Memory Care Communities in Waco, TX

"We toured The Delaney at Lake Waco for my mother-in-law. I liked that it was a fresh new building, and it's only a few years old. I liked the lake view because it's right there next to Lake Waco. You could see it from the bedrooms that they showed us. I liked the dining area. It was very nice, and the common activity areas were really good. They were nice and has a large enough room for everybody. The staff was extremely friendly. I spoke to several different ones, and they were all very knowledgeable and helpful. It was a great experience, and they offered a lot of indoor and outdoor activities. I think one of the things that I really liked is that they had a rehab available in-house. They have a beauty salon, exercise classes, church services, and a movie theater."

"We used it for day care, respite care and later full time care. It provides freedom of movement inside and out, great porch, lots of roaming room inside and out, lots of windows and sunshine. Quite, peaceful, lots of staff interaction, upbeat home-feeling setting. Staff attentive and tuned in to quality of life issues. Residents really like it. "

"Of all of the ones that I have visited, Brookdale Lake Brazos felt like they were the ones who could give my mother the help that she needed. I've not only visited with the sales director there, I met some of the people that live there and sat down with them as well. And that meant a whole lot to me because I want to see people that are happy at where they are. And those folks were very happy, and they had their own stories and testimonies. And they sell the product is what I'd say. And I was most impressed with that. Some of the ladies that lived there told me that the food wasn't so great last year during COVID, but they said they have a new chef named Oscar. And he makes great food, is what they told me. I didn't get to taste it or see it, I just saw the dining room. I saw two or three rooms. And the one thing I noticed is that the people that live there might need more help keeping their rooms organized and clean. They had several centers there like arts and crafts, movies and they have lots of different activities going on. But the only thing I saw that was going on is that they were in the movies; they were having popcorn, several of them. They're not brand new, they're an older facility. They could probably do a little more cleaning on the outside."

"I did a tour. I liked the cleanliness, the staff, and the activities that they had. The staff was quick if you needed attention on anything. They were very thorough. I was impressed with them. They gave you a choice of three different things on what you want to eat. I checked around with some of the people that were living there, and they said the food was excellent. They had balloon volleyball, bingo, and they had an exercise class going on as well."

"It is very clean, and it has a welcoming atmosphere. The residents there appeared happy and were playing games. Some were eating in the dining room when I went. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I just had a good experience with them. The staff was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. They have a library and a theater, and they were adding an exercise room. They have some exercise equipment. I like the fact that they have outings, play games, and have set activities for the residents as well."

"I saw The Blake at Waco. It felt very youthful and very attentive. And for people who come from more of an upscale background, it probably felt homier. The staff was excellent. The food was excellent. It looks like they're always on top of it. They've made it feel much more like a residence and communal place. They're very inviting, from what we could tell. It felt very residential. It felt very much like you were going to a lovely hotel, more than a facility. And I think the people that they were aiming at wanted to feel like it was a residence and probably felt like this was a four-star or five-star resort. This place looked like you were interactive and it was a community."
