to do, because they had too many residents to gather them, and they had a house with only 12 or 14 residents, and at any given time they were able to spread people out and continue doing activities, which I think would have been super. The whole place is owned by a family, and one member of that family runs this location, and he personally gave me the tour, spent time, and gave me his cell phone number. I just talked to him yesterday. He's very, very connected to family, and felt very involved in the process of trying to create a plan of care. I told you that Dad rejected this place, and he did initially, but then his own capabilities declined. We took a second look at this place and I went back to them and said, "OK, here's the situation now. What can we work out?" And they were incredibly accommodating, even allowing me to consider putting him there on hospice. We didn't end up doing that. He spiraled downhill too quickly, but we were considering it, and they were willing to talk about it, and work with me on that kind of unusual arrangement. I enjoyed that."

Avalon Memory Care has gone to great lengths to provide a mode of care that is uniquely tailored to the special needs of individuals with Alzheimer's. 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. Surrounded by family treasures and memories, the residents live in the comfort and privacy of their own rooms in a spacious, ranch-style, one-level home with built-in security features such as a secured patio and roomy backyard. 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. We provide professional and sensitive care for the physical, emotional, mental, and social needs of our residents. Our care focuses on the safety and well-being of our residents, 24 hours a day. We have many excellent referrals and are licensed by the State of Texas as a small/large Class B Assisted Living with Alzheimer and Related Disorders certification.

"She is in the Valon Memory Care for three years now, and we were very impressed with it. She seems to be happy where she is, and I have no problem with her care. They have doctors and a registered nurse on call. It’s a pretty bare facility, but they have cottages. She was raised $300 a month because she was incontinent, but I’m satisfied. They have a nurse that comes in and gives them prescriptions in the morning. "

"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."

"Brookdale Pecan Park has three buildings. One building is for higher-functioning people, and then you move to different buildings based on your decline. It had a very nice setting. It was set back and had a fence around it, which was one thing my mom liked. It had a lot of yards that you could walk in. It had a small courtyard. The rooms were nice. It was priced on the higher end of things, but it looked like you got services for those things. They have three different dining rooms. Their activities are in three different areas, so you would go to different buildings depending on what the activity was, which I think was a negative. The facility was very clean and bright. The director who gave us the tour was very energetic and very loving of her residents. The rooms were nice and updated. You had options for different rooms. The bathrooms were a good size. There was music playing. There was only one little sitting area, a dining area, and then the rest of the building was hallways and rooms. There were few people that we saw, and there was minimal interaction with residents. There were not any activities going on at the time we were there."

"My mom lived at Mustang Creek Estates - Burleson. The thing I liked best was that there were groups of small buildings. Each building had ten rooms in it, and so the number of people in each building was small. She did have a shared room. So some rooms were shared and some were more private, just single. The max that could be in each building was 13, so it was small, and I like that because they would be able to get a little bit more attention as compared to a big facility. The day staff was excellent. There were only two people per shift, that was my main complaint. There are two people on the day staff, two people on the afternoon to early evening, and two people on the night staff. So, during the day it's more difficult. They were great though, even though they were more busy than the other two shifts. They were doing the meals and taking care of the residents. The afternoon shift was a little bit more slack and the night crew was just slack, period. And I guess it was slack because they're thinking, OK, they're in the bed, they're asleep, blah, blah, blah. They didn't really check on them as much as they probably should have. So that was my main reason for moving her, because of that overnight staff and the afternoon staff. A church member would come in and they had services once a week. They had other outside people, like they had groups that could come. They will go in and sing songs, like youth group type things. They had a guy that came every other week who brought a dog, a pet, like how you see comfort dogs that veterans have and things like that. He would come in and bring the dogs so residents could pet them. They had different events. They celebrated holidays, too. They did the 4th of July. They would bring them outside and do a barbecue, things like that."

"The main thing I remember was the staff. They were actually very nice and tried to make everybody there comfortable. I even remember the guy making my grandmother smile (well, halfway at least). I don't think she was very happy there, the place was nice but I don't think she had a lot of friends. It wasn't smelly at all or anything but there was some serious rules about smoking and she LOVED smoking. Another thing I remember about the place was the VIEW. My granny had an awesome view, and she would just stare outside most of the time that we were there. The furniture was pretty nice and I remember that a lot of the other old people there really didn't seem as bad off as my grandmother. In the end we had to move her there because of the money situation, and she HATED the other places we took her, so I'd recommend this place. "

"Belmont Village Turtle Creek was beautiful. We visited twice and liked it both times. This place is at the top of our list. We loved Vivian a lot; she was very personable and wasn't pushy. She's in love with the property, and it's very clear that she likes working there. The apartments were nice, large and roomy. They had two-bedrooms in the size we wanted. The price was way more than we can afford. Their facilities were beautiful, and the whole thing was gorgeous. They had a heated indoor pool up on the 7th floor. My 92-year-old aunt didn't shy away from the multi-level building, but it bothered her to think about what would happen in case of an emergency. We had a meal there and it was delicious."

"This is an Alzheimer's facility. It is wonderful. My mom stayed here and received very individual care. They have limited residents and each is treated a part of a large family. I am very pleased with the care she received. It was a blessing. "
