The very best in Tyler.

It's a very clean place. The staff is very caring and friendly, and very attuned to each individual's needs. They do work with you in terms of trying to solve issues, and they provide help with getting extra services, such as PT/OT/doctor visits. They don't really have activities, and they don't have an activity director. So if you want a place with lots of activities, you'd have to go someplace else. They have mostly puzzles, and there's a nice outside area where you can go listen to a babbling brook. But the residents are mostly on their own to occupy themselves. The CNAs have expressed that they really want to be doing activities with the residents. It's just a matter of getting a program in place. My loved one likes the food, but I didn't really care for it. It tends to be lukewarm, and they've served some vegetables that aren't to my taste, like cooked spinach and cooked yams. They're getting better with the cooking though, and the food is It is getting better. It's definitely an evolving community. It's a pretty new establishment, and because of that, they're still figuring some things out. The manager, the RN's, and the CNAs are all exceptional. They do have a lot of turnover with the other staff, but I think that's just the way things are right now during Covid times. But my loved one loves it here, and the other residents I've talked to are glad they're here as well. I've been very pleased.

They have activities but he doesn't participate because he's antisocial. Before his wife died they had actually lived there before so he wanted to come back. They're smaller than most places so they can pay more attention to things, they're also a local company so there was the local touch instead of the corporate attitude.
