My 95 year old father has been living at The Gardens At Brook Ridge in Pharr, Texas for over three years and my family members and I have been pleased with his care. The administrative staff, specifically [name removed] and [name removed], are very kind to my father and are always friendly and professional. The rest of the staff treat my father with respect and compassion and take the time to listen to him. I highly recommend The Gardens At Brook Ridge in Pharr, Texas.

Wonderful care givers. We have nothing but good to say about the people who work for Cardinal Court. From the receptionists to the dietary staff, from the hands on caregivers to the housekeeping and maintenance. Everyone has made this the easiest transition that I have experienced. The social staff gives them lots of choices of things to do and everyone is dedicated to lots of love for the residents. Your loved one will truly "be home" here. Cardinal Court is neat, clean and odor free. Family feels comfortable and are treated well. My requests are always met in a timely manner and I am always treated with respect. There is also a lot of support with family learning seminars and support groups.

My husband has been at Belleview Heights for over a year. This is our second facility. I find the staff to be kind, helpful and caring from the Director to the Care Givers. One problem he/I had was he did not like/eat the food at the previous facility. At Belleview Heights he often has seconds. I appreciate knowing he is not going hungry. As he has declined the staff makes sure that he comes to the dining room for his meals.

Belleview Heights: What can I say other than what a good experience I have encountered there after having to put my wife of 49 years there and into what I have found as very capable hands. Just so one knows, my findings are not for the short term. My wife has been there for approximately 18 months. Findings are consistent over this term. There are so many attributes to Belleview Heights that I have found that it would take and make for a long list. Starting with management, to nursing staff to care attendees. It has been exceptional. Of course my wife is totally unaware of situation. But, they (Belleview Height) has continued to show her the respect she deserves as an individual. Facility is maintained in the cleanest of environments. Food appears nutritional for residents and the friendliness of the staff to myself and my wife is consistent. Recommendation of Belleview Heights does and will come easily base on personal experiences.

My good friend lived there for 11 years. Friendly staff, and I loved the open layout, no long corridors where you never saw anyone. Great location and super nice management

Love living here. Good food, staff and residents. All levels of teh staff are friendly and helpful. The other residents are so sweet and make this feel like one big family. Lots to do too!

Windsor Heights has been very good for my mom. I’ve been very impressed and the place is great. This is a private pay facility and the price you pay includes everything. Their care is excellent and it’s just been a quality place. The staff seems to really care about the residents there and they take the time to watch them and make sure they’re kept safe. They’re very compassionate and overall very good. The occupational therapy and physical therapy is what I’m not happy with though. The people they have doing that are mediocre. They should be more engaged with the resident and with the family members. They don’t return phone calls and I have to track them down just to talk to them. I just don’t think they’re getting the maximum effect when working with my mom. Something that the facility lacks is an actual area for the physical therapy; there isn’t a designated area with weights and things like that so they have to bring the physical therapy into the facility instead of it already being there. The food is okay, there’s a lot of variety, and it at least seems well balanced and nutritious. Some of the residents need help with being fed and the staff really goes out of their way to help them but in a dignified way.

I am an 85 year old resident of The Continental Retirement Community. After my husband died in 2010, I lived alone for four years in my home in De Soto, Texas. Even with many friends, I found living alone was not the best situation for me. I have a son, his wife and one grandson living in South Austin, so this was the ideal place to resettle. Together we looked at several other facilities. The decision was easy, we found The Continental ideal for my needs. The thing that attracted me most was the friendliness of all the staff, the servers in the dinning room and all the residents we met. Another big attraction was having my own washer and dryer in my apartment. This has meant so much not having to go down the hall to do my laundry. I have lived here for almost three years and still love where I live. I feel as if God led me here to this great place. I am looking forward to many years at The Continental.

I can not say enough about how great this community is. The food is good and they deliver the meals to our room. The staff are excellent and accommodating. They allow pets and I would highly recommend this community.

My mom is doing great and she loves it there. This was her pick, mostly because she knew someone here and it was more fitting for her. The community is clean and smelled good. The residents are active, she exercises and walks around the building. The residents get incentives for doing little things and they can use the "money" to buy what they like at the auction.

My stay at Deer Park is going smoothly! They are sure to cater to my needs and requests. Though there have been a few changes in management, everything else seems to stay fairly consistent. The food is good, and I am pleased with the activities that they have to offer.

Made my mom feel at home as soon as we moved her in. Great food and everything is what they advertised.

I had a chance to speak with the staff at Quail Ridgeand I thought it was a great place. It was a beautiful facility but it was not priced within our budget. Also, I wanted my parents to stay close to where they were living so friends and family could continue to visit them.

My dad is fine on the retirement side of the community. He has tried some activities and has made some friends. He likes the meals they make. It is is flavorful not spicy and properly cooked, he is able to chew his food with no issues. They have a barber shop in the community and he has got his hair cut once and liked the way it looked. This was a nicer, cleaner place and he liked the apartment with the pool, spa, and extra amenities.

Moving to Creekside Pines has been a very positive experience for Mom. After living alone for 28 years (after Dad died), we were worried that Mom would have a hard time adjusting to a new environment, a new way of life. Turned out those fears were completely unfounded. Everything has worked out better than expected. The food is great and nutritious. The residents have made her feel at home, and she already has some new good friends. The wide range of activities have given her things to look forward to. The facilities are clean and inviting (my daughter, aged 31, said she would like to move in!). And the office staff is very helpful and professional. When we changed her bank account for the auto payment, instead of just assuming everything was right the staff reached out to me just to be 100% certain everything was setup properly. Instead of waiting for a possible problem, they got out ahead of it. Highly recommend Creekside Pines.

My mother is doing well here at this community. I'am pleased with all they have done for us. The staff is great, they have been helpful and friendly. There are activities offered for the residents. The meals are okay. They do a good job keeping the community neat and tidy. I know she is being cared well. This is a nice community and I would recommend.

Excellent caring staff!

We moved my mother to Quail Lodge a month ago from out of state. It has been a big adjustment for her but she seems to be settling in. She had been living on her own with a companion 3 times a week, and occasional visits from family. She was alone a lot and was without much socialization. She has some memory loss and does not drive. She needs help with meal planning, shopping and scheduling. At Quail Lodge, she maintains some independence by having a private apartment, yet she can have socialization daily in the dining room and with the activity options. She has a lovely balcony where she can have her plants, and sit outside for her morning tea or afternoon reading. We have found the staff at Quail Lodge to be friendly, responsive and helpful. Everyone from concierge to management, housekeeper, hairdresser, and dining staff have been welcoming to Mom. They truly seem to care about the residents and their well-being. I just asked Mom what she thinks about Quail Lodge and she says, "they really make me feel that I can be more independent for this next phase of my life." She feels that being at Quail Lodge will relieve some of the care responsibilities for her children.

It has been a wonderful experience living at Creekside Pines. The people are great and very friendly. The only downside I can see is that they allow pets and the pets do not always make it outside in time. The community is beautiful and well kept. The food is good and they feed you to much. I would recommend this community. Thank you to A Place for Mom for all their help.

Our contact at Summerfield was very nice and what we noted was that he called every resident by name as they passed in the halls. Everyone, residents and staff were friendly. This is an older facility but it is clean and well maintained. They have a great activity schedule both onsite and off site. It just felt like a nice place and our Mom agrees now that she calls it home.
