Memory Care Communities in Rockwall, TX

"I went to Ariel Pointe of Sachse, and they were very helpful and nice. They were great. They have given me a menu, and my parents do have a friend that lives there. She says the food is very good. The facility is beautiful. It's brand new and people are still moving in, so it's not their full capacity yet. The way it's laid is pretty nice. We looked at several rooms, so they have four different floor plans available. They're all very nice and roomy."

"My mom was at Avalon Memory Care. It was a nice place. The rooms were nice. My mom seemed to like the food. She did get her haircut there. They had a salon, and a podiatrist came to see her. However, they really didn't have any activities for the residents. They also didn't have a licensed medication aide in the building. As far as I understand, it was the administrator who got the medication ready and then the care staff member, whoever who was in charge for that day, would give the medication."

"Oxford Glen at Sachse Memory Care was a nice place. The room sizes were a little small for individuals. They need to be just a little bit bigger; a twin or a medical bed probably is all that fits in the room. The staff seemed nice. There were a lot of staff members there when we went to visit. They were playing games with the residents while we were there, doing a lot of one on one with each resident, so I like that about the place. It has a very clean environment. There's not too much noise, it was pretty quiet. I saw them playing a game when we went there, some type of game where they were playing with everyone else. They have a salon on site, and a rehabilitation area, a room for rehab. They have a big outdoor space with a nice garden. There were couches and TV, and stuff like that everywhere."

"Mustang Creek Estates was very nice. The people there were very nice, too. They have one area that has a television and where they do recreation. The only thing I didn't like too much about this place is that they didn't have any areas that were fenced in so that they can go out when the weather is nice. The facility was new. The staff was very friendly. They seemed to be very caring of the people that they were taking care of. The memory care rooms were fairly large with nice bathrooms and closet areas."

"New Haven of Wylie has two buildings,; memory care and one assisted living, and mom will be going into the assisted living facility. It's brand new, it has granite, and it's more like a house instead of apartments. There were only 14 residents in each facility and it's very small. The nurse director was very nice and very helpful. The dining area was a large kitchen where the residents can go any time and they have individual tables for four people. There's a beauty shop in the back, a game room, and there's a piano in there."

"I toured Long Creek. I was only there for a little while, and I saw the person that handles the new residents. I saw a few rooms. It's a very, very nice place. I didn't tour it as much as I did with the other place, but it was a very nice place. I can't say anything negative about it because I didn't see anything negative. I went for assisted living, and they also have memory care. The place is very clean-looking."

"We recently visited this community and was very impressed. We especially liked the idea that mom had the option of brining her pet with her. Unfortunately, mom passed away before we could move her to Murphy. After taking care of mom, I know know how difficult caregiving can be but they all seemed to somehow make it look so easy! "

"Mom was at Colonial Oaks at Campbell Park for a temporary stay. She was there just for nine days. It was really nice. It was very clean and very nicely kept. It had the kitchen and all the amenities. It had a beauty shop and a movie theater. They offer a lot of different services for the seniors there. They took good care of my mother while she was there. It's assisted living, but she had her own room with nice floors, a nice bathroom, a bed, a TV, and her own refrigerator. They offer church services, and they have singing. They offer three meals a day, and family members can come, like my family members came and went to check on her while she was there. They take you back and forth to doctor's appointments. They had a little space on the outside of her room, which is secure, where you can't get out, and they can walk in the courtyard. They have access to the various areas, like the kitchen and the dining room, if you want to come out of your room and sit and play cards or meet and visit with people. The staff was very, very good. Crystal is one of the nurses there. She was really good and very attentive with my mom. They made sure my mom got everything she needed and the medicines that she had to take. They were very, very nice to her and I was very, very pleased with them. They have maintenance service, dry cleaning service, housekeeping, and laundry service. They have medication and healthcare services. They have oxygen equipment. They have security keys and fire safety. They have storm and tornado preparations. They have television, telephone, and internet services, and transportation shuttles. For what you're getting, it's comparable to what all the other facilities in that vicinity charge."

"My dad will be moving to Cambridge Court. My tour experience there was good, it was nice and clean with plenty of visible staff. The room looked good, it's big enough and had plenty of space. I chose this community because of the cleanliness and the visible staff with their residents. They have an amenity where they all sit there together, they have a hallway to a separate living area where they can go and watch TV. They also have an activities room. "

"My mom is at Grand Brook Memory Care. It is awesome. They have activities to keep the residents very busy every day. It is a pretty active place. The food is good. My mom seems to like it. They have family parties and the food that they have there is always very good. The nurse and the administrator are great, and the caregivers are awesome. They are very attentive to the residents and they don't leave them alone. They know how to redirect them and they know how to really care for the memory care patients."

"I toured Brookdale Lake Highlands. I like the fact that it wasn't like a big facility because I don't need to have him in a big place. The person that I met with, Hailey, took me on a tour. Everything was nice, she explained everything, and then let me know if I had any questions because this was the first time I'd ever done this. Everything seemed great. They're accommodating to everything that I was asking, just certain things to keep my dad in his same routine. She was very informative, nice, and pleasant to talk to. My dad's on a special diet, and he's on a vegan diet. I asked if they could make sure that they were able to just accommodate him. It's not anything like crazy. He just doesn't eat meat, chicken or pork. I said, 'He's happy with scrambled eggs and potatoes every day if you let him. It's pretty simple. He just doesn't eat anything outside of that' and they're like, 'Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.'"

"I toured Brookdale White Rock and it went very well. The facility was very clean and the staff was wonderful. The rooms and everything else were good in that place. It's strictly for memory care, so they have rooms that are bright and light, and they have a specific room for people who suffer from sundowners syndrome as part of dementia. They also have activity rooms and quiet rooms for those who prefer not to be around other people. The outdoor area is very nice for the residents and it's a very safe community. Juan was terrific. He followed up with me several times and he knew his business. He introduced me to many of the staff members who take care of the residents so it was a very positive experience. I did not try the meal they were serving that day, but it looked very good. It consisted of fish, fresh vegetables, a salad, and dessert, and it all looked homemade."

"There are are no words to express what kind, loving care rhe residents at Arden Courts Richardson receive. Our mother has been there since October 2003. She is very happy there and we are so fortunate to have found Arden Courts. "

"It brings tears to my eyes as I think of the love and compassionate care that Mustang Creek provides my mom. It was a difficult decision to make when realizing that mom needed more care and we were hesitant about making a move, but after meeting the staff, other residents and family members I knew that we made the right choice. Mom's home is so cute and comfortable and she loves her housemates. Whenever she needs assistance, one of the staff members is always there to help her feel safe. I can call the executive director on the weekends and after business hours and she is always available to answer my questions. I can call up to the house at any time and I can always get an update on mom from one of the caregivers. Mom can have snacks whenever she wants them, she can sit outside on the front porch or she can socialize by the fireplace in the living room. The rooms are on the small side, but the care that the caregivers give mom is better than she has ever had before and the food is great! We love Mustang Creek and know that you will too. "
