Excellent Senior Residence
I'd rate the overall experience as a 5. Staff and management work hard to maintain the facilities in excellent repair, and the amenities--including an on-campus restaurant--are terrific.

I truly enjoy living at The Oaks at Plano. We are offered many Senior Living lifestyle programs while living here. There are lots of friendly people and fun daily activities. I enjoy the exercise choices and the Mystery Book Club. We have weekly entertainment and Happy Hours. Also, bus transportation to doctor appointments and local shopping is available. I encourage fellow seniors to come visit.

I would give it a 4 right now. It is under new management and is being upgraded all over. The landscape is gorgeous and so many things are being done with improvements. It has full days of things to do. Someone told me this place has the most activities of any they looked at . Now the reason I didn't give it a 5 - the Community Fee costs the same as one month's rent; whereas, every other place we looked at the Community Fee was $[removed]. I've been here a month and a half and we still don't have a rod for one bathroom's toilet paper to hang on. We did get a newrod but it was too short and ow they have ordered a whole units f said we would have it in 2 days and that was almost / weeks ago. I know that seems small but we are very happy here. Everyone we have met is super nice. Our apartment had been completely redone - new paint, new tile floors, new bedrooms carpeting, new refrigerator, new dishwasher, new stove, new granite countertops in kitchen and both bathrooms. Another nice thing- you get a $[removed] referral fee if someone you refer moves in.

I never thought that my retirement would have turned out this way. The years living here at Preston Place has been remarkable with forward thinking staff and neighbors who care to make this a fun and safe place to be. Preston Place is one of a kind. No regrets!!

I am going on my 5th year here at Preston Place and I must say that because of [name removed], the improvements to this place have been taking place! I have seen more improvements in 3 months than I have seen in 5 years. Thank you [name removed] for making this place seem like home!

Easy to make friends and feel like home. Staff is just great and always concerned that they are doing their best for every resident. I always feel very secure that they are looking out after my security.

I moved here in December and was impressed with the assistance of the staff and residents in getting familiar with all that is offered. The many activates, groups and classes offer something for everyone. It would be really sad to move here and not attend some of the many functions offered. I was really impressed with the cleanliness of such a large community both interior and exterior. The grass is always cut and cleaned up weekly, no more fighting to put large garbage cans by the curb as garbage picked up from outside your door. When you open your door, it is to the outside, no long halls with doors on both sides. Each unit has a patio that can be decorated by the occupant to celebrate the season or current holiday. The most impressive was the care of residents during the snow this winter, sidewalks were salted daily, residents encouraged to remain indoors for safety, hot meals ordered from Oak Room were delivered to residents' door. Maintenance and staff on premises daily.

Excellent staff - which breeds high overhead which, of course, is passed to renters. Thus 81% occupancy. I will be moving to an "age in place" apartment. I'm soon to be priced out of the "retirement community" market. I' pay $[fee removed] monthly which includes no meals other than complimentary very limited breakfast.

I moved here about 5 months ago after selling my home of 30 years. I could not be happier. This is a true community neighborly, friendly and supportive without being intrusive.

Preston Place is a very friendly community. It's building are older and have their aged problems. Our Exec Dir is new to our community and is definitely making a difference. She see's things with fresh eye and new ideas. She's a very caring person and we are so very happy she's here. I believed given time and resource she will make our Preston Place a home we can be proud of.

A house is too much for one person to maintain, especially as we age. Now come the decisions. After living in Plano for 32 years, I did not want to leave my friends and more importantly my doctors. i enjoyed a lot of lunches at different possibilities, but none really jumped out and said "This is it!" Then I remembered a place I had toured with my mother, PRESTON PLACE. It was not a fit for her as she needed assisted living, It's perfect for me. I can make my own meals or eat at the Veranda, i can meet my lpng time friends or enjoy my new neighbors, I can enjoy the people in my new book club or stay at home reading my Kindle. The grounds are lovely to walk through and the Garden Club keeps the flower pots full. No doubt, I made the right choice for me.

I have only been here about two weeks, and I can truly say , ' this place has certainly earned the name "The Best". Here everyone is like family. You do not meet any strangers here . You are greeted with a smile and a heartfelt welcome by everyone you come in contact with. My very first day here I received a knock by many of the residing residents. I opened the door to the words, "hello and welcome" followed by a hand shake or hug and I am (name was given). Those greetings made me feel at home. I have been in the state of Texas for five years now and I met more people here at Preston Place in one day than I met at my previous residence where I lived for five years. This a place where everyone is a part of the family. We are one huge family.. I am so happy to be a part of this Preston Place Community.

Both residents and staff are unbelievably nice and friendly. It is a safe place to enjoy your life among people who go out of their way to make you feel a part of the family. The staff do not just sit behind a desk but are out among the residents getting truly involved in the many activities here.

It’s a good place for seniors, activities & games. Newly widowed, newly divorced, need friends….. good food! But it also gives back to residence what they promised in reference to helping us. For an example, I was at the pool one morning for exercise and Decided to go to the car wash we have here on property.(Which is another benefit of a place you can wash your car and vacuum it free!) Then I reached in my backseat of my car and got a towel. Sure enough I locked my car accidentally . so going over to the office they were kind enough to take me to an office. Help me look for the phone number for Volvo and take me back to my apartment where I can get dressed out of my swimsuit. Bring me back to the office. Wait for the phone call from the guy to unlock my car and help me get over there to it, all part of the service of the staff here! Some of us can give you more experiences. But then there are other reasons… Of course friendly residents……and Staff like [name removed] & [name removed]

Preston Place has individual apartments, does not have the hotel feeling like others. I feel very secure walking the grounds which are well kept. The entertainment and social activities are very robust and diverse.
