Plenty of cabinet space and drawers. The kitchen also has a large double stainless steel sink and faucet. The wall across from the kitchen has a large closet for storage and also a full size GE washing machine and dryer. The living room has plenty of room for a large recliner, a grandfather clock, a 65 inch Samsung TV and a large double door cabinet where I have my 27 inch iMac computer. Between the recliner and outside wall I also have a 36"x36" pedestal table, where I have a large hammered copper lamp with shade. The two walls forming the corner behind the recliner and grandfather clock, have two large glass windows covered by Venetian blinds. Moving through the lockable door into the bedroom there is room enough for a queen sized bed, and a three drawer cabinet with lamp. The outside wall has a large window covered with Venetian blinds. Sliding double doors lead into a closet with plenty of room for hanging shirts, and with shelves that hold baskets for socks, and underwear. Under the shelf on the right there is room for a large four drawer cabinet where I can store pajamas and a large collection of various shoes. A single sliding door leads into a spacious bathroom, complete with a shower, toilet, and lavatory. There are two spacious cabinets and drawers next to the shower. Another reason I picked this third floor apartment is that it is located next to the fire escape stairs. I never use the elevators because I like the exercise I get walking up and down the stairs. My apartment is also located at the very end of this wing of The Reserve apartment complex. Consequently I don't hear or see any of my neighbors. Thanks for your time and attention.

It's a difficult decision for any family, because this is a stage of life when our loved ones are more vulnerable than we've ever known them to be, and yet at such a moment, we have to trust them with strangers to get them the level of professional care they need. I couldn't have been happier with the care at Arden Courts. From the activities, to the food, to the full time nurse on staff, to the overall love and affection she received, Arden Courts was exactly what we hoped it would be. At one point I said to one of my brothers after observing a particularly poignant moment of their work, "The staff here are like saints." He reminded me of this when I told him I was going to write a review. Mom just passed away a few days after Christmas, and in her honor, I wanted to let potential future resident families know what a great experience we had with Arden Courts.

Do not come here! The executive director is childish and rude. The facility is dirty and smells…read more In the short time we had our dad here, we often found him soaked in pee, saw staff throwing used wipes (if they remembered to use them), briefs, and chucks onto the floor, and found dried poop in his perineal hair. They are under-staffed and lack proper training for Memory Care. The only way to know these things is by putting a camera in your loved one's room.

First of all I'd like to say that the Clairmont is doing a pretty good job but could do better. I…read morehave had trouble with the billing department getting back to me. There was a problem with the facility apartment insurance request. I paid and submitted the forms about a month prior to move-in and the first bill over 6 weeks later included a fee for not having insurance. I tried contacting the billing office and requested a call back to get things clarified. This did not happen and the problem was not fixed. I again went to Francine who has been my anchor at the Clairmont to get problems fixed. I finally received approval of the policy on October 17th but I had submitted the information in early August! In addition the bill itself was incorrect. The dinning room food has improved, per my father, but the utensils are still awful! I do wish your administrative staff would try using the forks at the facility and imagine that they have arthritis in their hands as these residents frequently do. My dad does better with most plastic forks than the forks supplied at the Clairmont. Please, this should be an easy upgrade. One thing we really appreciate is the ability to have a pet and to have a fenced "yard" area outside of their apartment. I think this adds a homey feel for many of the residents. Better water access would be a plus for those with outside plants. You have outside waste bins for doggy waste but no plastic bags at the one outside of the building for the last 6 weeks. Your showers do not have safety bars inside of the shower, Since most of the residents at this facility use walkers, canes or wheelchairs, why do you think it unnecessary to have a safety bar inside of the shower? This would be a considerate and wise upgrade for the apartments. Overall, we (the family) really like this facility and the people who live and work there. My Dad is still adjusting......

My mom was struggling physically/mentally and would just moan. One caregiver told her to be quiet multiple times. Another one refused to help because she had asked for too much help. One was busy on her phone and didn't bother to put my mom to bed so my mom fell asleep on her recliner. I tried to talk to the person assigned to me for staffing and she didn't answer texts/calls. I cancelled with her because the people that they were sending were so bad, that it was better to have no one. I got no answer till after the weekend and I was told that I needed to give more notice. I explained that I tried to give notice, but that person wasn't answering their phone. They sent one last person out that they claimed was their best and no one had every complained. After that person got my mom to sleep, she turned tv to the station she wanted (in room next to my mom) and then started calling friends on the phone and talking loudly over the tv. Find your own caregivers. Staffing agencies send people that couldn't get jobs on their own.

