August 29, 2024Hi there, Thank you so much for your kind review of the community. We try our hardest to make sure that our residents feel well loved in our communities.
My husband was living his last days though I didn’t realize it; all the staff were warm and kind, trying to help. I was comforted by being among them more so than with family. It is difficult to find the correct words.

May 14, 2024Hi Janice, We are so glad that your husband had a wonderful last few days with us. We try to help the current stage of life for our residents as comfortable as possible.
Arbor Hills is just the nicest place and we have been so pleased with our experience. They were very comprehensive on our initial interview and we were so impressed that we did not even have to think about it, we went ahead and put our deposit down the same day that we visited. It just seemed like it was the best of the best and it has turned out to be just that. The communication has been awesome. The nurse calls me regularly with any updates that are very helpful for me to know. They also have a monthly calendar with all of the activities that are provided daily. When I stop by to visit they are doing exactly what is on the calendar so they really follow their program. We have been at 3 other facilities and we are happiest here. We would highly recommend them to others looking.

I had narrowed my search to two communities without touring by checking out the websites and the reviews. I had a great feeling for Arbor Hills. The people were so very nice and truly caring. We are leaning another direction due mainly to location. That is a truly how close the two are.

Making decisions on care for your elderly love one can be difficult however working with the front office staff and especially the Director of Community Relations at Arbor Hills our family experience continues to be great! Immediately you get a sense of caring from all of your interactions with everyone. There are a lot of moving parts to the process however you are supported based on your circumstances. It feels like family. Transition is never easy, and to be honest, will not be perfect. That is where the front office do an amazing job of above and beyond. I felt a sense of connection and I think you would too. Give them a call, the campus is beautiful and the building interior feels like “home”! In a short time I can say I’m glad my love one transitioned to Arbor Hills.

December 26, 2018Thank you for choosing Arbor Hills Memory Care Community for your mother. I will pass along your loving and respectful compliments to our staff. I will ensure both the Culinary Director learns of the excellent food served to our residents and to the Director of Activities showcasing our Living Well program that is engaging and encouraging to our resident’s cognitive and physical well-being. If we can serve you in any way, we would be grateful if you would call Healther, our Executive Director.
Arbor hills has proven to be a good spot for my beloved mother-in-law. From 24 hr. nursing care, respectful front desk staff, happy caregivers, good laundry service, frequent outings, nice TV/music, landscaping, the inner patio beauty, countless thoughtful elements of appropriate decor for this generation, very attractive furniture, sweet and varied activities, good food, and a very caring staff- we give it an A+ rating. Family owned for several decades, they demonstrate a true commitment to the specific needs of our memory care population. We’ve had experience with several other facilities caring for 2 other family members and this has been the best.

My mother has been at Arbor Hills 4+ years. The staff has been very caring and loving to her and the other residence. She is very happy at Arbor Hills. She participates in all aspects of what Arbor Hills has to offer. Several of the staff have been there for quite some time. Nursing staff is very competent, compassionate, and caring. You won't find better. The staff encourages you to discuss any needs or concerns and they are addressed immediately. I can sleep at night knowing my mother is in the best place to care for her.

August 29, 2018Kim, thank you for your continual support of choosing Arbor Hills Memory Care Community as the home for your mother. We love taking care of all of our residents and will pass along your compassionate compliments to our nursing team. I am glad that your concerns are addressed and that we are providing the best care. If we can serve you in any way, we would be grateful if you would call Audra.
My husband has been a resident of Arbor Hills for several years; he is confined to a wheelchair. The decision that a family member can no longer stay safely at home is very difficult. I visit Arbor Hills everyday, usually at dinner time. The staff is attentive and compassionate, and both the Executive Director and the Nursing Director are always receptive to any concerns I may have. I am comfortable with the care my husband receives. Memory care can be really hard, and Arbor Hills does a good job.

