Memory Care Communities in Tyler, TX

"I had a very good experience with Brookdale Tyler South. They were very friendly and very helpful. The rooms were very nice and clean. Several things were going on while we were there. There were people eating lunch and people watching movies. It looked good to me."

"Azalea Trails Assisted Living & Memory Care was a wonderful experience. I felt them to be very warm, inviting, and cozy. They're very family-oriented and friendly. The apartments were warm and inviting. The staff who gave the tour was knowledgeable and informative. I toured the place, but I didn't try their food. I met their activities director. She was extremely energetic. She told me the different things that they offered, and the things they offered for the men sounded like my dad would fit right in."

"Oak Hills Terrace Memory Care was wonderful. The biggest thing is it's private pay only and it's very expensive. The facilities are wonderful. Everyone was very friendly and were able to answer all my questions. They have someone at the front desk 24/7 and the doors are always locked so that the residents can't get out. They have someone that assists them that has to physically push the button. The facilities were beautiful."

"The Hamptons At Greenridge was very nice, I can't think of anything I did not like about it. They have a fitness center, a salon, and a courtyard. The person who gave the tour was warm and personable, she stayed with us the entire time and eat lunch with us. The food there was good, and we had a good dining experience. They just don't have vegetarian food. The facility looks newer than the other places we've toured. It's located near a college but it wasn't close to shopping if you drove, but they offer transportation."

"I've been to The Hamptons of Tyler Senior Living twice and seen the large and small one-bedroom apartments. They were beautifully laid out, and it was nice to see how the furniture actually looked without just being empty. The apartments are very big, and their balcony is screened so that you don't get bugs when you're sitting out there. They have a little golf course, a lot of land, and a pool, and it's more like a regular apartment, except that they have a lot of activities. The things that interest me are the gym and library. They also have an art department, which I love. Plus, you could go down there any time and use what's there as far as their supplies in painting. They have a common area, and then they have a huge study area. Theirs is cafeteria-style. I did not eat there, but I asked to see the food. They set up a big salad bar, and you can pick that up any time you don't want to stay downstairs; you can fix anything to go. They have a full-size kitchen in the apartment with a stove or refrigerator. They do have a bus that takes you to different places. I liked The Hamptons, and I have a friend who lives out there, and she also likes it."

"My husband has moved into Arabella of Kilgore Senior Living. It's three miles from my house. It's a beautiful facility. He has a nice room. The people there are very, very nice and very helpful. The food is okay. It's not the way I cook, but it's good. They have several programs during the day. When I go there to visit him, a lot of people are engaged in these programs, like games or doing things out in the dining room. My husband doesn't participate. He likes to stay by himself, though. It's kind of expensive, but it's a good place."
