I started working in 1946 when I was 10 years old. My mother got me a part time job on Saturdays delivering groceries. I kept that job until I was 18 It ultimately resulted in a full time job leaving no time for high school activities. I had to learn the grocery business and worked at it full time along with attending school. At the age of 18 I graduated and joined the Air Force in 1954. I decided to stay in. While in the Air Force I got married, had 2 children and began college. I completed college and after 27 years retired. I used the skills I learned on active duty to start my own business and ultimately retired from that at age 88. My wife and sister passed away in 2023. My children encouraged me to move closer to where they lived. I am now here to enjoy life at a more leisurely pace. I now enjoy the fruits of my labor sharing my life with my family and all my new friends here.... Read more

Management does not encourage or enforce that each resident respect each other regardless of real or perceived limitations. Wellness is much more than merely physical health, exercise or nutrition. It is the full integration of states of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

July 15, 2019Thank you Deanna for your comments. We try to set an example for our residents with our own respect for each and every person. I am so sorry if another resident was less than welcoming. I hope that you will give us a chance to improve your impression in the future with a visit to see our changes.
I toured this community for my friends respite care. I was really impressed. We would have chose this place but they weren't able to offer support with his food and meds. The staff was very helpful with answering all our questions. But we had to choose another community.

This is a nice community for someone wanted a smaller apartment. The community is very clean and the staff is helpful. They offer meals and activities for the residents. They have some to assist in needs in the community. We needed a large apartment. We would recommend others to see this community for the options that are available

I know she is in good hands, they have a good staff at this community. She is happy, and we have no complaints about this community. Everything has worked out well for us in the community, and I would recommend it.

They do a very good job at Mountain Creek Retirement Living, I'd give them top marks across the board! I can't think of anything they could do better, they're just a good community overall. They're resident oriented, and treat everybody who lives there like family. They're also priced very well for the level of service they're able to provide!

May 9, 2020Small, locally owned, and managed. We may not have a huge corporation behind us but you know you’re in good hands when we’re your neighbor. Thanks for the kind words.
Very impressed with the facility and staff--particularly wih the director, who spent a good deal of time with us during our visit and introduced us to other residents. She really seemed to love her job and appreciate the life experiences of the residents. She really listened--in fact she personalized a gift basket for my Mom that was delivered to her door the same day. The area where the faciity is located is very nice and convenient to the Grand Prairie Senior Center
