The community relations director of Colonial Oaks at Braeswood, Sarah, gave me some wonderful personal information for me to digest my feelings about what was going on with my mom as well some ideas on what to look for in a living facility. So I would say her information was valuable. She was very, very kind and patient. She was just very generous in her sharing and in her support.
The facility was a little older than some of the others that I have visited, but that doesn't have anything to do with the level of care.

Since we would be in the area checking out another facility, we made it a point to visit Colonial Oaks At Braeswood in the same region. My brother's friend has a lot of friends and family near the area - so it is a favorite.
It is important that my brother's friend really enjoy his later years - so we're trying to find just the right place for him.
The common areas were nicely decorated and home-like. There were many places for residents to enjoy a variety of activities, from games to reading and seeing films. Some of the residents participate in the community gardens and educational programs.
We liked that they prepare care plans around what each person needs - and that they are flexible enough to change the level of care as becomes necessary. The staff was very friendly and we could see that the residents are all happy there.
The grounds were well tended and we could see that there is plenty of room for residents to spread out and enjoy activities with friends and family, such as picnics, or enjoy the many seating areas however they wish.
The dining areas were warm and friendly. The food and snacks we saw all looked delicious. The staff takes the time to offer foods that look and smell appetizing.
The private living quarters were all styled and sized nicely. The community seemed intimate, yet private enough so that residents could enjoy themselves peacefully.
We enjoyed our visit at this facility and would recommend that people in the area who are looking for a good home for a loved one check it out.

i have visited colonial oaks several times. The residents all seem content and well cared for, there's a friendly atmosphere, and a resident is allowed to bring their cat.
