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.

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.

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.

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.

I cannot praise Elmcroft Assisted Living on Menchaca enough…read more Grandpa lived in the Assisted Living side till he passed away. Grandma lives in the memory care unit. They are HEROS! I would go so far as to say they have treated our family like family. Cora in admissions worked with us to explain the finances and answer all questions. She's stepped back in when finances became tighter. Amber, the Executive Director has always shown us kindness and compassion and gone to bat for our family. The maintenance staff got Grandpa's TV working a few times so he could continue to watch his baseball. They then moved Grandpa's hospital bed over to Grandma's room and set it up for us when he passed. Sandra, the director of the Memory Care Unit is such a loving leader to the residents and her staff. The Christmas party for residents, staff and family was so generous and fun. It's so hard to not be able to see Grandma in person because of COVID-19 and it makes it even more important to know that the staff in the memory care unit treats Grandma as if she were their own Grandma. I thank the Lord that we found them.

The food and service goes beyond what I expected. All staff are so kind and knowledgeable at Grand Living, and that could not be better for a new place now less than six-months being open. It's good to be here! And, I wish to live at GL for many more good months and years to come. From: Maggie "Bird" at Grand Living

I visited Grand Living at the Grove in early February to schedule a tour for a potential new…read moreresident. The Sales staff and Executive Director were very helpful. The Grove is different than other luxury communities in that if a person moves into Independent Living and experiences a decline in health necessitating increased care (Assisted Living or Memory Care) the additional services come to the resident, and the resident does not have to relocate to a new apartment in Assisted Living or Memory Care. This is a very nice accommodation! Also, the Grove employs their own "Nursing Staff" who can attend to residents when there is a fall, skin tear, etc. The resident does not have to go to the doctor or an ER to get checked out. The nursing staff comes to see the resident in their apartment. The Grove is centrally located in Austin and has several restaurants within walking distance of the community. The streets are well-lit, and the sidewalks are new and wide enough to accommodate individuals who use walkers or wheelchairs and there seems to be plenty of parking. Many more pluses in the services offered in this community. Well worth stopping by to see if this community is fit for your family member or loved one.

The staff is amazing, with the daily care, activities, and a true nurturing attitude, they filled Mom's days with love. It was a great relief for me, knowing she was being well taken care of, better than I could have done, and that she was safe and happy. I would not hesitate to have another family member live here.
