"My mother moved into Isle at Raider Ranch in Lubbock. She's there for assisted living, and it is a very nice facility. They seem to have a better level of care than where she used to be. I asked about the laundry, and all of her laundry was done the next day, even though it was not her laundry day, and that was impressive. Their food looks much better, and she has better choices. The facility seems to be very clean, too. I know she had a light bulb that was flickering, and they turned in a work order, and the next day, when I was there, it had been changed. They have a workout room, and I know they have activities like volleyball. I have also seen people playing bridge, board games, puzzles, and all sorts of other things, like walking through the hallways. Whenever I've asked for something, the staff follow through with it, and they are always very pleasant. Another thing I like about them is that the resident assistants, the med techs, and the people who work in the cafeteria or the dining room each have their own jobs. At her previous place, the med techs would be bringing people down to the dining room, and they were serving the food along with the resident assistants. They were all doing that job. They're fairly expensive, but if we get the care that my mom needs, then I'm fine with that."

"Our experiences with Raider Ranch have been very good. Mom has always been in the independent living and that's where she still is. They pay attention to her. They check on her at mealtime three times a day. They have a dining room or you can have your meals delivered to your room, which we like. Before she got so sick, she took advantage of each of those. She would go down to the dining room sometimes, and then other times she had her food delivered, and the food was quite good. They have three buildings and they have an activity room and a gym in each one and a living room with a big screen TV. They have a swimming pool and some walking paths outdoors. They have activities every day but she was not taking part in very many of those. They have bingo, bunco, and other card games that they play down in the living room a lot. She preferred to read in her room or watch a movie or something like that."

"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."

"I chose the BeeHive Homes of Lubbock for my father. He's been there four days but he passed away Monday. They met my needs and they're very caring. My mom is there too. Her room is efficient. And she eats what she can, and they catered to her as far as her likes and dislikes. My mom has only been there four days. They're very good."

"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"

"I was a patient at the plaza. I had 2 broke arms ,1 broke leg,1 crushed leg. I was there for 9 months. If it wasn't for the aides ,nurses and physical therapy. I would never have made it home. I liked it so good. I'm having a knee replacement. I'm planning on going back for therapy. I would recommend it to anyone "

"My mom is at Sisters of Loving Arms Care Home. It's in the older part of Lubbock. They have large, beautiful homes in the area. This is an older home that probably could use a few updates, but the people are very nice. The staff is very nice, too. They only have 8 residents at a time, so they're able to give a little bit more personal care. In terms of activities, they have played games like dominoes or cards and played bingo at one time. My mom has a TV in her room, and she likes TV. But they don't take them to their appointments. The family has to take them to doctor's appointments. The dining room has one large table. The ones that can sit at the table, come to the table. But if you're not feeling good or you don't want to, they will serve your food to your room. It would be nice if they could get a little bit more activities. The place is clean. It could use some upgrading. But if my mom needs help with anything, she can just pull one of the strings and she has a thing that she wears on her neck sometimes that she can call them to come and help her."

"I moved my wife to a Mountain Top facility about three weeks ago. I have seen nothing but respect and love for her and her care. The meals are very good and my wife enjoys them. it is indeed a comfortable and Christian home like environment. The people that work there are very nice and they are friendly. I am always greeted with a smile!"

"My mom is a resident of Wedgewood South. I walked in and immediately felt so warm and fuzzy about the place. I was immediately greeted at the door by somebody who wanted to show me around and help me. I just dropped in unexpectedly. I didn't have an appointment, but she showed me everything that they have to offer. I was just blown away by how wonderful the staff members were. The facilities didn't smell. They were updated and were immaculately clean. It was just cozy. Her apartment is very nice. It's not huge, it's a studio apartment, but it's mid-sized. It has a little kitchenette with minimal kitchen capability, a sink, a microwave, and a refrigerator. They've got a little living area so she can watch TV in that little bedroom area that's kind of in the little alcove, so it's more private. She's got her own bathroom, which is beautiful. At home she had not been able to shower, just a sponge bath, and here she can take a shower and she's got people to help her do that. I think she likes it there. I have not tried the food, but my mother loves it. She's just getting so much more variety than she was giving herself at home, and she loves it. The facility is very nice. They have community dining, and it's kind of nice. Their community is divided into six sections, and each section has 12 apartments to it. The dining area is set up for the 12 residents, so they get to meet each other on a more intimate level. The staff members then just take care of those 12. They have a six to one ratio for nursing care, plus the medication nurse that works there. The setup is like nothing I saw, and that's what brought me to it because it was so individualized there. The cost is a little high."

"Bender Terrace is a delightful place. When I went with my mom and grandma to visit, looking for a place for my grandmother, we were thrilled. It has a warm, friendly feeling all about it. We felt it would be something my grandma could grow into, and still keep a feeling of being independent as well. It is in a good area in Lubbock, well maintained and quiet. I really liked that they had transportation available to the residents, and also housekeeping services, activities, and meals could be included. Even though we did go with another place, this is certainly one to consider. "
