Appletree Court, A Vitality Living Community

Appletree's staff tenure is exceptional. The Director of the Memory Care Unit, Lakesha has been at Appletree for at least 20 years. The staff are caring, loving, patient & gentle with their residents. Chef has been there for over 17 years & food is exceptional. He listens to the residents favorite food requests. ED is very responsive to family concerns & makes excellent recommendations for resident's additional services whether provided by Appletree or provided by 3rd party service providers.

I would highly recommend Apple tree Court. The staff are longtime employees with a lot of experience. They work as a team and all of them know the residents by name and engage them in a conversation every time they see the resident. We moved my brother to get him closer to his family.

So far the experience has been good, staff was very welcoming when my mom moved in and very helpful. Did have a hiccup with the use of her oxygen tanks but have been assured the it is now resolved. Yes would recommend this community.

Our mother is well taken care of and the peace of mind that brings us is very comforting. The facility is filled with loving care takers. The size of her room, the level of care provided for administering medication, the amenities in the facility for outweighed what we found at many of the higher cost facilities.

Areas we gave 4's may not be fair, as our mom is complicit on cleanliness and she kind of doesn't always ask for help. The staff call her "mama" and are always friendly when we have been there. It is very important to have a thorough level of care assessment and Appletree was very thorough in its assessment. We can always talk to the Executive Director. [Name removed] has always been very responsive whenever we have contacted her. The food is exceptionally good. The chef has been there for 17 years. Also, many of Appletree's staff have been there for well over 10 years. The staff cleans our mom's room once a week and does her laundry every Friday. The move in was very easy. We used the company that Appletree recommended and were very happy with their service. We are very happy with our decision to move Mom into Appletree Court and would recommend Appletree to anyone.

I think it's one of the better facilities in the area. They could possibly add a staff person or two though as sometimes it does take 10-15 mins on occasion to respond to buzzer. Food is quite nice and ample. They have good onsite facilities and the people are quite caring. It's always a shock though to the senior being moved in and they perhaps could do a bit better with those expectations - both to the senior and to the family. I think this is typical with any facility though.

I moved in 3 months ago and so far have not been disappointed. I'm 103 years old, but still active. Very friendly and helpful atmosphere.

I've had excellent care during my recovery from a hard fall. Because of physical therapy, as well as a Doctor's expertise, I'm now mobile. I play the piano for church here.

The facility, though fairly large, feels small and homey. The people & residents are friendly. The residents are dressed & well put together & cared for. It fits nicely into the Richardson neighborhood as many residents lived nearby in houses or have children who do now. The rooms are a good size. They had a true 1 bedroom we were looking for. And all care is included, there is no scale for services. The price is reasonable compared to others in the area & just felt like the place for Dad. Good tenure of the staff as well. Dad says the food is good. There are activities but he hasn't tried any yet. I would recommend them to friends and family.

Has met all of my needs since I came. My health, my social habits, and my eating have all improved here.

Changing living arrangements is stressful. When it goes from living independently to an assisted living arrangement there are additional items to consider. For the new resident and their family. [name removed] and the team at Appletree Court made the transition as smooth as possible from first visit through living on property 3 months later. They have been supportive and flexible, always keeping the resident's well being in mind (physical, mental and emotional). With a variety of support levels, care can be tailored to your loved one's specific needs. People are treated as individuals here and the staff is warm and welcoming. I was impressed with how many people were out and about in the facility. Exercising, visiting with other residents or taking part in one of the activities - plenty to do. I am happy with mom's decision to make Appletree Court her new home. And am very grateful to the staff - they consistently deliver caring, compassionate service at a 5 star level!

Appointments were on time. The interview fit our request for possible admittance. Everyone we met was very nice. Residents all seemed very happy. Printed information we received was thorough and complete.

Appletree Court is amazing! My mother was very tentative to enter an Assisted Living facility, but she has just blossomed since she moved into Appletree Court! The staff has made her feel welcome and appreciated. She loves the food and has found lots of activities to join. I haven't seen her this happy in years! Her health was declining, but since she has moved into Appletree Court she is thriving and getting stronger every day. I can't say enough good things about Appletree Court. It has been wonderful experience. Five Stars!!

The people are all nice, with the exception of a couple people - which is okay. The community is very clean. They come right to your rescue if you need something. They are very attentive, willing to work, and solve problems very quickly. Everything about the community is really good. The only thing I would tell others is: don't expect it to be a nursing home, expect it to be what it is - which is assisted living only.

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. We were very pleased with this community right from the start of our tours of the different communities. The staff has been very helpful. There is a medication aide to deliver medications to my loved one, nurse to check on my loved one, aides to check on my loved one, and a doctor. They have physical therapy on site to assist the residents. The community has plenty of activities for the residents to participate in. Bingo, movies, church services and more are some of the activities offered.

Toured the community for my mom. She has been living at home and had a few falls and we decided it was time for her to make a move not only for care but also to have the socialization and make friends, which she has not had in the past year or so due to Covid. Appletree was a wonderful home like setting with a touch of the Old Richardson feel. From the first phone call , to the front desk , and the staff - they listened, greeted, and you could feel the care. The residents were dressed nice and looked well taken care of. I really enjoyed this community and meeting them and look forward to moms first day!
