Stellar Senior Living

I looked at several assisted living facilities in and around the South Austin area. Orchard Park was always better than any facility I visited.

They are doing a great job. The staff is friendly, and they keep it clean. The price is a great value for memory care. They are attentive and responsive, and they have a good amount of appropriate activities. I haven't tried it but the food seems to be okay for her. We chose them over others because I liked that they were affordable and brand new.

It's a little bit older so it could be a little cleaner, the carpets are clean but could be replaced, but I wouldn't mark them down for it. There haven't been any complaints about the food. We chose it because when we visited, all the residents were down in the lobby and they said that they were happy, they volunteered that and wanted us to know. And there are always residents sitting in the lobby being social, not for any activity, but just to be social.

It's very clean and the staff is very friendly. The value is really good and one of the main drivers for what we were looking for. Unfortunately we haven't had much of a chance for activities. She can't say enough about the food, she really enjoys it. When we chose Thunderbird we liked the location and the pricing.

We visited this community and really liked it. They were doing a really great job! The staff was fantastic, and very friendly. We didn't choose it because of the location to us, and the fact that another community that I liked just as well, and was closer, offered me a special. This was a great place though.

We’ve been very happy. I can’t think of anything wrong with the cleanliness. The staff is great. The staff and the residents are about as friendly as you could ever expect. Everyone seems to be happy there. We’ve eaten there a couple times and the food is very good.

We've had a great experience with Broadway Proper! It's a very nice looking community, and the staff all seem incredibly caring and friendly! One of the biggest surprises to us was that our loved was was allowed to bring her large dog with her to the community, and for an extra fee they have been taking care of tasks she can't do any more (walking, feeding, etc.) They are a great place, and I would recommend them to anyone looking into care options!

We toured a few Senior Living facilities, first with Mom, then after she ended up in the hospital and recovering in skilled nursing, on our own. After we saw Farrington, my 29y.o. daughter said to Mom, "Grandma, I'd live there!" We selected Farrington Court in Kent. We loved the admin staff there. Two of them even came to visit Mom in the skilled nursing facility to encourage her to "come home" to Farrington! The rooms are nice, the food is excellent. All the residents we have encountered are happy and love this place. Everyone seems to really care about the residents. Mom has been there two weeks now and has required more than a little care, but they have been wonderful. AND she has gained 2 pounds! (Of the 17 she lost while ill.) We look forward to Mom getting stronger and stronger in their care. She is HAPPY there.

The price is very comparable. Every family has a different situation. They have a really great program of activities. The staff is all trained on – where every staff member – every person that is hired – is trained on what it’s like to have dementia. So when a resident says something and promptly forgets – with the training, the staff knows how to deal with that.

I really didn't want to give up my home, but being here has made it a lot easer. Every one here, including all staff, tenants make my stay here more enjoyable than I really thought possible. Activities for everyone, meals are at the top of list as if you can't find something you like that's your fault. All in all so far I am quite happy here, thanks to the friendly ness of every one here at Farrington Court.

Beautiful, well-decorated, brand new facility. The receptionist could have been more attentive to new guests, but the rest of the staff were very friendly and attentive to residents. #2 on my lust.

So far it’s been a five! It top notch- they keep it in order. The staff is very friendly. I’m completely satisfied with all the services they’ve provided. Emeritus has been great so far. We’re very happy with them.

The staff has been fantastic, they have been great. They are in the ball park with everyone else financially speaking. They are good with their response time, we are out of state, and we might have to call to get the information, but they are right on top of it when we do. They have a huge level of activities, they have a great variety and offering of things to do. They offer two dining rooms the assisted or the main independent, my loved one has the option of eating in either one. The main dining room is very nice. The food has been healthy and wholesome. I have eaten there and it's good, nothing gourmet but good, and the portions seem appropriate. They have a choice with most things there.

I like Atria. My brother wasn’t sure at the beginning because they have a policy of taking her to the hospital every time she falls. Now she’s listed with hospice, so they can just call hospice instead. I really like the care she’s getting at Atria. They seem to be really involved with all of their charges. They try to make sure everyone is engaged. She gets good meals. We were there in April, when we over there they were doing a lot of refurbishing of the property. They were eating in the hall because of that, but they were also doing art projects too. The food looks good and fresh.

I thought it was it was wonderful. The food was very good. It was very clean. The activities – it depends on what you’re looking for. They have a lot of them. They didn’t have the activities that I was looking forward to doing. We went with home care options, but this community seemed really amazing.

I want to give the cleanliness and friendliness a 6 plus! Your numbers aren’t big enough. Everything here is excellent. We haven’t tried the care services yet, but if they are like the rest of what they offer they will be very good. There is something going on all the time. You can pretty much do whatever you like. When you have to leave your home is traumatic, but coming here makes that dramatic change so much easier. It’s so well constructed, it’s quiet – It’s just like being in your own residence.

The staff was very good. It’s a very clean. We use the community as respite. I’m very satisfied with the care services. They have a community room to play cards and they take them for rides. I understand the meals are very good.

I think once your family member is there, you don’t have to worry about them. They are in a safe environment. It’s very nice. The staff takes care of the people there. I liked the food. It’s quiet and doesn’t have any problems. We didn’t have any issues with laundry or parking.

Very nice but far too pricey for us...

HAD A VERY,VERY,VERY PLESANT VISIT IN APRIL. BEING VETTED BY MY LTC. STAYED 3 DAYS.