August 29, 2018Kay, thank you for spending a moment to write a review of Arbor Hills Memory Care Community. We couldn’t agree more what a difficult decision it is in deciding and then choosing a community for a loved one. I will ensure our staff learns of your attentive and compassionate compliments. We are appreciative of your support and are thankful that we had the opportunity to take care of your husband. If we can serve you in any way, we would be grateful if you would call Audra.
My recent total positive experience with Arbor Hills(AH)/Plano ended with my mom’s passing (01/2018). She was a resident commencing in March 2017. During her time at AH she was treated with loving care, respect, dignity and always plenty of smiles. I can say the same for myself as I generally visited her three times weekly. I found AH to always be clean and bright. I liked the AH facility footprint including optional rooms i.e., places to go within the facility. Back in February 2017, I found the fixed rate quote provided to me to be competitive and acceptable. From Reception to 24/7 Nursing to Caregivers to Administration to Housekeeping to Maintenance, all those we (mom and my family) encountered were people who, outside of AH, would be wonderful neighbors. But most importantly, they were there at AH for my mom daily, providing her with a genuine human touch.

April 3, 2018We are sorry for your loss Joseph. We loved caring for your mom at Arbor Hills Memory Care Community and will pass along your compliments to our teams. Thank you for allowing our staff to provide loving support and care for you and your mom. If we can serve you in any way, we would be grateful if you would call Debbie, our Executive Director.
While looking into some options for my love one, I found that this facility was not as homey as I would have liked it. It definitely had that nursing home feel. In their rooms they had hospital beds and it wasn’t as warm or inviting. The staff team there though seemed really nice. While we were touring the place we notice them helping the residents that could get out of their bed assisting them to get dressed and to get them out of their rooms. That part I liked about the place. If someone were to have more of a physical disability I would recommend this location. They reason why I didn’t move forward with them is because it was more of a nursing home facility.

Overall we where very happy with her stay and thought they did everything they had promised us.

October 28, 2016Thank you for writing this review and highly recommending Arbor Hills Memory Care Community. As the Alzheimer’s experts, we train our staff to provide meaningful one-on-one interactions and glad that these moments have had an impact with your loved one. We will pass along your comments to the Director of Activities that her events are well received. You may always contact our Executive Director and speak with her directly if you have any further questions or concerns.
My mom has lived at Arbor Hills for 2 years now. Her medical care there has always been top notch, provided by some really special nurses. Caring for Alzheimer's patients takes a unique combination of angel and superhero. There were some staffing transfers followed by some staff turnover. It got a bit wobbly for awhile, but that seems to have resolved. I like the direction things are going now! I see a lot more smiles, a lot of positive interaction between staff and patients, more friendship between patients, and overall I see a refreshed and warmer environment. As always, the nurses, care team, and the wonderful front desk ladies keep me updated on mom's status. I met this week with the new managing director and the new director of nursing for a care plan review. I was impressed. Alzheimer's is relentless, and mom had an unpreventable fall, resulting in an ER visit for a bad skin tear on her arm. The Arbor Hills team were fantastic, their quick response to the fall and their follow-up care made a real difference for a fast recovery. We reassessed mom's situation in the meeting and I was given good ideas for changes to help mom cope. (Mom is feisty) It was a tough day when we realized we could no longer take care of mom without a lot of help. I know she is being looked after by people who care.

October 14, 2016Sharon, thank you for writing this very thoughtful review for Arbor Hills Memory Care Community. We love how you address nurses caring for Alzheimer’s patients as a mix of angel and superhero. It is nice to read that interactions between our staff and residents are positive and that friendships are developing. We take great pride in our team and the exceptional care that they provide for your mom and all of our residents. We will be sure to pass along your comments to all of our teams. We hope your mom recovers very quickly. If you have any additional questions, please contact our Executive Director.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable. All of my questions and concerns were answered. The community was clean and organized. Some activities they offered were art classes, cooking classes, and brain fitness. They have different available meal plans to best fit the needs of the residents. I would recommend a tour of the community to friends and family.
