6 Best Independent Living Communities in Tuscola, TX

Electric, cable, and 3 meals a day are all included in the rent. For activities, they have special days where they take you shopping and out to eat. Coming up soon, they're going to have a Senior Prom. They have musical nights where people play the guitar and things. They have yoga class, dominoes, bingo, nail polish, and a beauty/barber shop on-site. They have a Veterans' wall with pictures hung up. They also have special doctors - podiatrists, hearing doctors, dermatologists - who come by for those who don't get out. You wear a necklace where you can push a button if you need emergency assistance. If they can't come and help you, the fire department comes to help - and the fire department is just down the street. You can pay extra for covered parking and also to bring a pet. But the laundromat is free to use, with four washers and four dryers. The building is three stories with elevators. They lock it up at night, so you have to call to get in after hours. And they also have security from the university that patrols at night. You can have food taken to your room if you're sick or don't feel like going. But they have a big dining room, and anybody can come and eat with you for $7.00.

The staff is good. My loved one seems to eat the food. Some of the activites is fine but loved one does not really join. It's nice sized room with a spacious closet. We picked this community because it was all inclusive, and they have transportation that takes my loved one to their doctors apointments.

Before the pandemic, it was an overall very positive experience, however, because independent and assited living are in the same building, the independent living is also in complete lockdown. The staff are great. The food is pretty good with a good variety. I think mentally this has been really tough on my parents being in complete isolation. I would recommmend this community to other families if there wasn't a panademic.
