"I visited Brookdale Monterey and I liked it a lot. The only problem is my dad has more medical issues and tends to pull out his catheter, so it would be a problem in this assisted living community. I felt that this might be a good place, and they're really straight with you. If things change down the line, I might think about it. What I really like about this place is the people; they're really responsive. I couldn't see the staff sitting there and just talking to one another. I often see that in other places where the younger staff members are congregating while the residents are just off doing their own thing. They are attending to the residents more than some of the other places I saw. I love the fact that they have a 24/7 nursing staff; that's quite unusual for assisted living. That provides peace of mind for the families. We met one of the male RNs there, and that's comforting. He knew right away what was going on. Guys like having male nurses too. They also gave us some cookies and my dad liked them."

"It is pretty and comfortable, and my mother loves the food. She’s in physical therapy. The staff is friendly and very helpful. They serve three meals a day, and they have a van available for doctor’s appointments. She likes it there. "

"I had been for a tour. It was clean. They had an area in the front where people were being engaged in some activities, and I liked that. I like the rooms. I like the staff, too. The staff seemed friendly and sincere. They had an apartment that had the floor redone and painted, and that's where my mom is going to go. They just had some bad weather, so the front of it had a lot of leaves plastered to the building, but it just happened. In the apartment, they had a refrigerator and a sink."

"I moved into the Residence at Wolfforth. They don't maintain the common areas. They don't clean. They don't have somebody clean the common areas. It's a nice-sized room: the kitchen, the living room, the bedroom, and the bathroom. There's a shower, a washer, and a dryer right across from each other. So, it's all in one apartment. The washer and dryer come with the apartment and all the kitchen appliances. They provide the water. You pay for the electricity, and get your own internet and everything. It's a comfortable apartment. I'm happy with the apartment. It's just that I wish they would have some maintenance come in and mop the floors, and do things like that. All they have right now is a staffing agent, and they expect her to clean, but she's too busy being a staffing agent to do the cleaning. I really like her. She's a good person, but they're expecting too much out of her. A maintenance crew comes in every once in a while, when something goes wrong, as far as cleaning goes."

"Currently, my parents are in Library of Legacies. They are very comfortable. It pretty well fit everything that we were looking for. They had recently replaced a fair amount of their staff. Some of them had worked there previously before the new owners took place. They had more education and are really turning the place around. The food is pretty good. They have bingo, little music events where they can come together and sing, board games, and crossword puzzles. The rooms are very clean. After 3:00 p.m., the doors are locked. They have a code to exit, and they do have cameras outside. They're doing a wonderful job. "

"I did a tour of the Isle at Raider Ranch. Their staff members were professional and kind. They treated us to lunch and gave us a parting gift, a gift bag. It was fun and the food is good. We toured a one-bedroom that had a southern-facing balcony overlooking a koi pond. It's a beautiful facility. They have a very festive dining area. We ate in the main building. There are two dining areas. There were a lot of people sitting together, socializing, and Christmas music. It was very pleasant. The dining area is set up restaurant style. There were choices on the menu. The grounds are well laid out. It's a large campus, but things are fairly easy to access. Folks were doing Christmas-type activities. We saw a very active schedule of activities. In terms of exercise, they had a full schedule. There was an exercise room and an activities room. There were indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, koi ponds, and a dog park."

"My mom lives at Raider Ranch. It's very nice. They have really nice facilities and really nice apartments. My mom has a two-bedroom, and she has a kitchen, and that gives me room to go and visit her and stay for a while because I don't live in the same town. They have a variety of food. Each day they have a different menu and good meals. They have different activities. They have a pool for exercise or volleyball in the pool. On Friday they have what they call happy hour where they have music come in. They all enjoy that, the music and dancing. It's a really nice place."