My family did an extensive search in Central Austin, and even tried out the very large competitor that is in close vicinity for a few months - we are so glad we made the switch. Here are some of the reasons. -The staff is very friendly and quickly knew us all by name. They all care about the residents and family. -The executive director is very personable and approachable. -The facility is very nice and easy to get around, with a park near by and the shops at the Triangle. There are no "bad apartments" that I can see. -Contracts and policies are reasonable and senior friendly. Believe me, you should check this all carefully to avoid any nasty surprises. From past experience, what they tell you in sales is not necessarily to be believed. I am very glad we made the choice to move to these guys.

My father arrived at Aria Memory Care in April 2015. He has been struggling with Parkinson's and…read morewas in the beginning stages of Alzheimer and Dementia. He was also recovering from a broken hip and was using a walker. Aria had the safest facilities for my father to move around. The common areas have wood floors and less clutter than other communities. I felt my father was safe. My father enjoyed being able to enjoy the out side on his own with access to their courtyard. Not all communities are set up where your loved ones can enjoy outdoors when they want to. The Facility Manager was very helpful in helping set up my fathers room as well as hanging pictures. Since my father was an engineer, the Facilities Manager took the time to have many great conversations with my father. It is great that Aria is dedicated to Memory Care. They know how to take care of all levels. The separation of cognitive and non cognitive guests is priceless. My father was able to have conversations with other guests with similar challenges. Having a loved one in a home is all ways difficult but when you arrive at Aria you really do not feel you are in a nursing home. It helped me when I was visiting my father. Last but not least the Executive Director Ceri Mackenzie is there for you and your loved ones 24 hours. I have seen this first hand. She was there for helping me manage my fathers needs. Her experience and knowledge comes in handy as anything can happen any time when you are taking care of our elders. The team reacts positively to Ceri's experience and enthusiasm. To sum it up, Aria is a gem in senior community. It offers clean, safe, easy to navigate common area floor plan, spacious individual units and a lovely courtyard to enhance for my father's daily experience. Mostly importantly, the team members are friendly, caring and do not hesitate to come to aide whenever the unexpected need rises. My father actually thrived and showed improvement in matter of weeks under their care. . I have had other family members in Brookdale, Sunrise and, and Emeritus. Aria Memory Care is superior above all other communities. I would recommend Aria to any of my close friends and family.

Our Mom was my Dad's primary caregiver prior to her unexpected death so this transition has been very difficult. I chose Aria because the staff were all very caring friendly, the facility is very clean and modern, and the apartment/room was a nice size and well laid out to match, as closely as possible, my Dad's bedroom at home. My Dad has only been there 2 months but I still feel very confident I have made the right decision with Aria. Ceri Mackenzie is the medical director and she is very patient with the family and also with our Dad. She is knowledgeable and shares that knowledge to make us more comfortable with the transition. The nursing staff and aides have all been very friendly to Dad - especially Kristin, Melissa, Brandon and Jeannette - but they have all been wonderful.

Im not sure how to feel about the staff. 50/50 I guess that they should have even been working in a memory care. When people are dealing with elderly people with possible injuries there should be training on how you treat them and care for them. People care is an important job, Elderly care is an important job. Be careful who you choose to do that. It's hard to get straight answers from the nurse. And don't ask questions cause they don't take too kindly to that. I requested to put a camera in my Moms room, they didn't like that.. at all. My Mom was sick the week after she got there, but no one noticed she wasn't feeling well. I had been telling them all week. She was lethargic and wanted to sleep And had a horrible cough. She wasn't eating. I said to let her sleep on one evening and noooooo, an aide physically took her out of bed and put her in a wheelchair to take her to eat in the diningroom. That Sunday I told them I was taking her to the ER. They didn't want me to and said they could get her chest xray and blood there, didn't know when or how long to get results. Felt they needed to call my Brother to tell him I signed her out. My 86 yr old Mom with Dementia was admitted to the hospital where she spent 5 days. Influenza A and a UTI - No she didn't go back.

We…read morestarted with assisted living, then moved to memory care, but after ownership changes, the quality never felt the same. That's when I discovered Tran's Senior Oasis--and everything changed. From the moment we arrived, I knew TSO was different. Dr. Tran and her staff aren't just caregivers; they are family. They treat every resident with love, respect, and dignity. Many of the staff have been with TSO for over 10 years, which says everything about the culture of consistency and compassion. Dr. Tran is a very involved owner--she doesn't just manage from a distance, she knows every resident, every family, and is always attentive to their needs. That level of dedication gave me something priceless: peace of mind. As my mother's journey came to its final stages, the partnership with Altus Hospice made all the difference. Dr. Tran and the hospice team worked seamlessly together, surrounding my mother--and our entire family--with kindness, compassion, and comfort. They supported us through each step, ensuring my mother's last days were filled with dignity and peace. My mother spent her later years at TSO surrounded by kindness, stability, and genuine care. For any family searching for a place where their loved one will not only be cared for, but truly cherished, I cannot recommend Tran's Senior Oasis enough.
