I am writing this review at the request of my mother, Joan, who has lived at CC Young for many…read moreyears. She LOVES it there and tells me so every day. Although she is VERY happy with all aspects of where she lives (residence, food, activities, maintenance, technology help, classes, field trips) she wanted me to put up a review about a few special people who not only do their job with skill, but also caring and grace. A big high five to Daniela Mora in Conley restaurant. She knows everyone by name and greets all with a big smile - she seems to keep the restaurant running like a top (as least as far as residents can see!) and the food is always served hot and well-presented. Mom thinks she is the best she's the best Conley has every had! Dani is kind and patient and helps everyone! Second is Brandon in IT (I don't know his last name - sorry). Talk about a problem solver! No question is too hard or too simple. Brandon stays with a problem until he figures it out for you. Last is Kevin Nelson - the porter at the Point. Kevin magically makes every event, class, discussion group seem to be set up and taken down with just the right room arrangement in incredibly timely manner. It's amazing how many different "take downs and put ups" he does in one day. He is friendly and always speaks to everyone. He keeps everything clean and fresh - including the gym and class rooms. Mom thinks he's a gem. These are just a few of the amazing people who make CC Young work so well - In my mom's eyes, it's a great place to live and from the outside - I definitely agree!

The current owners are responsive and many of the staff have been there for years and remember when Mom first moved there. She started there with a period on the skilled nursing floor, went back home for less than a year and then moved permanently into assisted living. Management and staff have developed a culture of working together to provide a safe and nurturing environment. Glenn in facilities has always responded quickly whenever the inevitable issues arise.

I first reviewed this assisted living and memory care facility almost 4 years ago when it initially…read moreopened under the name of Harbor Chase of the Park Cities. Since that time the facility changed management & became The Preston of the Park Cities. My mother has been a resident since the place first opened as Harbor Chase. The place is gorgeous and they are far more creative with their food and menus than any other place we initially looked at. Although there has been turnover in staff over the years, the best key players on staff stayed & have become real assets to the place. When Covid hit we were tremendously concerned about how this would be dealt with and how the residents would be protected. Watermark, who is the management company have done a phenomenal job handling the pandemic and keeping residents safe and their families well informed. The staff & residents were fully vaccinated by late January. Finding a great place for a parent, spouse or relative who needs assistance can be a very trying time in everyone's life. You'd be hard pressed to find a better place for them than The Preston of the Park Cities.

This is a review of an "assisted living / retirement home"…read more The "Tradition - Lovers Lane Assisted Living" is a great place to check out if you're looking for assisted living. One of my overall highlights is on the top floor, the fourth floor is where they are dedicated to work with folks that have difficulty in memory, like alzheimer's or dementia. It's sad issue to deal with, but hopefully with a little hope and love, the right place can at least help. Now a person can live on the bottom three floors and go up to the fourth floor for sessions or to join in on with the groups. Great transition management systems are in place here at the Tradition. Heck, if and when I do have problems in this area, the Tradition is a great place to check out! "Tradition" also has another section for non-assisted living, both which are very nice! So they cater to both folks that need help and do not assistance. They are right next door to each other and in a great location of Dallas. Being right next door to Central Market and close by to highway 75 makes it easy to get to other parts of Dallas at certain times of the day. Dallas traffic can be an odd, you just have to know when and how to drive in the traffic. Back to the "Tradition assisted living", It's new, well located and I love the floor plan. It is easy for folks to make it back to their room. The building design is nice, in that a person is not going to get lost that easy at all. From the rooms, hall ways, exercise rooms, and special rooms are really good looking. The rooms have a high tech / heat monitor system and learns a heat monitor body system. Let's say your grandmother gets up at 4 in the morning to go to the restroom, it can detect if shoe has fallen and can not get up and alerts the staff on duty. We past by where they served meals and you could smell in the air that the food was very tasty! There are several elevators in the building, and it seems very easy for a person to make it to and from location to location. They have a water suspension work out are that looks very cool. They also have a number of highlights as well, like their hair/mani/pedi office, snack area, libraries, worship area. We received such kind introductions to the staff. The fourth floor, at least I thought I would be scared about, but it was so damn cool, a number of rooms that are to help enhance the creative side of the mind. A fun back porch with a fun view, hell, if I go, send me here! The "Tradition ~ Assisted Living" is a place I would totally feel comfortable with and recommend! If you are reading this review, do go by and check it out, and know it may be tough, but finding the right place will ease you heart and mind beyond belief. I only wish you and yours the best in life, Bill

All country club decor (one the first floor) but horrible care and no soul. We have been there…read moresince February now moving to a better facility. All about sales and profit. A revolving door in terms of staffing....no continuity of care. No medical care to speak of....one doctor was under indictment and the other was apparently let go also. A Tradition employee stole my dad's car but luckily we recovered it after he had his way with it. No good programs and mediocre food. Could have been a dream...turned into a nightmare. If you need only minimal care and want to squander money, this is great for you. If you have more significant needs, go to a place with a better track record. Run, don't walk away from The Tradition.

