Twin Rivers Senior Living

Jorge

My friend moved to the independent living community of Twin Rivers Senior Living in Richardson. He picked it because it had more living space, which was important to him. I didn't like it because he has to pay for his own food, and they're not covering his internet and electricity costs. They're only paying for his water and trash, but that's all. The living space was, I think, about 1300 square feet, which is a lot larger than some of the other places that we looked at for him. He pays $300 a month for his food, and they deliver it to him. It's not all-inclusive, so he pays extra for that. He has an apartment that has 9-foot ceilings, a linen closet, a frost-free refrigerator with an ice maker, a garbage disposal, ceiling fans with lights, and a large walk-in closet. They have an individually controlled central HVAC system, and small techs are allowed with a deposit and a fee. I know that he has a washer and dryer connection, and they also have a washer-dryer room on-site, because he ended up saying that he didn't hook up his. His location was across the way from the laundry room, so he decided not to even hook up his own connection. I didn't interact with or meet the staff. When I went over there, my friend wasn't moving around too well. I would have wanted him to take me on a tour of the place, but I knew they had a library when we walked up there to come in. Another thing I didn't like was that they didn't have 24-hour security. They had a gate gated thing, and there were locks on the doors, so it was protected, but the other places had somebody at the lobby all night. This place kind of shut down at 5 o'clock, so the residents could go in and out on their own. They have a fob that lets them in and out, but there wasn't anybody on staff in the lobbies that I could see. There might have been a number they could call if they got locked out, but I'm not even sure about that. My friend seemed to like the place. I think they were better than average, and because of their price being low, they might have been a better choice in their area, but I saw some places in Arlington that I thought were better overall for the price of the amenities. However, it was really important to my friend to live in Richardson because that's where his doctors are. I also think it was because he was familiar with the area. He mentioned that the food was okay, but he didn't sound that enthusiastic about it. Visually, the place looked nice and very clean. It looked kind of new, even though I think it was older, so it was maintained well. My friend says that they have some stuff like movie nights. I also asked him about happy hour, and he said they have one. Besides those particular events, though, when he walks around, he said it's empty and nothing is going on. Everybody stays in their room. All the other places had stuff to do, but it's also hard for me to judge because he is also not social, so I don't know how much of that is because of the facility or just him.

Want to live at a senior independent living residence that feels like home? Look no further than Twin Rivers. I lived there for 5 years, and even though I live in Plano now, I still go back and visit, and still love the people and the staff (almost all are original to when Twin Rivers opened). They have the best parties, and a great variety of parties. The manager has great every Wednesday ‘field trips’ to eateries, theater presentations, movies, etc. etc. She is the best manager you’ll ever find, as she and the entire staff consider you like family, and thus they CARE. A final note, after I have a kidney transplant/recover in the next 2-3 years, I plan to move BACK to Twin Rivers for many more FUN, happy, healthy (long halls to walk year round) and safe (gated) years to come.

I'm living in Twin Rivers Senior Living, and it's excellent. The rooms, facility, and staff are excellent. I cook my own food, but they have an excellent dining room. I'd recommend them. You can't go wrong. Every day of the week and month there's an activity of some kind.

My Mother was moved to Twin Rivers after suffering nursing home abuse by a Doctor at another facility. I have never been so impressed with the Love, care, treatment as I have been with Twin Rivers. The Memory care portion is very small so this allows the residents to have very individualized treatment and care. The facility's is beautiful and spotless, the staff is unbelievable!!! The director Chris is very professional and caring. Kimberley runs the Memory Care area. I have never seen such Love, care and someone that gives 110% of herself to do the best that she can possibly do to take care of people and make sure that her staff is highly trained. The Nurses and Aids are just fabulous. You never want to put your family member in a home but there are times that you have no choice, you sometimes can no longer safely take care of them and provide them with the level of care required. We lost Mom on August 15th but after the nursing home abuse by the staff doctor at her prior location I thank God that he put my Mother at Twin Rivers Richardson. I can honestly say that everyone there treats the residents with the upmost respect and Love. Thank you again to the Staff at Twin Rivers, I will always Love you and forever in my Heart.

I looked at Twin Rivers Senior Living, but I crossed it off because I needed assisted living. I was impressed with the rooms; they were adequate-sized. I thought it was a nice place. It had a very attractive appearance from the outside. The person that assisted me was business-like.
