Cornerstone Texarkana, TX

Cornerstone Retirement Community is the best place for seniors living in Bowie County. It's visually aesthetic and top-notch in retirement living. It's absolutely beautiful, with outstanding staff, outstanding facilities, beautiful rooms, and it's just high-end. They have a variety of activities, fitness classes, many opportunities for social exchange, and variety of classes. I didn't have a meal, but I saw people eating and I saw the service. The people looked like they were being served by staff dressed in a high-end restaurant-style. And they also have a different but beautiful dining area. The whole place is just beautiful. You can also go to an area where you can get deli-style things, there's just a variety of choices in cuisine that you can get any time. There's also an ice cream parlor, a chapel, a gym, meeting rooms, and there's almost like a little rotunda. It's a luxurious retirement community. You've got to have a lot of money to live there; the downpayment is high.

My mother has been a resident of Cornerstone Texarcana for a while. My mother goes to the cafeteria once a day at noon. They don't have three meals a day, but you can go down to the bistro and buy something for your last meal. When she first arrived there they played bingo and she enjoyed that; they also watched movies. One of the things she learned there was line dancing, and they had an exercise class that she would go to faithfully. They have a system so that they can check on the residents. They went around at night and they would flip the little tag on your door, and when they made the rounds at 10:00 in the morning to check on you they would flip the tag back. Or at least that's what they're supposed to do. Just recently, my mother panicked and was hyperventilating so she pushed her little emergency button and the staff came and got her to the hospital. The people there know my mother and are very friendly. Lately she has been having an aide come in and help her in the morning and in the evening, especially to bathe her, but this is extra. I thought that the food was very good. Some of the food is better than others, and my mother is tired of what they're serving. I think the price is very much comparable and it's comfortable there.

Cornerstone Retirement Community is a beautiful facility located in Texarkana TX. I had the pleasure of visiting a relative there once to every other week and each time I went, I noticed the good mood that she was in and the well kept appearance that she always exhibited. The staff has always been friendly and even allowed me to help her while I was there and always asked if I needed assistance with anything. Her room was always supplied with the necessary materials needed and her medications were always administered on time. She was given three full meals daily, cooked fresh from the kitchen. This facility included a game room, observation area, park, community room and each resident had their own room. Residents were free to visit other residents and also sit up front with the staff. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone looking for an assisted living/retirement community.
