Recent reviews of Independent Living in South Mountain, TX
Stoney Brook of Hewitt
4.9

We were very fond of Stoney Brook right away, even though our loved one was not there for very long we were very impressed. They are a small enough community to where the residents will get more one on one care. Overall our loved one was pleased with the meals and dining, and we were pleased with the value for cost. We would definitely

The Blake at Waco
5.0

Our experience at The Blake at Waco has been absolutely fabulous. They have done a wonderful job with my mother. The thing that sticks out most to me is the staff , they are just so caring. The room sizes are wonderful, my mother is in memory care and she has a very large room and bathroom. The bathroom is in her room which is key. I would absolutely recommend them to others without a doubt.

Wildflower Place in Temple, TX
4.1

The staff are very friendly and attentive. Although it is not a "Memory Care" place per se, they handle my mother's needs with dementia pretty well most of the time. The caregivers' kindness is a real gift to my family. There have been a lot of changes at Wildflower Place in the last few months due to a change in ownership and major changes in management personnel. I hope that the transition period will end soon once new management is in place.
