Discovery Village North Dallas

We toured Five Star Premier Residences of Dallas. I think what my husband liked most about it was that it was covered and had much more secure parking for the vehicle. The possibility of their two bedrooms was very nice. We did appreciate that more, and it had a kitchen, which we may need if these places can't give us food that my husband can eat. It was very nice. Everything looks good inside and outside. The staff was very helpful.

I was very impressed with Five Star Premier Residences of Dallas. It was beautiful, and I enjoyed the tour. The staff who assisted me could not be nicer. The apartment was very nice, and I was impressed. There was a large atrium with all of the units around it. The apartment that I looked at was a 2-bedroom with large rooms, a beautiful living room/dining room combination, and a large kitchen. I met the chef, and he gave me a dinner package to go home with, which was very good. It had covered parking and valet parking.

I would highly rate Residences of Dallas. The place was large and attractive. The staff members were great and friendly people. Their food was excellent as well.

Everything about Five Star is very nice. The food is great, and the people are very nice. The apartment was big, which was the main positive. We tried to get my mom into another place and couldn't get in, so we're on a waiting list. The bedroom and the living room were large and felt more like a home. They have classes and all kinds of things, so it's nice.

Five Star Premier Residences of Dallas has all the amenities my father could ever need. They lave low turnover rates. The employees tend to stay there for a very long time. The rooms are clean and spacious. The food is quite good. It's made to order and not buffet style; it's restaurant style. He will move in on Saturday. He is an avid card player, and they have a Bridge club there.

Two of my closest relatives have both have lived in the 5 Star in Dallas for a bunch of years now. The place truly is a class act. It is mostly geared towards independent living, but some residents are in the assisted living class. That is the nice thing about the place. They have options for you for both the independent and assisted levels of care. If the resident is independent, you may not need or want too many services, but they are there for you. For example, you may personally participate in their optional wellness package (which provides things like med reminders, check in on person, escort to dining room and the like) and another more advanced ambassador package that optionally allows more 1 on 1 care. I have been very very pleased with both. As an example, my 1 relative recently had some shortness of breathing. One of the staff members on wellness brought it to my attention and then trained the other staff members to do exactly the right set of steps in cases of need. I was very impressed. I didn't even know it was happening; it was just part of what they do. Another caregiver who provides 1 on 1 services to the same relative communicates with us on a daily basis and also transmits via text very concise daily updates. That is service ! To me the care and service are most important which is why I mentioned it all first. But, other aspects of the place are equally impressive. The setting is beautiful. The lobby is grand; the diningroom is very fancy and the food is very very good. The apartments are extremely nice. Maintainance over the years has been very good and addresses problems well. There is a 24/7 attendent at the front desk helping residence and making sure only residents and guests come in and there are very competent and experienced people behind it all. The place has movies a few times a week, stuff like bingo, bridge, musicians coming in, periodic trips to places (e.g. Ft Worth Museum, State fair, etc) They have a shuttle that takes residents who sign up within a certain proximity of the facility. All in all, a very class act.
