There was miscommunication from the director regarding their payment terms. This frustrated me because I was paid the day of the performance for every paid gig I have ever had at other venues. Different industry, different practices. It took about 2 1/2 weeks to get paid. Today the director explained they pay 30-45 days following performances based on frequency (recurring versus first time).

I am extremely disappointed with the treatment I received from Constance at the front desk during…read moremy recent visit. While the staff member conducted their duties with a surface-level professionalism, their tone and behavior were condescending , dismissive, and bordered on openly rude. At one point in the conversation she stated "How did you even get in here?". It's important to mention there was one man sitting at the front desk when I checked in on the tablet, She of course wasn't. What concerned me most, however, were the subtle but unmistakable racial undertones in the interactions--particularly in the difference between how I was treated compared to the other guest.

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.

Moving into The Reserve is the best thing I ever did. I got…read more a one bedroom apartment with a kitchen equipped with a large refrigerator and a microwave oven. 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.

My mom moved in about 3 years ago after living on her own as a widow for ten years. She is very…read morehappy there and feels much safer than living in her own house, especially at night. They have a load of activities that she goes to and I think that's going to keep her mind sharper much longer than if she was still living alone. She goes to Mahjong, exercise classes, live music and recitals, plus a lively happy hour each Friday. Most of the folks there are so vibrant, coming from all over the US and different countries. They also have "armchair astronomy" classes and various lectures. The staff are caring, pleasant, and helpful. Dawn and Ralph, the managers, do a great job. I'm so glad we found this place. Mom was hesitant to go live there and she recently told me how much better her life is now that she's with other people.

I've been struggling for months to find the right care option for my father, who has dementia,…read moreAlzheimer's, diabetes, and kidney disease. I felt completely lost and overwhelmed. I tried A Place for Mom, but the information was outdated, pricing wasn't accurate, and I was bombarded with calls from facilities that didn't match our needs. I was connected with Oasis through a social worker, and working with Aaron has been an entirely different experience. He immediately understood my situation, my budget, and the level of care my dad needs. He selected the most appropriate options and even took me on a tour himself. Since I don't drive, he kindly drove me to each facility. Aaron is local and very familiar with the area's memory care communities. He had the most up-to-date pricing, availability, and real feedback from residents and families. On the first day, we visited three facilities -- all of them excellent, within my tight budget, and truly appropriate for my dad. I didn't need to look any further. The entire service was completely free of charge, which was such a relief during an already overwhelming time. I am incredibly grateful for Oasis and for Aaron's guidance. Thanks to their help, I finally feel like my dad will be in good hands and I can start to get my life back.

Abra the Operations Director and Viola the Resident Service Director are especially upbeat and always available to family members. Viola was called upon to pray with my mother many times at first when she was very anxious about staying there which helped calm her down. They often are also seen helping in the kitchen if they are short staffed. Amber is the activities coordinator who does a great job too and is especially good at going to each residents room to encourage them to come and participate. Having a Dr and Nurse Practitioner on site twice weekly is also a help in that I don't have to take mom to a doctor's office. A podiatrist also comes every 6 weeks to the facility to take care of common foot problems the elderly suffer with. The food and rooms are adequate but not stellar. I would recommend this place to anyone whose loved one can no longer live by themselves.

The care here is excellent and personal and catered to dementia patients. Their approach to having resident's do as many things on their own is a much better way rather that having them highly sedated ( as we saw in some other facilities). The facility is bright, welcoming and has different activities which keep the residents occupied. Some other benefits have been having a nurse/doctor who visits the facility rather than having to go outside. They are very accommodating to help work on different diet restrictions as well. Overall, can't say enough good things about all the folks here starting with Char, Jane and going through all the caregivers who help care for all the residents.
