The Best Senior Living Communities in New Braunfels, TX

"I picked The Legacy at Forrest Ridge for my mom because they had more actual apartments. Like the one that we are getting actually has three rooms because it has a little kitchen area where it has just the refrigerator and counters and counter doors, it has a room that you can make into a bedroom, and then it has a separate room for a living room area. So I wanted her to have more like an apartment and not necessarily an assisted living place. "

"I toured Brookdale San Marcos South. They offered anything I needed. The woman I met was very helpful. I was able to taste the food. I was able to visit the rooms, and it was nice and pretty well."

"I had an in-person tour of Sage Spring. I walked through the cafeteria. Everything was nice and clean. The room and closet were a little small. I wasn't quite sure that it would accommodate everything that my friend had. It was a single room. The staff was great, very informative, and professional."

"From the time I walked in, I felt welcomed at Brookdale San Marcos North. I toured for my dad and everyone from the people who work there to the residents stopped us on our visit and told me I should move my dad in. I saw a group playing dominoes, a staff playing pool with a resident, people doing puzzles, and several others visiting in the lobby and little living rooms they have all throughout the facility. Some of the other residents were out on a bus trip to HEB, where they take the residents every week. The building is older but clean and well maintained and they said they are getting a renovation this year. I ended up staying for lunch and the food was delicious."

"My mother‘s journey ended last night It has been such a blessing to have my mom at Seasons Memory Care on Nacodoches Road. I have nothing but the highest praise for everything from the level of care to the compassion my mom received from the entire team. There are no words powerful enough to thank you for this experience. Tamika, Lisa, Nicole Hospice, Leona Hospice, Lenora Activities, Arlene Director, Mari, and so many others have been an incredible comfort and support to me throughout this difficult journey. My mom never lost her smile, and I believe it was because she was with people who truly cared about her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Mona, for welcoming my mother and putting the right people in place. I know I am leaving out so many, from social workers to hospice workers, who I have not mentioned, but every single one played a valuable part in my mom’s care. Thank you."

"We were not very impressed with Victory Home. They didn't seem very organized nor had a good meal plan. They just loaded everyone up to go to adult day care. The house was not as kept up as we would've liked. They had a living room, but that was it. The staff seemed OK. They didn't have a menu for a week, so we didn't know what kind of food to expect. The facility seemed a bit rundown, and the flooring was all torn up. It didn't look like they were in the middle of replacing it. It looked like they just tore up the carpet and the tile."

"I chose Brookdale Nacogdoches for my friend because it's strictly for memory-impaired residents. It's a small community and I found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. I felt it was the right place for her. They play games in the morning, do exercise programs, and have a varied activity schedule. There's always something for the residents to participate in. Their staff is excellent. Everyone I've dealt with has been very helpful. I've seen how they interact with the other residents and they're wonderful. The place is very clean. I think it's well worth the price."

"My husband is in Sodalis at San Marcos and it is a very nice, clean place. The staff is very good and they have different activities every day like exercise, playing cards, dominoes, and prayer meetings. The dining area is very clean and good."

"I toured Emerald Oaks. It was very good. It's a smaller community. It is all in one building, and I liked the apartment I saw. They also have lots of different activities to keep you going. It's a newer place, and has three meals a day. I did have a meal there, and it was very good. The people are very accommodating, nice, and friendly, and I enjoyed that. At first, I thought that's where I wanted to be, but it's more expensive and not quite as much character to the apartment."

"I moved into Sodalis Windcrest at San Antonio. It's close to my daughter's house, so that makes it convenient. I had seen this facility, and I liked it. I like the people here and the way they treat you. There's a lot of privacy if you want, but if you don't, you can go into the activity room or to the cafeteria. They're the same thing; that's where you go to eat if you don't want to eat in your room. I always go to the activity room and eat with somebody else. The staff is always there. It doesn't take long to get them if you need them. They don't bother you if you don't want to be bothered, but they're there. You can call them anytime. They're also close to the way it's arranged. My room is close to the main office, which is convenient. I enjoyed their food. It's well-balanced. It's not too much, and if you want more, you can have it, but they are always quite a bit on the plate. Everything's good here. When you don't feel good, they bring it to your room. It's very clean. They keep the room very nice. There is no dust anywhere. I can tell when they've been in the bathroom. You can smell the freshness in there. It has a walk-in shower, a lavatory, and a toilet. It's a small bedroom with a sink, and the kitchen has a little refrigerator. There's not too much storage space, but I don't need it since my meals are all here, and I have chest drawers. They always have something if you want to. You don't have to attend, but there's always something going on, like games and exercise. They have trips two times a week. They have trips to take you to the Dollar store, and there's a Walmart close by. Another reason why I chose it is because it is a good price and since they do everything for you, including the laundry, you don't have to do that, which makes it nice. They're very well equipped here."

"I toured Sodalis at Stone Oak. They showed me the memory care. The apartments were small. The tour was good. The staff was very caring. Everybody knew everyone's name and greeted everyone kindly. It was very clean. We did go outside. It was nice out there and they had tables and chairs."

"I am very pleased with the care and respect my mother received at the facility. The staff call me to keep me informed of changes. My mother loves the Lord and staff will have Bible study daily with her to keep her spirits lifted. Staff are always smiling and loving. I really trust my mom is in the best place. When she moved in they assessed per prescriptions and found many of these could be eliminated. Previous facility over medicated. They pay attention if she does not want to eat to offer a substitute or assess if she feels ill. I am so pleased. My brother and I joined mom for lunch one Saturday to celebrate her birthday and the food was great. The food was served on china. I have observed this as well on days I visit and walk with her to the dining area, s as Jesus good food in nice table setting. This makes for a happy place to eat. "

"I toured Alexis Pointe of Wimberley Senior Living. I liked that it's in a small town, and it felt very warm. The staff seemed to know all of the folks. They were very open talking to me, and I like the three levels of care in one facility. I only saw one room. They were fairly full. They had one that had just come available, but it had not been cleaned out yet so, I didn't get a real sense of it. It was adequate. Knowledgeable and kind staff. I talked to the intake person. And then I talked to the person that had responsibility for memory care. And they were all very professional. I saw some activities in the memory care wing, and they had an activity director talking to a couple of women."

"The staff at Camino Real is very friendly. The atmosphere is very homey and very comforting. The rooms are large. There's plenty of outdoor and indoor space. I liked the way the dining room is set up for the meals and the things that the residents have like mini-fridges in their room for their own personal use (if they want snacks or sodas or whatever, they can keep some in their room). They also have their own microwaves in their room. It's not a full kitchen, but that makes it very people-friendly, even for somebody who needs assisted living, and I think my friend would be very comfortable and very happy once she's there. Because I visited on a weekend, there's not as much of a staff, but the people that were there were very helpful when they explained about their routines and their activities and all the things that are available as they took me around. You can work in their garden if you want to or do art if you want to. There's so much for them to do. They are not just sitting around with nothing to do and nothing to think about. From looking at their menu and just smelling the food, I think the food is great. I am very, very pleased and very, very impressed with the entire facility and the staff."
