12 Oaks Senior Living

My mother spent her last 30 days at Mercer Place. She was treated with the dignity and respect we had hoped for. With the small number of residents, it allowed employees more hands on time with residents who required the extra help - or at least more individual attention than we had witnessed at a much larger facility. We felt is was a good choice for our situation.

The staff made my mother in law feel welcome and included. They made sure she was invited to all the activities and she was loving life there in less than a week!

Everything was great while my loved one was here. They took good care. I didn't have any major complaints. I would rate them very highly. It was clean and the staff was friendly. I would recommend them to others.

The apartments at Gramercy are large have big windows with nice views and they fill the apartment with sunshine. The food is very good with many choices. The staff has been very friendly and helpful. They allow pets, which very important for our mother.

So far things are going pretty good. The food is pretty good so far. They have plenty of entertainment and activities. They have a bus that will take us out to the grocery stores, but I don't see if they have transportation to appointments or not, but that would be nice. I don't have any complaints so far.

We've had a very positive experience with Brookdale Irving! My loved one really seems to be settling in well and enjoying himself here, he has made a few friends already! The staff has been very helpful throughout the whole experience, and they've delivered on everything they promised during the touring process. I would recommend them to others looking into this sort of care in the area!

Great facility, friendly staff. Food is good. Would be better only if staff size could be increased.

Very friendly staff, good food, and wonderful facility.

Right now I would say the only thing missing is more people who like to play a nice relaxing game and not too competitive. Otherwise it is about perfect for me. The apartment are a little on the small side but this is a positive for me as I have mobility issues and I can grab something if needed. The apartments have wonderfully high ceilings that make them look bigger and provide opportunity for creative decorating. The bathroom is a good size and has a nice walk-in shower. The facility is less than 15 yrs old and has nice gathering places such as the media center where you can watch a movie on the big screen TV with surround sound, play games, read a book or sit on the balcony to watch the sun set, They are truely pet friendly and have a nice fenced area for play. The laundry facilities are adequate but busy. I moved here from another retirement community and get more amenities for less money- 3 meals/day instead of the 2 at the old place (except Sat/Sun), daily trash pick up at my door, wkly housekeeping/linen service, fresh vegetables cooked just right and a full breakfast every morning if you want it and no dehydrated, reconstituted powdered eggs! I could go on but I'm running out of room. I'm getting so much more and better quality than the old place and at $400 less a month. The apartment may be smaller and the game players fewer in numbers but the move was definitely worth the effort. I didn't mention the incentives. I was lucky enough to catch a special that helped with moving expenses. Come check it out. I think you will be pleased too, They arent perfect but they are darn close,

If they don’t go up in price – it’s very reasonably priced. They have a good staff. It’s very clean, and priced right. The food is very good. I think everyone’s been real pleasant to deal with and helpful. There’s nothing to argue about. There is plenty of parking.

I was directed to Emeritus by A Place for Mom when I was searching for a place for an elder friend who had no family. Everyone was very helpful, understanding and patient - taking the time to listen to all my concerns about my friend. Within a week we had secured a suite for him at Emeritus. He seems to have adjusted well. I know he is eating better now. It was important to him to remain in the Irving area and he appears to be very happy in his new home. Emeritus has made his transition so easy and affordable.

We liked the Atriums very much except that it's independent living. The second floor is assisted living but mom had bypassed that - they weren't able to care for her at the level she needed. But we liked them very much.

The staff is mostly friendly and helpful. I have been here I full year today. There have been a lot of people left and replaced. The food quality has been decreasing very bad lately. If they get the food fixed it would be a nice place.

I was trying to find the best fit for my parents. A Place for Mom recommended Retreat at Carrollton for us to visit. My husband and I decided to see it first before taking my parents for a visit. We were so impressed when we first entered the facility. It's brand new, with a lot of natural light. We love the contemporary style. The staff members provided a lot of very helpful information. When we took my parents there, they fell in love with it right away. We took the advantage to choose the unit that fits them the best. Our whole family is so happy and so thankful for Retreat at Carrollton. This is my parents' new home. Compare with living in their own house, I know this new home gives them a better life quality.

The facility was quiet, clean and friendly and comfortable. Everyone was nice. She was only there for about 6 weeks before she passed away so she wasn't able to participate in any of the activities but from my observations it seems that there were lots of nice activities keeping folks engaged. My only complaint was that mom was supposed to get a land yard call button her first week and she never received one even after multiple requests. The staff was nice to her and to me. Thanks I would recommend Mercer Terrace to someone in the same situation

Best value for the money. Check around and you'll see. Transportation to stores and doctors is really good. I would recommend to others.

The Reunion at Clear Lake was one of the better options for my parents who are in their 90s and have special needs. The community is active and it's nice to see residents around every time I stop in. My parent's are still adjusting to the lifestyle of living in an apartment and having to do some things for themselves. All people who work there are very nice and try to be accommodating. My mother says staff do not come as soon as she needs them when pressing the alert button. I think the staff do the best they can with amount of people they take care of. I thinks it's great they know everyone's name. There were 2 things that concerned me. 1. The tracking of my mother's meds ans 2. Tracking the water needed for my mother's oxygen machine.

I have made friends here and eat meals at various tables with them. The WFV is an old building and has not been maintained well. I've heard multiple tenants comments on allergies to unknown causes. I suffer greatly when I go down for meals and usually end up sick for several days. I have had pneumonia for the first time in my life, and suffer with multiple allergic reactions.

Overall, good. We picked them because it was close to my house. I would recommend to others.

The price was certainly a factor. Emerson is not the most modern or blinged up apartment. But it offers a lot for the price. My mother is very happy there
