I liked Franklin Park TPC Parkway. I liked the cleanliness, the staff, and the aesthetics of the place. I liked the COVID restrictions that are in place, I liked the security and the person that I met with. The staff was very friendly, you just felt like you were talking to someone you knew, so it was very easy to talk to her. The property is nice, rooms, nice-sized, the dining area small, but it's a smaller property and stuff. They did have a separate area for their crafts or games and stuff like that. They did post their activities in the elevator. I think they have their activities for the day. So if you were in the elevator you could tell what the activity is at what time. They were in the process of updating the outside lounge area, which was very, very nice. I could see my mom being comfortable there.

Franklin Park TPC Parkway is extremely wonderful. My parents have been there as a resident for two weeks now. I'm just extremely pleased. They love my parents. It's extremely clean. Overall, I know we made the best choice. The staff is phenomenal. My parents have a 1-bedroom condo and it is beautiful. I personally have not seen anything because it's Covid. It's very restricted right now. They're following all guidelines from the governor about everything that they're doing. In fact, they're very strict which I wouldn't have it any other way. The grounds are beautiful. When you walk in, it looks like a hotel. It doesn't smell of something dirty. It smells extremely clean. I absolutely love the ground, it's beautiful.

My father is in the assisted living part of Franklin Park at TPC. He really enjoys the activities and has made may new friends. The staff is very caring and treats him like family!

I was at Franklin Park TPC Parkway. Overall, they did a decent job. I like their activities. We played bridge, hangman, which I enjoyed, and word games. In general, the games we played there were challenging. They had a young lady in charge of that place and she did a good job of presenting the games. It was more expensive though. They had salon service as well as laundry service. I had no problem getting around on my scooter because the hallways were wide. It was an older place but there was plenty of room to maneuver my scooter in the facility.

One of the reasons we chose this community for mom is because they are the only assisted living we found that have 24 hour nursing . This is comforting because issues don't just happen from 8-5. The community is clean with no odor and the staff is friendly and helpful. Mom seems to enjoy the variety of activities. The food is tasty with choices at each meal.

I visited Franklin Park Stone Oak. It was a nice facility with nice staff and rooms.

We moved my parents to Franklin Park Stone Oak. I think they’re doing fine now. They were in Bridge Care before. We didn’t realize until later that Bridge Care was really not enough care for my mom because she has Alzheimer’s, and we had some problems there with that. We moved mom into memory care and Larry, her husband, stayed in the assisted living and I think he’s doing fine since he doesn’t need a high level of care. My mom was in assisted living with Larry. They were both in assisted living, but the level of care was not enough for her to help her get up and down and go to the restroom and things that she needed to do for daily needs. In memory care, they help her with bathing, getting up, and going to the restroom. She wears things that help her with incontinence, so they help her with that and check on her during the night as well.

Both my parents are in Franklin Park Stone Oak. Additional nurses would be much appreciated as they are always understaffed. My parents’ room is okay. Some people who work there have attitude problems.

I like Franklin Park. It’s brand new. It’s apparently private owned and it had really nice decorated wide hallways that didn’t look like a hospital or nursing home setting at all. It also have little niches by each door where they put a picture of themselves or little flowers so they could identify it or they could feel it was special like theirs. The staff members were excellent. It was a little bit of a high end for what we’re looking at. The inside was very nice.

The staff is wonderful and very nice to my parents. They have a doctor that comes to the place and visits them. Franklin Park Stone Oak is a really outstanding place, and I really like it. The rooms are very nice. They have a separate bedroom with a door, which my mom likes. They're kept up very well. They have two dining rooms. They sit down and order; it's like restaurant eating. My dad said they have a wide variety of food, and it is very good. They have exercise classes, and they take them on outings. They're doing a wonderful job right now.

The facility itself is beautiful. There are a lot of different things going on -- music time, bingo, an outdoor patio where they can walk around, barbecues, birthday parties -- all kinds of stuff that the residents enjoy. My father has a private room, which is big enough for him. I had lunch with him there, and the food was real good. Everybody is very welcoming and friendly. The dining room is always clean, open, and well kept. I'm really happy with the whole facility. The common place is also really nice.

We chose Franklin Park Stone Oak because of the location and environment. I loved the people. We liked the warmth of the place. They were very friendly. It was great. We were very happy with them, except for the fact that they did not have a speech therapist. We had requested speech therapy, but they didn't have it a speech therapist. and they didn't get it through home health. Then, she had aspiration pneumonia and had to go to the hospital. Had they had speech therapy, I thought we would have avoided the pneumonia, and that would have been better.

We visited Franklin Park Stone Oak for my mother. It was nice, but it just didn't feel right. The lady who was supposed to take us around was busy with someone else, so the head guy of the facility took us around, and it was like a spur of the moment thing. He was very nice, but he was looking at his notes. The apartments were OK, but for my mother they were too small. Also we saw very few people. We met no one else who worked at the facility other than the director who took us around. Security though was fine. It was good. What I can suggest for this facility is for their people to be more friendly and attainable.

Franklin Park's set up and accommodations are extremely nice. It is four levels. The memory care is on the bottom level. There is dining room in each level, so there is a small intimate dining environment. The staff is very cordial and very professional. Their accommodations are very nice. In terms of space, there are different levels and we selected the level that best fits our budget and my family member's needs. They have several activities. From what I know now, I would definitely recommend this facility.

