The Best Memory Care Communities in Tarrant County, TX

"Autumn Leaves was OK. I went to a few support groups they had over there that were very nice. People with family there as residents thought highly of it. I didn’t hear any bad rumors or any bad things about it. I went there for support groups because they had open doors, and you didn’t have to have someone living there to go. It was a support group for families taking care of their loved ones with Alzheimer’s or dementia. "

"We toured StoneCreek North Richland Hills and they looked very nice. Inside it was nice looking, too. I was just disappointed with the size of the rooms, and the dining area was nothing compared to where I am staying now. I can't comment on the food because we didn't get to eat any food, I guess because of COVID. For five or six thousand dollars, I was expecting extreme luxury. I was disappointed that for $6,000 the rooms look like hospital rooms. The dining room wasn't that fancy, and it wasn't very big. It didn't seem like it was accommodating very much to meet people, but that was the COVID situation. I can't judge completely. All I can say is that it's a high price for the accommodation. They didn't go in and show the amenities to us. In fact, when they found out that we couldn't afford that, we were rushed out the door more or less. We really didn't get that much of a tour or information. The manager, more or less, was going over pricing, and like I said, when she found out we couldn't afford her place, it was like, "See you later," type of situation."

"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."

"I speak on behalf of my family when I say that we were most impressed with the care and services provided by the Oak Hollow Team. The Executive Director has both the credentials and experience required to coordinate the activities and functions of the caregivers in a way that creates a "family environment" under circumstances that can be very challenging. More importantly, the level of dedication and the true "calling" that virtually all members of their Team exhibit is a real comfort to anyone anxious about placing a loved one into assisted-living. Family involvement is encouraged and feedback is sought to continually improve the level of service and care. I OFFER MY HIGHEST PRAISE AND RECOMMENDATION. Dan Birgelaitis Colleyville, TX "

"Once I saw Avalon, I realized this is not the type of care my mother needs. All the residents have memory issues, the doors are locked, and they don’t really have any activities. The residents are watched very closely. I went there twice and both times I didn’t see any staff interacting with the residents as the facility caters more to their safety. The kitchen is very open -- the kind where you can see everything, which is nice. The person who explained to us about living there was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. "

"The tour I had of the assisted living community of Brookdale Tanglewood Oaks was nice. The price is the main reason we are choosing that place for my mother. It's within our budget. The place was nice. The apartment I saw was unfurnished, but it was pretty spacious."

"It had all three levels of care, but I visited the independent living. They told me that it was only built five years ago. It was good, but the rooms were probably average. I saw the dining area. They had three meals a day and there was a snack area where you could pick up snacks any time of the day. For the size of the facility, the dining area seemed to be small, but they told me that if you would go for independent living, you can eat in the assisted living dining room as well. I met one staff member, and she was friendly. She knew what she was talking about. It looked like an apartment building. It's four stories. It seemed to be clean."

"Bedford Estates Senior Living was very nice, very updated, and very clean. The staff was great, answered all of our questions, and explained everything. They did have a studio that we viewed. It was very spacious, and it looked very nice."

"We went to visit Brookdale Westover Hills. It is fabulous. It's smaller, but it's immaculately clean, and after every person moves out they do a lot of painting and carpet repair. It's very bright. The apartments or the assisted living, they don't have even a small kitchen facility. They have just a medium-sized refrigerator with a little freezer on top and a microwave, and there's no room for anything else. I was looking at it. This is kind of hard for me to even find a place to put the coffee pot, because that's how small the dining areas in those apartments are. At least the one I saw, because they are assisted living, and their point is to encourage you to come down to the dining room and make friends and be sociable. So there's very little in the way of kitchen facilities in the apartment, but they are very nice. Some of them have balconies, and some of them have just patios, depending on what floor they're on. They have multiple elevators. But, for you to be admitted there, you have to be able to go down one set of stairs in X number of minutes. If you can't do that, they don't accept your application, and that makes sense. If the elevators go out, you being in a multistory building could have a real problem though. They've got nice facilities all over that building. They've got game rooms, they've got craft rooms, they've got a TV viewing room. They've got small reading rooms where residents who would like the same interests could meet in those rooms. In the dining area, I didn't see the food, but the dining area looked like a posh restaurant and the menu book, I saw the menu for March and it looked very good. Most of them do, if you're not happy with the regular menu, they usually have some alternative. This one did have something not to turn it to the rest. The bathrooms are nice, and at least in the assisted living that I went into, the bathroom was nice. It was large. There was enough room if you needed it to get into it with a wheelchair, and when they played around it, it had enough grab bars for you to get to the shower (easy and so forth). The staff member was very good. She's been with them a long time. She gave a lot of information. She did a very thorough tour. She's not in the money area, so there was no discussion of costs with her. That's not her job, her jobs are the tours."

"My parents moved into Mirabella Assisted Living. What I liked the best was the friendliness of the staff and the calmness. They were very friendly. It wasn't chaotic. They all seemed to be getting along with each other. The residents seemed very happy. It seemed like they had a relationship with the residents. It felt very homey. It just felt like it was a community, a community that cared about each other. The dining area is wonderful. We have eaten there twice. Once, we ate there while we were filling out paperwork, and then, the other time, we ate with my parents on their first day, and it was excellent food. They have plenty of activities, and something happens every day. I'm very pleased with the activities and the things that they have. I love their apartment. It's better than any apartment I've ever had when I was single. It's not a carpet, it's a floor, which I like better than carpet. Floors are easier to take care of. They don't smell after a while, especially if my parents become incontinent. It's a wood plank-type parquet floor. It's freshly painted. Everything was fresh. They have a full-size refrigerator. They don't have a full kitchen, but don't need it because they're provided meals."

"I visited The Westmore, and it was wonderful. They were very nice, and I liked the professionalism. I didn't notice anything I didn't like there. The lady was very helpful and spent a lot of the time with us. The staff was very friendly. The facility is very beautiful, clean, and has a nice environment."

"Ellery Arbor Memory Care was a good place. What I liked the most about it was it's a total memory care and the residents had more freedom to walk or wander around. Then they have this big area inside where it's like a little indoor mall that is set up for them and where they could come out and meet with their friends from other places. It was very unique. The whole concept was nice. It wasn't as new, but you could truly see that the people working there really care, and they've all been trained extensively in memory care. In that little mall, there's a little movie theater, a sweet shop, and a beauty salon that is open two days a week, not just once every two weeks. Everything's free whenever they're out there too. So, I thought it was very nice. It was a little more expensive, but you could see how they made it all about memory care. My husband is not a big socializer, but there seemed to be a lot of opportunities for that. It's just an older place, not as fresh and vibrant as the newer ones. Maybe they could only do some decorating updates."
