The Conservatory at Plano

Terri P

It is hard to put into words what I feel about The Conservatory – Plano. I am in the business of introducing clients to senior living facilities with my company, Home Transitions. But when my mom decided to move out from San Diego to live near me in Plano, TX, I went on a 20 – facility look-see in Collin County. I whittled down the list to the top 6 and had my mom out for a week of her own review and decision. What she did not know was I had put a deposit down on an apartment at The Conservatory. It ended up, it was her decision too! Just moving from a daily view of the Pacific Ocean; country club life with 28 years of friends is transition enough! But add parting with most of your belongings and the impression that you are losing your independence, accepting the fact that you no longer can do for yourself. The Conservatory – Plano is like a summer breeze. It slowly envelops you with its beautiful surroundings but most importantly, the friendly, family support that lightly hugs and understands! You slowly loose the loss of the Pacific. You look forward to amazing meals in their dining room offering daily menus, personal service and maître/dining supervisors Pedro and John (who know your name Day 1): seat you with those they think you might enjoy meeting. It is a GREAT centerpiece to the facility and HUGE cornerstone to feeling you belong. From the start, the long-terms spoke about the friendly staff. It is why they are long-term and still enjoying the life! But two stand outs are Tobie and Kellie. Tobie was our first touch to The Conservatory! As the Admission Director, she helped us lock in a place (twice), supported little coordination issues with the move but… has the most generous and warm heart. She becomes your best friend as if you are the only one in the place! And Kellie is the ever-present Executive Director. She is relatively new herself yet knows everyone’s name, family, concerns and, I understand, has single-handedly made The Conservatory’s offer to the residents dramatically improved – noted by a full house! With a lot of words, I still have not keyed into what The Conservatory has done for my mom (and me) in her transition from the home she loved to a beautiful new lifestyle where she feels she belongs and can flourish. Thank –you.

I have been living in The Conservatory at Plano for six years. I love the place and recommend it highly. It is wonderful. The food is wonderful. I have my own apartment with a full kitchen, a bedroom, a living room, and a bathroom. It is very nice. They also have two-bedrooms with two bathrooms available, but I have the single one. They have so much activities, but I just cannot do them anymore.

We were looking for an independent living facility for my mom. We had visited over 50 plus in the area. When I walked into the Conservatory, I was greeted by staff and by happy residents. My mom has her own apartment. She has been there over six months. We have not one complaint! We do have many positive points: EVERYONE WHO WORKS THERE IS KIND and COMPASSIONATE! The food is good. The activities are fun. I have a picture my mom sent at the New Years Eve Party. They have so many events for holidays and just for fun. The residents are very active. They have movie night in their theatre. Recently used of the Super Bowl Party. My mom has been to museums, theaters, SMU, etc. My son likes the shuffle board area, and golf putting area. The pool is beautiful. The amenities are too many to mention. Having a driver to take the residents to a doctor appointment, store, library, hobby lobby, etc is an added bonus. However, the care and compassion is unsurpassed. My mom had three operations on her foot. They would bring her meals, insure she was ok. We use Advanced Senior Home Health and they go to my mom for PT. So, if you have a loved one who needs assistance they can help you with your needs. This facility is like a country club without the country club prices. It is the happy active residents and compassionate staff that make this place a home for many! FIVE STARS!

I visited The Conservatory at Plano. Everything was very nice, but my mother is not ready to move. They were very nice. We saw the rooms, and everything was nice. Residents looked happy and busy. Everybody was very nice.

The Conservatory looks very nice, and it looks like they have rooms like a theater. They have an exercise room and rooms where they play games. They have a dining room, and they have a swimming pool; it’s very nice. The staff was very nice and very attentive. We’ve gone for lunch, and one time we went for their continental breakfast; everything was very good. I like its location. They had everything I needed.

We looked at The Terrace at Priceville, and the place is very good. It's a 1400 sq. ft. of living space, and it has a garage. It’s a very nice place. It has a two bedroom with a large living room and two bath. I like this facility compared to other places that I've seen so far.

The staff was very nice at The Conservatory at Plano. They were able to answer all the questions we had. The facility had very nice interior decorations. It looked very nice. The rooms were average and of average size for that industry.

We settled on an independent living facility called The Conservatory at Plano because there was a flexibility for independent. There was a personal driver that would take him anywhere within 10 miles with a 24-hour notice. There were group trips monthly to different activities like the casinos and things like that. The living accommodations were actually great. He would be in a 2-bedroom apartment unit that was almost a thousand square feet with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a full kitchen with granite counter top and new appliances. They had a free continental breakfast every day. They had free happy hour for residents and guests from 3:30 until 5:00 I believe which is beer, wine, and snacks. They also had a restaurant style dining facility that opens at 11:00 a.m. until 6:30 p.m., and included in your monthly fees is one meal a day in that facility. You could have a continental breakfast for free and then have a late lunch or early dinner and not even ever have to cook yourself, if you didn't want to. We would be moving him there on Saturday, but up to this point, the visits that we had made and the staff had just been great.

The Conservatory is a beautiful facility. It just has a real nice touch of class that we didn't find from the others. It's very elegant, and it just kind of fit who our mom is. The apartments are gorgeous, and the people are very friendly. We really like the staff. They were very kind. Also, you're locked in your rate for three years. They have these monitors on their doors, and if they don't open it within 24 hours, they call the occupants to make sure they're OK. They're very attentive. They have some very high level attention, so we really like that a lot. I would absolutely recommend them.

Conservatory at Plano was very, very nice. The working attitude of the staff was great. The apartments were very over-the-top expensive. It was like an upper class living. They had a lot of winding staircase. They're very high-class place. The food was very good. They had a lot of activities. For somebody who could afford to live there, I would recommend this place.

The Conservatory at Plano is a first-class facility and I liked it. I have two bedrooms and a kitchen. The food and sanitation is very good. We cleaned the apartment once a week. The staff was very good, friendly, and very patient. They did a good job.

I live many miles from Plano but a friend insisted I visit this community before mom and I made a decision for a more supportive environment for her. So, I visited the Conservatory at Plano. In the end, and disappointingly so, it was simply not close enough to where I live. But it opened my eyes for "what a place like this" could be! My visit was a great experience! If it were even reasonably close to my home, this would be my hands down choice for her. The community is exceedingly beautiful, but more importantly, the people working there made me feel welcome, and filled me with confidence that mom would be well looked after-like a bunch of old friends. If you are lucky enough to live in the Plano area, before you make a decision on a senior community, make sure you visit the Conservatory!

My mom moved into The Conservatory at Plano. She moved in this July. Everything is wonderful so far. Their food is really good. What I like most is the staff and the facility. Everything about it is very nice. I especially appreciate the helpfulness of their staff.

When I visited the Conservatory, I noticed that it wasn't like most caregiving places. It was more like a luxurious apartment complex with a theater and spa. The guests were happy, the staff was friendly, and it cannot be compared to other nursing homes, where the elderly feel confined to their room rather than have someone to help them walk around. I highly recommend this to anyone who wishes the best care for their family members who have reached retirement.
