SilverPoint Senior Living

My loved one really seems to be enjoying herself at Emeritus at Woodbridge Estates. It's a nice looking community, the staff all seem very friendly, and they've got some nice amenities! She's said they do a good job with the food, good quality and good variety. I would like to see them have a bit more going on in terms of activities, though.

My advisor didn't give up on me even when I had just about given up finding the right place!

Really like the staff! They have a true interest in my fathers stay there and everyone is anxious to help. The facility feels like home, even nicer than dads home. Dad like the food and he has made friends from the first day there. I highly recommend!

I like the fact that it is not real big and multi-level, it's just one level and easy to get around. Everything is pretty accessible. My father is there and he is doing pretty well, started there in September and he's getting more used to it. We liked that it was close to the medical center.

We chose Woodbridge for the following reasons: - proximity to us - the cost - they had more than one opening so there was some flexibility with which room Dad would have - they were the most helpful with additional information that wasn't directly related to their facility Now that Dad has been there for over a week and we have stopped by at a variety of times to visit Dad and drop off various items; we can give this review. The only surprises at move-in, were we didn't realize all that we needed to provide (bed, bedding, any additional furniture, bathroom supplies, towels, etc.) The staff is attentive to the residents. He seems content and has only hinted once about leaving when he asked me if I had my car...

I think my father is very happy there. He is 90 and not able to walk so I rather doubt he get involved in the activities there. I believe the care is good. It cost too much. I think all these facilities charge the elderly people too much the cost is not going toward new carpet or anything like that. The place isn't bad, it's an old place. I think ti's been there for a while and I think it was something else before. As far as up doing the place I don't think they're using the money for that. Emeritus seems to work for my father, just a different feel, a different classes of people. The staff is very friendly. They were able to take out father which we appreciated.

The value is really good. There is a base price and an additional charge for care and the care has been pretty good. I haven't had any issues. I don't think dad's done a lot of the activities because he spends most of his time going to dialysis. They've got all the activities posted on the board but most of them are during his dialysis days and then he need rest in between. It's been pretty good. The only issue was trying to get him to the dialysis appointments. They said they could take him there in the interview but then they said it became too much time, especially on the days when they take the other residents to Walmart.

Great staff. Every person I encountered was friendly. The person who runs the Memory Care, Mary, obviously cares for the residents. Like that many resident's doors are open. Like the activities and interaction. This would be a possible option for us.

Type B - 1 level-good option

This facility was just fine, but it seems like an older facility. It also feels a little more like a nursing home than we would like.

Brookdale Longview was dingy, old and depressing. It was cluttered. As soon as my cousin and I walked in, we shook out heads and had the same impression, they need a facelift. It was not what we were looking for.

Older facility but with appears to be a great staff of personnel. Ms Van Sciver was very helpful and gave me a wonderful tour.

Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The weekend staff could use some help and improvement. Yes, we would recommend FountainBrook to oher families based on the experience we have had so far.

I think it is a good facility for someone who is more independent. The food definitely lacks in variety and presentation. The nursing staff is lovely. The aids and care attendants are generally helpful but seem to be overwhelmed sometimes with the workload. My Dad requires quite a bit of attendance and I understand that there are additional care levels but not sure how with their current staff level they could accommodate many people with heavy care needs. The food is bland and poorly prepared. I understand that their chef was out for a while but even since he has returned it does not seem to have improved much. Activities are basic and over the holidays there was nothing planned for those that had to stay at the facility.

Don't expect call backs when waiting for information. Don't expect to get updated information for services like housekeeping and laundry services. Don't expect people to readily offer information for items that you don't know.

I think staff is great but understaffed. My mom's room could get cleaned more frequently. And I would like to see more reminders for activities. I feel my mom misses a lot of them. After hours no one answers the phone on assisted living side I have to call memory care. Same with answering the door after hours. Maybe get a keypad for entry after hours or a card to swipe to open the door.

I think Elan Corpus Christi is great, but I think they have a hard time keeping staff. I'm not sure if that is the case for all assisted living places or just them. My aunt really needed skilled nursing and my uncle needed memory care. Elan worked very hard to accommodate them but at the end of the day their needs were great. Once my aunt passed away we did move my uncle to the memory care side of Elan. It was very hard on my uncle. We had caregivers coming in for 16 hours/day. He passed away two months after my aunt.

My loved one is a resident at Duncanville Senior Living. The senior nurses and directors are always brushing you off and are never available. They never follow up. They mix up residents' clothes when washing. They also allow other residents to go into other residents' homes and take items. The move in process was okay. The meals are okay, not the best quality. Management needs to be available more when questions are needed to be answered. And clothes need to be washed.

The staff is friendly. Activities seemed limited. The residents spent too much time in their rooms. The food served just didn't look appetizing. I didn't eat because everything looked over cooked. However, my husband eats anything. I might recommend. It would depend on the awareness of the memory patient and how often someone checked on them.

I toured this facility and really liked it. Great view, affordable, run very well. They also followed up with me via phone after my tour, which I appreciated and thought was great.
