Independent Living
A resident here for 10 years. I cannot imagine these past 10 years without the friends and care received here. For your sake and that of your caring family, this is where you need to be!
I think it is great. Everybody is close knit like a family. I have never been any place like this where all of the residents have joined together. Before COVID, the food was really good and it was fun. On Friday nights, we would have wine and different types of food. It was always a nice meal. I love my apartment. I have a little balcony with a courtyard view. I intend to just stay here. I never want to live anywhere else.
This is a gorgeous but mellow place with caring staff members. I had surgery and my needs were complex and the nursing team was able to make me feel safe and their expertise to hospital like procedures kept me worry free. I was discharged home with their outpatient therapy. Their therapy is top notch. The best therapy team you'll find anywhere. The therapy gym is clean. I toured upstairs too before being discharged. I toured a couple of model rooms and they are gorgeous. Some bigger than others but beautiful. Food is provided at the assisted living. It was very impressive to see that the therapy team work with the residents in the assisted living patients too. The breakdown was good and I knew when my wound doctor came and the infectious disease, they had pain management doctor coming in too. Therapy used dry needling to ease my pain. As i said my case was complex, they had a machine in therapy that helped me deal with incontinence. Thank you health care of Plano for a job well done
