Assisted Living
So many of staff here have been with the community for many years! The Chef has been there 15 years! You know the food is good if he is still there. The Med Tech has been there 9 years! The care staff, I saw some had been there over 10 years. All in all, friendly, caring and great care.
My loved one is a resident at Bethesda Gardens Frisco. The main problem, which is not awful, is he does not like the food that well. Sometimes it also takes a long time to be served. Otherwise, would have rated it a 5. This is my take not his, but I think we would be close. We think this is a good place to be. Very few establishments are perfect. but he is relatively happy here with no suggestions other than to improve the food and add a few more food service employees. A lot of the residents have commented on the food.
Avalon Memory Care exceeded any and all expectations, thanks to [name removed] and [name removed]. From the care, respect, and food the staff and all is beyond awesome. Not only is it a memory care facility but staff treats and includes you as family, with a homey environment. Best decision we made as a family to move facilities after having a horrible experience previously with [facility removed].
