Communities in Weatherford, TX

"I was very impressed by Westmore, I thought the food was excellent, and I thought the service was excellent. I loved the way the common rooms were furnished, and I loved the outdoor pool, but the trouble was they had a long waiting list to get in there. The staff was excellent, I met a couple of the residents, and I was very impressed with them. I liked everything about it. They had a movie room, and they had a good exercise program. "

"We looked at Broadway at Westover Hills. Their rooms were not as big as the other facilities I've looked at. I liked the location because it's the part of Fort Worth that I used to live in, so I am more familiar with it. Everyone there seemed very nice, as well, when we went to visit. They were also very knowledgeable. The person who took us around was very nice and very helpful. He also knew the answers to all the questions that I had. We saw a room, and it was very nice. "

"My parents are at Waterview Senior Living. We decided on this place because of its location and it fits all of our needs. It's a good size facility as it is not too big. The staff has been really good. The rooms were very nice. It’s fairly new facility and every looks cleans and new. I tried the food and it was excellent. They do have different activities like bridge, bingo, dominos, movies, field trips, and walks. They have a workout facility also. So far, I am very happy with the facility. "

"My tour at The Ridglea Senior Living went just fine. I liked the community because of its location. I perceived the level of care and attention to the patient was good. I also liked the food and the activities that were available there. The staff were very professional. They seemed very caring towards their residents and putting the residents' needs first. The quality of the food was very good. They had a nice fresh salad. They also had an entree of Salisbury steak, which was very good, well cooked, and well prepared. They had a dessert of apple pie, and it was good also. They had an active gym, where the residents could either workout during classes, take aerobics, or exercise by themselves. They had walking paths and outdoor areas that were pleasant."

"My husband was at Avalon's The Willows for about three years. He had a single room and all the residents had single rooms except for some couples. The staff was cordial and they did anything you asked from them. They changed the linens thrice a week. They had home health accessible that came when necessary and also a doctor. They had three cooks and all of them were very good and they cooked wonderful meals. They encouraged the family to eat with the residents. There were also activities like bingo and memory games, as well as holiday inclusive dinners for the family. They kept the residents in open population as much as possible and they did not let anyone lay in bed all day. You had access to your loved one 24 hours a day even if I came for lunch, dinner or anytime. My daughter came in on weekends and stayed with her father for the whole weekend and they provided meals for her too. I would suggest adding more activities and more training for the staff. "

"We toured Sunrise of Fort Worth, it was sort of our second choice. Their facilities were comparable. But to get to the memory care unit, you have to go in the lobby, and then have a circuitous route back towards the memory care unit. And since mom has great-grandchildren, which are still very young, we didn't think it was practical to march them through all these other people to go visit their great-grandmother. They had a couple of rooms that they showed us that they said they hadn't cleaned up since the clients had departed, and there was a little bit of mold in the showers. The shower heads were kind of dripping and they were in the middle of what appeared to be some maintenance work. They were changing the wallpaper and putting in new light fixtures and things like that. When my daughter and I visited them, it was the middle of the week but two in the afternoon and there didn't seem to be anybody working at that time on those maintenance items, so it was a little unusual. So we weren't sure whether they were taking good care of the maintenance and their people, or whether they were just kind of having it halfway done and taking a while to get through it all. They had good people there, the staff members were attentive to the clients, and they were attentive to visitors. Any questions you had they had answers for you or recommendations of where to get the answer from. Their grounds were well-tended, there was greenery everywhere. They had nice shady places to go outside and relax and enjoy. Interior-wise, it's all updated and modern looking, but not sterile like a hospital. It's more like a home, they had fireplaces and it was nice. But again, that maintenance didn't seem to be getting done the way it should be."

"The room is basic, but nice. The food is good. I love all the staff who have helped with my grandmother. They really seem to care."

"Mirabella Assisted Living was a very nice facility. The person who toured us she was extremely nice, and I met the chef who was very nice, as well. "

"I'm very impressed, from the personal touch to the care and the camaraderie. They get along really well and they seem to truly care for their residents. They have very nice rooms and amenities, and they have a salon. The interaction with the residents was very personal. The place was beautiful."

"Heartis Eagle Mountain is brand new and clean, and they're very good to the people they have there. There are only 22, so it's not even near half full. The food is really good, and they have lots of activities for the seniors if they choose to participate. My dad has a suit and a patio access door, so you had to pay more for that, but if you feel like being outside in the garden area, it’s a great room. You get a lot of one on one when you’re out and about of your room, and there's always somebody around to say Hello or help you and get you whatever you need if you need anything. They've always got coffee and snacks on hand for guests and residents. It's just a nice new place. "

"Bethesda Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care Fort Worth gave a proper tour. The lady showed me around and told me everything that I was curious about. It was a decent home. It was clean and the people were friendly. I also met some of the residents and everybody seemed to be what I expected."

"I visited Brookdale Tanglewood Oaks, the lady was very nice, but she understood our financials, and this was not something we are going to do. Her fees were higher than anybody else when I compared them. It was well-maintained. The dining setup was nice, they had a place for the family to gather, and a place for the seniors to watch a movie."

"I toured The Grandview of Chisholm Trail. What I like best about it is that it's brand new. It's very nicely decorated and very clean. What I like about it is that it's huge. The staff seem very interactive with their clients. They knew all their names. The food was very good. They have many options for each meal. You had a choice of 2 or 3. It was a formal dining setting with crystal. The residents there are at a much higher level. The dining area has a wide open area with multiple small tables. It's very nice."

"I was able to tour Mustang Creek Estates - Burleson's new building that they made for memory care. It was still in progress, but it was nice. The person giving me the tour was great. There was a resident there and she was asleep right there, when you first walk in, at a dining table. I was like "Why is she there?" And nobody was checking on her until I left. He explained that she likes to be out where everyone is, even though she's napping, she likes to be there. Another resident came out, and she said hello and she was smiling. She seemed happy. They showed me a private and a semi-private room, the size and layout were fine. They were brand new, so they were clean. I saw their activities area which was nice."
