Raider Ranch was excellent. We've had experiences with them. My in-laws lived there for several years, so we knew what to expect, but it was just out of our budget. It was good. The staff was excellent. The residents were welcoming as well. The room was superb, but overall it was just out of the price range, so it was marked off the list. The room that we were focused on was just a single-bedroom apartment, and that's what it is. It's an apartment, and it's got all the accommodations for a washer, dryer, and a full kitchen. My dad is alone, so he is used to having meals either brought to him or he go out to eat. He's also used to having his laundry done, so paying the extra amount of money to have full apartment amenities as far as the kitchen and washer /dryer just made it out of his range. It is just a matter of being able to afford to live there.

Raider Ranch was very well manicured, and the grounds were very nice. The young lady was extremely nice and friendly, but the rooms were very dark. It was a one-bedroom, but that's not what we were looking for because they didn't have many rooms to choose from since they were full (which is a good thing). There's only one dining area, and to me, it seemed so small and was crowded.
The amenities they had were a weightlifting room, a swimming pool, another workout room, and places to play cards and gatherings. So, they had several things that they could choose from. You could work on puzzles in a room, you could reserve a room if you wanted to have a bunch of people come over and play cards, places you could walk, and a nice porch area if you want to just sit outside. I think they have dances every Friday night or at least every other Friday night too and watch parties for sporting events. You could sign up for a bus and go somewhere in the city for a group activity or a sporting event, or to a doctor's appointment if need be. They had a lot of choices that were very nice.
The front desk did something that was really cool. I thought they had our names in a sign that said 'Welcome for your tour.", then they immediately offered us something to drink. We only met two people from the staff but they were very friendly. They had the facility updated recently and there were some areas that the halls were nice and wide.

I visited Raider Ranch in Lubbock, and the tour was very good. The staff was very good. The facility was excellent, and the rooms were very nice. It's a resort-type facility. They have a dining room, indoor and outdoor pool, a hot tub, a gym, outings, activities, and pretty much anything you want. They have games, crafts, puzzles, exercise classes, movies, and a library. It's easily accessible, and it's a good place.

I like Raider Ranch. I toured it in person. It's nice large areas especially with Covid, you don't want to be too close to anybody. I like all the activities that they have every day and the onsite people. Activities are water volleyball, water aerobics, and chair yoga. They have a lot of puzzles, libraries, and a weight room. Everybody was still wearing masks except for the people that were living there. Everybody has had their shots. They were one of the first ones when they got the shots. I only met two staff members, but they were nice. They gave me the menu to look at. Every day is a different type of meal, but then they have like four that are constant on the menu. I know of the chef from one of my ex-coworkers, so I know he's a very good chef.

Raider Ranch is a beautiful facility, but my dad has been sent a lot of packages and cards that he is not able to receive, even though they have the correct address on them. The staff members just walk into his unit unannounced and they claim they knocked first. They could be more aware of who their residents are and where the residents are. He participates in zero of the amenities, and it's very expensive. There are three pools, activities, and a dining area, and it's a very nice facility. I'd like to live there. What they offer for the price is great.

I have been part of Raider Ranch Villas for exactly 11 months. I want to thank whoever is in charge of the office personnel. I have been lucky enough to have been exposed to each and everyone who is in management. They are a huge part of what makes Raider Ranch so special and each one although different individuals are a great team player. Your management is awesome and all are above the normal cut and I appreciate what they represent and how hard they work at trying to help all of us at Raider Ranch. I have basically been in management for over 50 years and I know how hard it is to get everyone on the same page and I am impressed with their attitude a great deal.

Raider Ranch is what we want for mom. The staff was very professional. Everything was top notch. The apartments were very nice, well kept, and looked good. The feedback from other people was good. They had different programs for different patients. The location was in a good part of town three blocks from my house.

Raider Ranch was a nice place with a lot of activities, like swimming and water aerobics. They had an exercise room and provided three meals a day. Vanessa showed us around and our room. We're moving into a brand-new facility which has just opened up with really nice homes in the independent living and assisted living, too. They have a big clubhouse and a new addition that they call The Bridge, which is where we're going. The Bridge is assisted living if you need it. You wear a call button around your neck and press it if you need help 24/7. We had a nice meal there, and everybody was nice and friendly.
Provider Response
Raider Ranch appreciates your kind review and we are proud that you are enjoying your new apartment in our newest addition to the independent living community. The optional Bridge program is a very unique concept that combines the benefits of independent living with personalized non-medical assistance custom-tailored to your specific needs provided by our courteous Bridge Associates with our legendary West Texas hospitality.

I have already settled in Raider Ranch, and I've been here almost a year. My overall experience has been very good. I have an apartment, and it is beautiful. The staff is very caring. They serve our food, but I can cook if I want to. We have recreational activities everyday like strength and balance, water volleyball, movies, and wifi bowling; they got a lot of stuff.

This facility is very new and doesn't show any signs of wear and tear yet. I was very impressed with how modern the amenities are in each unit. The staff seems only adequate and I hear from my grandparents that some things have gone missing before. Visitors are welcome at meals, which are small but adequately prepared. The one downside of eating there is how long it takes. On multiple occasions we have spent in excess of 1.5 hrs at a very simple one-course lunch. The facility offers several levels of assistance include memory care. In the memory care portion of the facility, there is constant monitoring from very caring professionals. I would recommend this facility to those that can afford it.
