Assisted Living
This is a gorgeous but mellow place with caring staff members. I had surgery and my needs were complex and the nursing team was able to make me feel safe and their expertise to hospital like procedures kept me worry free. I was discharged home with their outpatient therapy. Their therapy is top notch. The best therapy team you'll find anywhere. The therapy gym is clean. I toured upstairs too before being discharged. I toured a couple of model rooms and they are gorgeous. Some bigger than others but beautiful. Food is provided at the assisted living. It was very impressive to see that the therapy team work with the residents in the assisted living patients too. The breakdown was good and I knew when my wound doctor came and the infectious disease, they had pain management doctor coming in too. Therapy used dry needling to ease my pain. As i said my case was complex, they had a machine in therapy that helped me deal with incontinence. Thank you health care of Plano for a job well done
They made cook to order meals for my mom. I have experienced other memory care facilities and most have staff that turnover quite often. It is great to see that the staff is so consistent and they truly love the residents they care for.
We can't say enough good things about New Haven! [name removed] runs an excellent facility. The staff is super friendly, [name removed] and [name removed] are amazing cooks and go out of their way to prepare meals that everyone wants, it's very clean, and just an overall "family" atmosphere.
