Five Star Senior Living

I visited 4 different places and my senses told me Gateway was comfortable and at ease. Write down all your questions before going to a first time meeting. This helps gets other questions opened up as well.

Pluses of The Forum at the Woodlands are: • Convenience of the location to anyone living in or near The Woodlands • As close to a continuous care facility available in The Woodlands, with Independent Living (IL) cottages, to apartments, to Assisted Living (AL) at two levels of need, AND a memory care option on campus. • Home health care and physical therapy are both on site • A full-service hair salon on campus • Many activities, field trips etc. to choose from • Transportation is available to residents by reservation. • The newly redecorated dining room has continuous quality control. • The property itself is beautiful, and maintenance is ongoing and prompt when called. • Most respected of all is the longevity of many staff members at all levels of management. The current manager has created a strong ATTENTIVE team to help residents and their families belong on this property. • The Forum is like living in a small town, rather than a “facility”.

The price is very good. There's plenty to do to get involved in . They provide transportation to doctors and shopping . The food is outstanding. And all the help seems to know my name. If you have an issue with your room it is taken care of in a reasonable time . Couldn't be more happy with my choice .

The fact that if she needs to move to memory care, she won't have to change facilities! Her room is close to dining room. Mother said she would tell them the food isn't good! Medicine ladies are very nice! Mother says dining room floor needs to be mopped!

My Mom would love to have some fun entertainment activities like sing-a-longs, lively music, or tambourine sing/ dance-a-longs. Something a little more up beat and fun! Faster and better service in the dinning room. Location, my mom was still able to go to her med clinic for activities that she enjoyed and friends that she was close to. We also felt that it was a good size. Some places we thought were way too big.

I can’t be with my dad 24/7. Who can? But at a place like Barrington Terrace, there’s people everywhere! It’s intimate. I could speak about my father to any team member, and everybody knows exactly what, why and who I’m talking about! I love that everyone is on a first name basis. This is a safe place! I sleep at night again. I don’t have to worry. Thank you. Barington Terrace!

I believe that Morningside in the West End does a VERY good job caring for all of their Residents. I believe that their job is VERY stressful and overwhelming and I commend them for what they do. More volunteers and family involvement could assist the Residents with feeling comfortable and loved. They not only care for my LOVED one but also 86+ more Residents, they certainly have their hands full.

Experience depends on personal choices and level of involvement. Redecorating just completed: paint, artwork, new furniture. A sense of community! As a resident in Independent Living, I have not used any in-house care, but there are available: therapy, exercise classes, personal safety, transportation, and medical monitoring if needed. Always responsive. Restaurant quality. Many choices: clubs, lectures, in-house library, card games, and musical entertainment available. Expensive, but good value.

So kind and friendly. Seeing the staff interact with the residents was the reason we chose the Forum. The other places we toured had newer, larger spaces but the staff were so interactive and kind. And we did a surprise visit, so we knew it was genuine.

The facility is lovely and the staff have been great to work with and yes, we would recommend Granite Gate Senior Living to other families.

recently had the pleasure of visiting Brenden Gardens, an independent retirement community, and I can’t speak highly enough of the experience. From the moment I arrived, [name removed] in the marketing department was incredibly welcoming and helpful. She took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I felt at ease as I toured the facilities. Her kindness and patience truly stood out, and I could tell she genuinely cared about the residents and their well-being. The kitchen staff were equally impressive. They were friendly, engaging, and eager to accommodate special dietary needs. The meals I sampled were not only delicious but thoughtfully prepared with care. Additionally, the maintenance team was always approachable and happy to lend a hand whenever needed. Whether it was a quick fix or answering a question about the community’s amenities, they were always willing and excited to help. Overall, the atmosphere at Brenden Gardens is warm, welcoming, and a great place for mom!

Great place to live. The grounds are beautiful. Good location. Food is excellent. There are ducks. The staff is friendly and helpful. Maintenance is responsive. The only downside is it’s an older facility so there are sometimes maintenance issues.

[name removed] is amazing. So dedicated. Thank you taking great care of our parents. [name removed]is delightful!! Love the activities food is delicious. Nice and friendly staff. Outdoor pond with ducks and turtles. Lots of space to walk pets

There are a variety of options available to meet whatever needs you have, be lots of care to just a few added safety measures. Additionally, there are so many activities available, which I appreciate immensely.

Everyone is very kind and they go out of their way to be helpful. To take care of the needs of their families. They consider everyone that is living there. Whether it be independent, assisted or memory care family. Am very glad that we moved mom into independent living. She is extremely happy. She's safe, she's warm and she gets 2 meals a day. They also clean every 2 weeks side to side. Top to bottom every cottage and every inside apartment.

We had a great experience there but my father wanted to go back to his home. It was clean and nice facility. I would recommend NewSeasons at New Britain to others.

Staff is good, caring and the place is clean, homey, not feeling like a hospital. My mom loved the food, activities. Liked how they kept us in the loop on her care. The cost was reasonable. Would use them again.

After looking at several places, we knew as soon as we walked in that this was the one. Staff is attentive, friendly, helpful and caring. They offer a variety of activities & entertainment. We are impressed and very pleased with HeartFields.

My parents moved to Heartfields at Cary about 3 weeks ago. They are doing great! They have said the food is great. The staff are kind, compassionate and friendly. Everyone loves their dog. Heartfields at Cary has given me peace of mind because my parents are getting healthy meals, their medications as well as social interaction. So far so good.

We made the difficult decision to find an assisted living community for our dad. He was transitioning from living with me and my family to Forrest Heights. He has really enjoyed having his own space and feeling more independent than just trying to fit into our lifestyle. He cannot say enough good things about the food, he is always complimenting the chef! They have made his transition smooth and he feels comfortable and safe. That means the world to my sister and I.