I moved my mom to Franklin Park. This place is close to where I live, which was a plus. I went and walked in on them unannounced. I was very pleased with what I saw. I liked the way the caregivers were interacting with the residents there, liked the staff that I met, and had a chance to meet with a few of the people, who seemed very happy. I feel that the residents' dignity is maintained. I can't say enough good things about it.
Her room is lovely. She has a Jack and Jill, so she shares a bathroom with another resident. I go to visit her about every other day, and her room is always clean and well maintained. My mother has Alzheimer's and is probably at the end stages of it, and I am very impressed with the friendliness. It's just very, very nice.

I moved mom to Franklin Park. The staffing appeared to be adequate and they had a lot of activities. They have arts, music, religious events and family events. Mom is participating and she’s very busy. We also join on weekends. We checked the food before and I checked it routinely after work when I visit her. She’s satisfied with the food. They have physical therapists on site and they helped mom become mobile. They have volunteers who come and file the resident’s nails, do massages and stuff. They have a lot of kids who come from different schools. The residents can keep their pets and the aides help take care of them. Mom’s very happy there.

Franklin Park Stone Oak is close to where we live and it is convenient for us to go there and visit our parents. They seem really happy there. They have memory care for my mother and they provide a lot of things, especially medication management, which is what they really need. They have a lot of activities during the day for them. They are excited about it. I definitely recommend them.
Independent Living Reviews for Franklin Park TPC Parkway

We'll be moving into Franklin Park TPC Parkway. It's a very nice and certainly a new area of San Antonio. It's just right at the edge of the hill country. If people want to get out, and if they're able to, they do a little shopping or something like that. There's plenty around there to do. They have a lot of planned trips, now that COVID is hopefully on the way out. The people I met were very nice and very accommodating. We will be in independent living. Even though they've only been opened a couple of years, and went through COVID, and probably had to lay off people, their place was clean. They had activities that we might participate in, but the dining room was still closed, and there was no sampling of food to speak of.
The apartments were very nice. We wanted a two-bedroom and it's a tad smaller than some of the others we looked at, but they were clean. We saw an apartment that was getting ready to be turned over to a new person, and they had finished cleaning it, and we could see that it was good thorough cleaning. It's very nice and clean inside, and beautifully decorated. It was decorated in mind that older people are gonna live there. The marketing director took us and showed us to different places. She was very, very nice, and has done as much as she can possibly do to help us with our move. It's just been a very nice experience, and I think a lot of it has to do with the people that work there.
There's a swimming pool, exercise classes, games, a theater that they had little performances on, they take you on trips when you can do it, and you're not restricted from doing it, and you get your transportation to grocery stores, and some shopping areas, and medical appointments. They come up with quite a few activities to do, but keeping in mind that the independent part people are coming and going. They also have cottages that aren't apartments inside a building. They have a pretty courtyard, a nice walking area, they allow your pets, and they have a dog park.

Tina is the salesperson at Franklin Park TPC Parkway. She was very thoughtful and answered our questions completely, and she got back to us. If she didn't know the answers completely, she would find out what was going on. She was very attentive to our needs, and she sent us several videos, although other places also sent us videos, so that wasn't really the main deciding point. But it was definitely very helpful when she kept up with us and continued to call us to make sure we were on track. What set them apart from other retirement centers was that they have a medical facility onsite. Tina was very interested in whether or not there could be a rehab type of situation, because in case my mother-in-law needed to get surgery, she could just rehab here. Her room's living area had a larger square footage than in other places that we had looked at. The bedroom isn't anything to write home about, but it's about 14x14, and it's decent. We knew all of this when we looked online at the sizes of the rooms; it was affordable. I'm able to see some residents, and when my mother-in-law first moved in, there were also a couple of residents down the hallway who came by to see her and asked who she was and they talked a little bit. Everybody seemed really friendly and nice. The staff is very positive. It's a pretty upbeat kind of atmosphere, not to mention it's a brand-new place with fresh paint and everything.
They have a chef there, and apparently he's some kind of item and supposed to be very good. He came around to her room when she first moved in and talked about dishes that she liked. For a litte while she was just here by herself, she couldn't go down the dining room or anything. So they brought the meals to her. She had three meals a day, and she told me that they were just delicious. This community seems to go above and beyond with the chef and everything. I met the activities director and from what I have seen I have no problems with the staff, they're really upbeat. Their facilities are excellent. In terms of activities, they've got so many. For the independent living they have lots of get-togethers and potlucks for community building. They also have bible studies on Tuesday mornings at 10:00. The activities director is just all over the place, and she's got everything going on. What's also nice is that when you walk around there are lots of rooms, and the views are beautiful here. When you walk into a conference room it's wide open and beautiful. With all the trees, this place is beautiful. She has a little balcony, so she can look out over the grounds that they keep very nice. We felt like we got a really good deal for the price.

Franklin Park TPC Parkway was like a topnotch luxury resort. The staff member during the tour was very nice and very knowledgeable. The dining area was large, very nice, and luxurious. They had a lot of activities and a lot of amenities. It was beautiful, but it was a little bit too expensive.