After visiting several senior living communities, I chose Monticello West for my mom because they…read moreoffered an "enhanced assisted living" option, which was supposed to accommodate residents needing two-person transfers. I was also impressed early on, especially with Nan who was responsive and helpful in answering all my questions. Things started off okay, but one issue showed up pretty quickly. My mom uses a wheelchair and needed help getting to and from the dining room. Staff would take her down for meals, and when she was ready to return to her room, she'd press the button on her fob for assistance. On multiple occasions, she was left waiting alone in the dining room for over an hour. This was frustrating and embarrassing for her. There was also a staff member who pushed my mom to do more than she was physically capable of. Something happened (I was never told exactly what), but I was informed that the person was written up and instructed not to go back to my mom's room. Additionally, Nan stopped replying to my emails, and messages to other staff were often ignored too. We had an initial meeting where I was told I'd be introduced to all the department heads. Only a couple of people showed up; apparently my mom wasn't considered important enough for the full team. The director, Tom, was not present and I had no contact with him until I gave notice to move my mom elsewhere. To her credit, Sandra, who managed my mom's floor, was always responsive to my emails and phone calls. However, about a year into my mom's stay, she called to tell me they could no longer meet my mom's needs. She said that my mom now needed more than two people to assist with transfers. I asked how much time I had to find a new facility, and she said, "About two weeks." That's not what the contract says, but at that point, I didn't want my mom to stay somewhere that couldn't or wouldn't care for her properly. My mom later told me they'd recently hired a bunch of new staff who weren't well trained, so sometimes it would take 3 or 4 of them to transfer her. They would also gather in her room to chat with each other. Ironically, just a few days after Sandra's call, I saw one of the experienced caregivers transfer my mom by herself, quickly and with care. When I asked her how she did it, she smiled and said, "Patience." I found another facility and scheduled my mom's move for a Sunday. Since her birthday was the day before, I asked about reserving a room for a small celebration. I was told that due to Covid concerns, no rooms were available. That was fine; I told my mom's friends we'd meet outside on the patio to play it safe. Several of her guests, most of whom were senior citizens, told me that Laura (the activities director) raised her voice at them and told them they weren't allowed to be there. She also raised her voice at me. I explained we were outside and following all the rules, but it didn't seem to matter. The whole thing left a really bad taste. After we moved my mom out and cleared her room, I asked when I'd receive the refund for the unused portion of the month's rent. I mentioned that I had accidentally taken her fob and would return it as soon as I could. Tom implied I wouldn't be refunded for the days I had the fob, which seemed petty, but the facility eventually processed the full refund. Still, it wasn't the kind of support I needed during such a stressful transition. To be fair, some staff were wonderful. Kam, TT, Cynthia, and Willis were kind, respectful, and truly cared about my mom. The maintenance guys and housekeeping team were always polite and helpful. Thankfully, my mom is now in a facility that truly values her. They care for her with patience and compassion. When friends visit, they're welcomed, not scolded. Phone calls and emails are returned. When my mom needs help, she gets it within minutes, versus hours. She's happy now, and that makes me happy too. (It should be noted that I took a tour of Monticello West's sister facility, Autumn Leaves, as recommended by Sandra. It reeked of urine and was one of the most depressing places I have ever visited.) Looking back, I wish I'd installed a camera in her room at Monticello West from day one. If you have a loved one there, I strongly recommend you do.

I encourage you to visit, and see for yourself how nice it is and ask if you qualify. There are no high-pressure sales, just a polite personalities that really wants to help you find a solution. What is Simpson Place? It is an assisted living and skilled nursing community that offers care and support for low- and moderate-income senior adults. I assure you that this location looks & feels like an upscale hotel. You are greeted by friendly faces when you step in the door. The lobby is spacious and full of energy. The dining area is open, beautifully decorated, and clean. Even though I did not get to see the food, the menu offered healthy and alternative options. The community space had comfortable seating, by a bookcase and fireplace, very nice! The activities room was large and obviously used often. A resident said hello and expressed how much she enjoys living there (that was a huge plus!). As a resident, you get a 1 bedroom studio apartment. It's comforting to know that if skilled nursing is needed at some point, that service is available in the same building. I visited the rehab area and could see that the equipment was new, clean, the overall setup was impressive. What you really want to know is ... how much does it cost? Maybe nothing! Let Cory work with you and discover what you qualify for. In my case, I was thrilled to learn they accept Molina and Superior Star Plus waiver (Medicaid programs). You can certainly do private pay which is 3,000 a month. Either way, this includes the utilities, cable, wifi, housekeeping, daily activities, three meals a day plus 24\7 security. The staff taking care of your loved ones are all licensed CNA'S, CMA'S and LVN'S, who also manage the medications. In addition, there is a doctor who visits the communities.

I'm familiar with many senior communities throughout the Dallas (and surrounding cities) area. One of my clients was needing a respite stay while her house was being repaired. Debra at Five Star Premier was outstanding. She went above and beyond to make my clients stay exactly what she needed. The best part about it, in my opinion, was Debra's genuine and utmost concern for my client during her stay. She truly cared about her comfort and addressed any concerns promptly. Five Star Premier is a beautiful and pristine community where all the employees and residents seem very happy to be there. The food was so delicious! Usually, in a large community the food tends to all taste the same. My client ate Atlantic salmon or some type of fish each day. She raved about how fresh and perfectly cooked the fish was each day.
