We toured Preston Place. I wasn't too impressed with them. It's rather small, but it's very attractive. The security gate, which they said would work, was never working. We've been there at least three times, and we could never see the security gate (which was sort of by remote) had worked. The unit was a little too small for us as seniors. The community was very nice because they had an elevator, and we liked that. But parking security at night, we didn't see that it ever operated properly, so we were apprehensive about making an application. They seemed to have most amenities that one would expect. It's just that those issues there with the security of parking and the size of the units were a bit of a concern, and that's what turned us around.

Everything is an overwhelming positive here: my apartment, the delicious food, planned activities, accommodating staff, gratis transportation anywhere, overall atmosphere and feeling of safety.

I already moved into Preston Place. I love it here. It's a wonderful community. Everyone's very friendly. The grounds are beautiful. The staff is wonderful. I give it a ten plus plus plus. It's a beautiful place to live. Everything is wonderful here. It's great. They have a restaurant here and the chef is very good. You can't ask for a better area. We're right in the middle of everything. It's one of the reasons I chose it because it is very centrally located for shopping and groceries. It's very well planned. They have swim class, art class, happy hour, bingo, Keno, card playing, and poker. The amenities available here are endless. They have outside activities. They have a bus here, and they take us to different activities as well as to needed appointments.

We live in Preston Place. Through the pandemic we've had good leadership. We lost some of the special activities that we had before the pandemic, but they're coming back now, so that is good. My wife and I do our own cooking, so we do not use the kitchen facility here very often, but when we have eaten here, the food is excellent. We especially like the summertime activities around the pool. They also have exercises in the pool, which are very beneficial. This time of the year they still have exercises every day available for everybody to participate if they choose to. Other than that, they have entertainment periodically. The entertainment we have is probably typical of what they have at many other places, but we enjoy it. They have enough that we don't feel like we are neglected. The staff members are fine. The other staff has been fairly stable, except for one buyout that occurred while we were here and we had a complete change of staff, but that was several years ago. This past winter, many of the old shrubs and so forth were frozen out, and they have not been replaced yet. Other than that, it's in good shape. We are not sorry we came here. As with anything, sometimes you're not as happy as other times. However, generally, it is excellent.

Preston Place had a lot of activities. Their calendar was always full. They have a theater, different game rooms where people play cards and bingo. The dining room had tablecloths and it was very nice. The person who gave us the tour was very thorough. She explained everything that they have and what they do and answered all our questions. She was very, very good. We saw about three or four different apartments and they were all quite large. It's like they made two apartments into one. It looked very good. They've gone in, refurbished, and remodeled all the apartments too. They also have a dog park where I saw a lot of people walking their dogs.

We toured Preston Place. The grounds are very pretty. It's very wooded, very grassy. I would probably say that if someone had any mobility issues, they might find it challenging simply because there were sticks and acorns and things like that on the sidewalk, that I would be afraid that maybe a senior with mobility could trip or slip. They had one building that acted as a community center, and that's where all happenings and everything took place. They do have a full-service cafeteria and the menu seemed outstanding. It was the higher-price of these three locations. They appeared to have more utilities included in their base price so that it was not all ala carte. But what we did find is depending on which apartment you pick, the price will go up because you want a renovated apartment. So if you wanted a renovated apartment, then the price would go up. If you wanted to eat meals, there was a price for that. If you wanted to attend activities, you had to pay a fee to attend individual activities. And so while it was a higher price than we thought it would be more all-inclusive, there were a tremendous number of add-ons that my mother would have had to pay to take advantage of the services. And I did not like that their apartment, If you wanted an apartment in the central area, it was like it felt like a bait and switch on the pricing and the fact that you had to pay extra for a renovated apartment, that was kind of only bringing it up to standard with the other places we looked at, I felt was inappropriate. They had a fireplace, which was lovely, but it was Wood who would put a wood-burning fireplace in a senior apartment. It seemed very irresponsible. So anyhow, I mean, the staff was very nice, I'd give the staff a five. They had a security director, so I would say that it was the most secure of the three locations that we visited. And again, I think the food would have been lovely, but the pricing in the ala carte component of it and everywhere we turn, there was an incremental spend, really deterred us from considering them. Oh, also because of the recent freeze in Texas, we're all very aware of what electricity grids are on, The Preston Place is not on a hospital or fire grid, because their electricity did go out when we lost power and service in February.
