Residential Care Home
Dignified Living is an absolutely wonderful place, I can't say enough good things about them! It's a beautiful, clean facility, and the staff are the most caring individuals I know. The amount of personal care and genuine concern they show for my father is more than I could ask for, they really go above and beyond! I highly recommend them!
I like how it is not some big cooperate owned place, it is just [name removed] who owns it and I have his number if I ever need anything - he is always easy to get a hold of. The staff are wonderful and easy to communicate with and provide great care. I would definitely recommend 4 Seasons.
Our experience with Avendelle has been very good, we are very happy with the care our loved one has been receiving. We are also very happy with the low ratio of residents to staff members, they do not have a ton of people to look after there. The home itself is clearly well taken care of, and we are just overall very pleased.

Plano is a small city in north Texas and is considered part of the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. Plano is far enough removed enough to have its own charm and personality, but close enough to Dallas to provide convenient access to many big-city amenities. The region’s economy is centered around several large corporations – Toyota, Liberty Mutual, and JC Penney are just a few major corporations with regional offices in the city. Politics in the city are fairly moderate but lean to the right – Collin county was won by Republicans in the 2016 election by about 15%. The surrounding area however is not as reliable of a “red” district compared to other parts of the state – the Dallas region overall, including Plano, is known to be more welcoming and inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community than the more conservative towns of Texas. Along with Houston, Plano is noted as having one of the state’s largest populations of Chinese Americans, with Chinese cultural organizations, churches, and markets having a visible presence in the region.
