Memory Care Communities in Sachse, TX

"My aunt has been a resident there or 10 months. I can't say enough about to patience of the leadership and staff. The facility is very nice and the individual rooms AR very nice as well. There are a lot of activities for the residence and everyone seems to enjoy the meals. I've been very happy with my decision to place my aunt that New Haven."

"I toured the Grand Brook Memory Care of Garland for my sister, and I had a good impression of it. The rooms were spacious, and I liked the setup. The way that it was designed was nice. The most impressive part was the staff. It's mostly because they were responsive, and they were very personable with the residents and with me. They have lots of activities, but I didn't focus on how many. They did tell me all of the different activities they have. I could see they have good communication with the residents. One example is that they had lots of signage so residents could see locations. The place seemed to be much different from other facilities in terms of how they're set up and how they understand their clients' needs."

"Iris Memory Care of Rowlett seemed nice. It's just that it's so far away. The tour was good. I met one person, and she was good. The apartments were kind of small, but they were OK."

"I liked Twin Rivers. It was small and intimate, and it was well-kept. I only met the salesperson. I didn't meet the nursing staff there. They had a salon, a gym, and they had physical therapy available. They also had social activities for their residents."

"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."

"The house is very nice, the care is excellent , and the services offered are nothing short of exemplary"

"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."

"I toured Mustang Creek Estates - Allen, and my interaction with the staff there was just very warm and inviting. It was a very pleasant environment. Some residents were sitting and reading books in the living area. Some were going to play bingo in one of the other homes that was right there with the other residents. They were just laughing and having a good time playing bingo. The staff was very knowledgeable. The first thing we did was sit down with the director of sales. She went through every detail with us, gave us a pamphlet, and covered all the expenses. It was one of the all-inclusive places. So, they're not adding on every little bit, like if you need dressing care and this and that. They had the best value for the size of the room. They have two registered nurses per home, plus other CNAs and other staff. So, they had the best staff ratio with only 10 residents unless they had spouses. They had no more than 13 people and two RNs in every home. It's very clean, very inviting, and very roomy. We got to see empty rooms, but they also had residents who had agreed to show us their rooms, those that had been set up, and they were just very nice and friendly. The whole environment was saying, "This is where I want to put my mom.""

"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.'"

"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. "

"Arbor Hills Memory Care Community was an excellent place, and they offered us an excellent deal. Everything was good, but we had a deadline of one month to do it, and we didn't. It's extremely well appointed, very nice, and very clean. They take precautions for Covid right at the door. They give you a good tour of the place. The staff was very personable. I really liked her. I'm going to try to (if we go back there) deal with her going forward. They have different activities. They have a bus that takes you places, but that's not for my dad. The one thing that they have that my daughter and I liked is they have a couple of different rooms where the residents might meet up, sit around, and visit. One or two of the rooms, the family can reserve and celebrate their loved one's birthday or a holiday. I think it's two hours at a time. The room is free, and they'll prepare it. You can buy the food from them for the meal that you're going to be serving or you can bring in your own. They don't charge you if you need the room or with the help that they give you in serving. It seemed nicer than any place else."

"The food at Appletree Court was good. I've only had one meal there, but they had variety for the guests and the patients, so it was a nice experience. They're very accommodating. They have activities and stuff for my wife to do and she is engaged in those now. The facility impressed me with its cleanliness and it didn't have any of the smells you usually associate with nursing homes. The staff is very friendly and I stay in contact with them throughout the week. Even if I can't see my wife, I can call them and check on my wife and they'll talk to me and be very responsive. She is doing Bible study. She seems to enjoy doing puzzles. They had Santa Claus come in already and they decorate for the holidays. They have decorated for both Thanksgiving and Christmas and singing Christmas carols and stuff like that. Right now, I'm impressed with the facility. The only thing I'm having problems with is the wi-fi goes down periodically and I try to watch my wife on a camera in her room. That's the only problem I've had. Lakiesha is very good. I'm getting my money's worth."

"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."
