Assisted Living Communities in Richardson, TX

"I will move into The Reserve at North Dallas. I liked it because it was very clean and nice, and there were a lot of people who worked there in the hallway. The room was very nice. We looked at the room, and a friend of mine came with me. The lady who helped us was excellent. Her name's Brittany. She answered all our questions, and she wasn't pushy. They have a refrigerator and a stove. They have a full kitchen, and they also have washers and dryers. They drove across town to come to pick me up because I was wheelchair-bound, and I didn't have a way to get over there. So, they used their vehicle and came over across town, picked me up, and took me over to the place. Then, I took a tour, and they brought me home. The food was good, but they accidentally brought me one of the wrong things."

"We loved Sunrise of Hillcrest. The manager was very nice and extremely helpful. She asked all the good questions and showed us around. We didn't go upstairs. We briefly looked around the first floor, checked out the gathering area, and the lounging area. The whole property was kept in very good condition. It is dated, but I can tell they're trying to keep everything as good as they can. We liked the location because it's close to different access, the freeways, and the malls. The parking wasn't that big. We got a cookie and it was really good, but we didn't try the food."

"Mom was at Colonial Oaks at Campbell Park for a temporary stay. She was there just for nine days. It was really nice. It was very clean and very nicely kept. It had the kitchen and all the amenities. It had a beauty shop and a movie theater. They offer a lot of different services for the seniors there. They took good care of my mother while she was there. It's assisted living, but she had her own room with nice floors, a nice bathroom, a bed, a TV, and her own refrigerator. They offer church services, and they have singing. They offer three meals a day, and family members can come, like my family members came and went to check on her while she was there. They take you back and forth to doctor's appointments. They had a little space on the outside of her room, which is secure, where you can't get out, and they can walk in the courtyard. They have access to the various areas, like the kitchen and the dining room, if you want to come out of your room and sit and play cards or meet and visit with people. The staff was very, very good. Crystal is one of the nurses there. She was really good and very attentive with my mom. They made sure my mom got everything she needed and the medicines that she had to take. They were very, very nice to her and I was very, very pleased with them. They have maintenance service, dry cleaning service, housekeeping, and laundry service. They have medication and healthcare services. They have oxygen equipment. They have security keys and fire safety. They have storm and tornado preparations. They have television, telephone, and internet services, and transportation shuttles. For what you're getting, it's comparable to what all the other facilities in that vicinity charge."

"My brother-in-law was in here for skilled nursing and he eventually got into assisted living for a short period of time. Overall, the staff was pretty good. The facility was nice. It's spotless. He had a one-bedroom apartment and it was very spacious. They got outdoor seating and that kind of thing."

"I toured Signature Pointe. They have very nice and courteous employees there. The people that live there are very nice and friendly. The whole environment looked very clean and very nice. The apartments were nice and clean. They had a lot of space. They always had something going on which was good. I enjoyed that. They have a nice lake outside. You can see the ducks and all that, so it's very, very nice."

"Brookdale Collin Oaks had everything we needed. It's a good facility, even though it's old. It is neat and clean. The staff are courteous. They have a common area and a restaurant-style kitchen. The staff member was a very nice guy. They have a grill outside and a cookout area where residents can hang around."

"My sister will be moving into Juniper Village at Preston Hollow. I liked all of them, as far as the people go. I liked this facility. It was located very, very close to the rest of my family. It was important so that my sister could feel like she was close to the family. It's the neighborhood she grew up in. I thought that it was very clean, and the actual room that she got, the little efficiency or studio, I like the way it was laid out. The staff was great. I just thought it was a good fit for her. Her studio wasn't one big room. You walked in and you kind of walked into the living room area. It had to the left a little kitchenette with a microwave and a small refrigerator, but the bedroom part was like a little alcove. So, when you first walked into the room, you couldn't see the bedroom side. Even though it was all open, it didn't feel like when you walked in and saw the bed first thing. I liked that about the room. My sister and my mother had lunch there, and they said it was very good. Every time we've been there, it's been great. They've been very helpful as far as all the administrative details. It in terms of just interacting, they've all been very nice, accessible, friendly, and helpful. It looks clean. People seemed happy there. It's kind of the right size for her."

"Manchester Care Homes has been a godsend to our family. They have a devoted staff who actively engages with the residents. My dad has been under their thoughtful and attentive care for 3 years now. My sister and I live out of state and are comforted to know that our father is in EXCELLENT hands!!"

"I toured Brookdale Lake Highlands. I like the fact that it wasn't like a big facility because I don't need to have him in a big place. The person that I met with, Hailey, took me on a tour. Everything was nice, she explained everything, and then let me know if I had any questions because this was the first time I'd ever done this. Everything seemed great. They're accommodating to everything that I was asking, just certain things to keep my dad in his same routine. She was very informative, nice, and pleasant to talk to. My dad's on a special diet, and he's on a vegan diet. I asked if they could make sure that they were able to just accommodate him. It's not anything like crazy. He just doesn't eat meat, chicken or pork. I said, 'He's happy with scrambled eggs and potatoes every day if you let him. It's pretty simple. He just doesn't eat anything outside of that' and they're like, 'Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.'"

"The Waterford is a fantastic place. My mother has been there for nearly three years and loves it. The staff is very caring and looks after the well-being of the residents. They keep me updated when I visit on how she is doing. They keep the residents active and engaged (my mother is in assisted living). The place is well-maintained and very clean. It's always a pleasure to visit and spend time there with my mom. My mother-in-law was there years ago as well. I highly recommend them."

"Silvermark Memory Care in Plano, Tx. The new owners & staff are wonderful. It was a nice place before but now the new owners are so involved & know each resident & the staff is amazing. This is the right place for your loved one. My mother has been here for 1.5 years & I am very thankful to have found this place."

"I love Brookdale Creekside, but it's strictly private pay and without the VA benefits, so we just can't do it. I like the staff, and I like the fact that the staff had been there a long time, so they didn't have a big turnover. They said I could come and get my husband to take him to dance and bring him back at 2:00 in the morning if I wanted to. They said that he told them he liked to drink wine at night before he goes to bed, and they said it's not a problem, he can have his wine there, that it's OK with them. I liked the fact that they cared enough about the patient to let them continue doing things that they love to do. I love the executive director, she was a lovely lady, and I liked what she said. I told her that if my husband could have his music there, he'd entertain everybody in the facility because he'd be dancing with them. The executive director said, "I want to dance with him." They're just nice and very personable. I thought that the rooms were great. The one thing that was interesting to me was that you furnish the room itself, it has nothing in it. So you furnish the furniture and the accessories. The rooms each had a private bath. Another thing I liked is that the facility was built around a courtyard, so they could go outside, and the courtyard was all secured, and it was a big courtyard."

"My sister and I went to Sunrise of Plano. It was beautiful. It was very nice and very spacious. They have a lot of areas, like a hair salon and a place to watch movies, so it's very nice. The people were very nice, but not a lot of them speak Spanish. The common areas were very nice, spacious, and clean."

"I am going to move to Lynridge Assisted Living next month. It was only 10 years old and it's nice. Everything was well kept up. They had an enclosed interior courtyard and it looked like a very pleasant place to live. The 1-bedroom apartment was too small, and I had to get a 2-bedroom apartment just to be able to get in there. It had a full-scale refrigerator and a sink, but you don't cook there because they provide you with 3 meals a day. They had all sorts of entertainment there. They had a very nice dining room and they served me a very good meal."