"I put down a deposit on Wilshire on 4th, and things are rolling along. My friend has a room and it's for memory care. It's a small facility. They have 16 rooms and they're all single rooms. It's one of the most affordable of the places that we talked to. They had a gathering room with a TV, and I saw several people there. It was 4:00, and there were several people in the dining room with activities at the time. The room was kind of small, but it's just one person in the room. It had a bathroom and a huge closet with a built-in dresser. The toilet and sink were in that area, but the shower was down the hall. Most falls happen in the shower, so there's always somebody in the shower with the residents. The lady who showed us around was very informative and asked lots of questions about the kind of care that my friend needed. They were open to everything that we needed. It was clean. Because it's a memory care place, the doors were locked. They have the licensing for locking the doors. They can't get out the door unless one of the staff members opens the door. They had the common area that was like a living room, and a common area that was like a dining room. There was a large backyard that I didn't really look at, but they mentioned that they take people out there and enjoy the sun."

"My mom was a resident at Wilshire. It was a beautiful place. The staff members were wonderful. They catered to the residents. The administrator and activities director were wonderful. Mother always complained about the food, it was institutional like any other, but it's good quality food. We highly recommend Wilshire to anybody because they were great."

"My husband stayed at Crown Point Health Suites. They were all individual rooms, and they were large. Each one had a wheelchair accessible shower. The staff care was excellent. There was a big community room where they showed movies and played games and stuff like that. There were several wings, and each wing had their own dining room and their own kitchen. The food was fabulous. Interaction with the staff was fabulous. My husband was one of those cheerful, chitchat, tease kind of people. The staff really enjoyed him as much as he enjoyed them. There was physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. He was in declining health, and his strength was declining, and after so many days therapy was not needed or appropriate, because he was declining instead of progressing. There were a few little glitches in the room and maintenance was there within an hour. The facility was really clean. I got to know some of the long-term residents a little bit, and they seemed very happy there. The director was really good, but the residents did not come to the activities very much. The movie afternoon was well attended and they had things on the calendar almost every day. It's kind of expensive, but the care was really good."

"My sister is at BeeHive Homes of Lubbock. It doesn't look like a hospital. It looks like a home. Everybody there is very friendly. You know them by name, and they know you by name. Her room is very airy and sunny. She has a very bright window. She's an artist, and she can hang her artwork and make it hers. We've already made the room feel like her, and everybody has taken her in and taken her under their wing. She feels very nurtured. She was at another facility, and to leave a clinical environment and go to a home where you are lovingly cared for has just brightened her. It's given her a smile. There are attendants there around the clock. There are nurses available. Her doctor pays visits regularly. She is getting the care she needs, but she's getting it in a home environment in a loving, nurturing way. There's one lady I know who has been in that environment for six years. She's 101 years old, and she has her pink fuzzy blanket that they always make sure she has when she tootles around. You feel like everybody is taking care of their own grandmother. It's a very loving environment. They see my sister as a great addition. They love her artwork. They love her smile and her enthusiasm. They spend time with her. It was the exact right place for my sister, and I'm so happy that we found it. Even the attendants are so friendly. They're warm and loving. It's just a wonderful feeling to have her there. Food is great home cooking; it is not industrial cooking. The cornbread is homemade. When they found out she really likes something, they made sure to include it. It's just wonderful home cooking. The cook is really wonderful. The hospice sends out nurses too, and the hospice nurses are good. I've never seen anybody skip anything, be late, or not be there exactly when it's supposed to happen. It's like you walked into somebody's beautiful home. It's clean. It's decorated in a warm, beautiful way. I think there are 14 patients in this home, but you would think it's just three or four grandparents living in the home. It's kept so neat. They still have some of the patriotic Fourth of July decorations up, but it's decorated in a way that's not overboard. Everybody's room is uniquely their own. Each room has loving memories of who they are, with pictures and photos. It's like you're walking into each person's living room. They keep it immaculately clean, and that's so important."

"I went to visit my Grandma and she clean all warm in her blankets the staff was nice. To us as well "

"Tanglewood Village was really older, small, clean and quiet. They only had two tables in their dining area. It was more expensive than others that were nicer; I don't understand why. However, it was very clean and the people were very nice and very helpful. "

"Clean friendly atmosphere was impeccable would recommend to anybody looking for senior housing"
