I am constantly having to complain about the cleanliness of my mom's room, taking out her trash (incontenant supplies) no one answering her emergency pendant and medication list errors.

My father lived at Sunrise for just over a year. The administration and staff of Sunrise were…read morewonderful. Their care, and attention to their residents is amazing.

This has to be a boguss posting because I have recommended this community to dozens of people and know the Susan this person was commenting on. Susan respects ALL people and would never says the "n word" and would never refer to gay people as "you people". Never. It is a shame that a disgruntled employee or anyone else who has an issue with someone, would post an untruth about someone this way. Susan has the respect of her residents, their families, her employees, as well as, healthcare vendors in the community. There is no one that I would trust more to take care of my Dad or any other person I care about than Susan and her staff at Sunrise of Hillcrest. ~Rev. Angela Campbell

On the recommendation of a friend, our family contacted Mindy to help navigate the process of…read moremoving our parents to a senior living community. We would like to pay this strong recommendation forward. Mindy helped us in so many ways. Not only did she steer us through the process and offer her invaluable expertise and resources, but Mindy was incredibly supportive, generous with her time, patient with our seemingly endless questions, and showed a genuine kindness for which we are so grateful. This process is very involved and can be overwhelming. Working with Mindy made it so much easier. If your family is considering moving loved ones to a senior living community, we strongly recommend that your first step should be to contact Mindy and Senior Living Specialists Philly. Thank you, Mindy....You are a RockStar!!!!

I can't say enough great things about Paul and his co-worker Shelly Rudiger. Paul's name came up as…read morea tremendous resource in the 3 out of 4 UTSW online support group meetings. There is no fee for people and families to use their service. Shelly helped us to find an assisted living for my father in Tarrant County and a year later, she helped us secure an Independent living facility for my Mom in Dallas County. She saved us time because she knew which facilities fit our parameters for each parent. She set up appointments and saved us thousands of dollars by being able to negotiate a lower price than what we were quoted by the facility my Mom chose. To top it off, our phone calls, texts and emails were promptly responded to over the course of a year. Don't delay. Give Paul a call today!

Choosing memory care for someone you love is one of the hardest decisions a family can make. I know…read morethis personally because my aunt lived here in a Koelsch community, and my experience has given me a true appreciation for the care and compassion Arbor Hills can provide. From the moment you walk through the doors at Arbor Hills you feel welcomed. The front desk team is warm, professional, and incredibly personable. The community itself feels like home, from the beautiful décor and fresh-baked bread each day to the fruit-infused water and personal shadow boxes outside each resident's door. I love the thoughtful touches throughout the community, including the classic car displayed in the courtyard. This tradition was created by the owner as a tribute to his father, Emmett so they call it "Emmett's Garage". The company has remained family-owned and operated for three generations since 1958. Emmett was a Navy veteran and Alice was a nurse, and their legacy of service and caring for others continues today, including the meaningful way Veterans are honored and they keep to their standard of 24/7 on-site nurses. The staff truly take the time to know each resident, their personalities, preferences, routines, and interests, so care feels personal. With CNAs and nurses onsite 24/7, families have the added peace of mind of knowing their loved ones are supported around the clock. The engaging activities seven days a week, thoughtfully planned meals, and additional safety features such as motion sensors in resident rooms are also wonderful touches we liked. What I appreciate most is that residents are treated as family with dignity and respect. My aunt loved a warm hug and the meaningful conversations went a long way with her when they were helping care for her. My aunt really connected with the pet therapy and music in the activities room. I am sharing this because I know how overwhelming and emotional the decision to choose a memory care can be. My hope is that families going through this process know there really are wonderful places where their loved ones can feel safe, cared for, and at home. Another way we were able to truly make sure this was the best fit for her and us was that they offered Daystay and Respite options. We did daystay as a trial and my aunt came for a few activities and lunch. It was nice to have that option. For my family, Koelsch has been exactly that, a family serving our family.

We moved my parents here from Iowa two months ago after they had lived in two different facilities…read morethere, and I wish I could adequately express what a difference Arbor Hills has made for our family. My mother has end-stage dementia, and before moving here she had become very withdrawn, uncommunicative, and often combative. Since coming to Arbor Hills, we have seen such a remarkable change in her. She is more alert and engaged, she smiles again, talks with us, is eating better, and even seems to have made connections with some of the other residents. Every time we visit, she is clean, well cared for, and usually out of her room participating in activities. I truly believe the care and attention she receives at Arbor Hills have improved her quality of life. For a family trying to make the very difficult decision of where to place a loved one with advanced dementia, having confidence that they are being cared for with kindness and dignity means everything. Our family could not be happier or more grateful to the staff at Arbor Hills for the care they provide every day.

It was just about three years ago that my wife and I decided that a senior retirement complex was…read moreright for us. We visited dozens of sites on the internet, and drove to six places in the north Dallas area. The one place that jumped out to us was Parkview in Frisco. We have never been sorry that we chose this as our home. It is a an attractive facility, and the landscaping is beautiful. Parkview has several different floor plans and apartment sizes, but we chose a two bedroom, two bath apartment that meets our needs perfectly. It has a modern kitchen, large living/dining room and a comfortable balcony with a view. All utility expenses (except TV and phone) are included. Our maintenance needs are also included and fixed rapidly just by a phone call. But it is the friendly residents and serving staff that puts Parkview ahead of other retirement complexes. Smiles and hello's greet you in the hallways and warm conversations are the norm in the dining room. And by the way, the food and service iin our Embers Restaurant is first class, with a wide variety of selections and all prepared and served well. We love to take cruise vacations, and our life "aboard" Parkview is very much like that on a premium cruise ship: daily activities, entertainment, dining, etc. So if you are looking for a retirement place, you should come by Parkview in Frisco. We think you will like it . . . we certainly do. Bob M P.S. Here's a link to a website we publish highlighting life here at Parkview in Frisco: www.parkviewers.com
