This is the best facility I’ve ever visited. It’s always super clean and the staff is amazing. So many fun activities! Every time I visit I’m greeted with friendly caring people who always make my visits enjoyable. The care my loved one receives is too notch. My grandfather truly loves being a resident here. Thank you for all you do and we all appreciate your attention to our loved ones.
We went with them because the layout of building, it's one story-which we liked better, the staff we were introduced to (but I think they are a bit understaffed, honestly), the location ( easy to get to without having to sit in I35 traffic) and the facility grounds (they aren't surrounded by other buildings-they have some land, landscaping, a nice "outdoor " feel to enjoy. My father-in-law was only there a couple of weeks when he had a severe stroke and he hasn't moved back in. Follow-up with them hasn't been great. Things might be a bit crazy, as the management has changed recently, but we aren't getting the help we expected.
I would say it is a fantastic place, clean, all the resident well taken care of. I would want to live there myself.
