This community is so much better than anything I expected. I was new to the world of senior housing and had heard horror stories but the staff at Anthology of Plano has proved them all wrong. I have a loved one here who is so happy. She gets much better meals than she did at home, she had made friends and I'm always astonished at the fact that everyone there knows her name. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you to the entire staff at Anthology of Plano; I will recommend to anyone who asks for a great assisted living community. Congratulations on a job well done!

My mother has lived here for three years and every day I am reminded why I chose to move her to this community. We looked at so many but just had the feeling that mom would be happiest and most at home here. Through the ups and downs of her health, my mom has had such a wonderful experience at Mapleshade, which is now Anthology of Plano. I would say that every staff member knows her and has become an extension of our family. I am grateful to the care my mom has received and the fact that she has remained safe and healthy during this turbulent time in society gives me the ultimate peace of mind. Thank you to everyone at Anthology for caring for my mother with your hearts!

As an extended family member of a current resident, and volunteer to the community, THIS STAFF IS AWESOME! At the initial news of the coronavirus, the executive director implemented a plan to keep our loved one, the residents and her staff safe. She has kept us informed of all changes and updates to the ever-changing protocols that are being implemented daily. Amidst the craziness of the shelter in place, and not being able to have personal visits or directly volunteer, I've felt everyone's best interests are being taken care of. No one anywhere and in any industry had any idea of how things were going to go with this pandemic. This team has worked through every detail to ensure the residents receive their meals delivered to their apartment doors hot and fresh. Even having precautions in place to ensure that outside contact was eliminated or limited. Of course, everyone misses seeing their loved one and emotions have run high with the fear of the unknown, but with God's grace and the teamwork this community has exhibited, we couldn't be happier with the continuous good news coming from the executive director that everyone is doing well. All staff have gone beyond their normal duties to help and assist the residents with things like video calls, so we can see our family member, and requesting my volunteer group to mail drawings, letters and cards to keep the residents in good spirits. Staff have even helped order groceries online and have personally picked up and delivered. The staff's smiles and positive spirits behind their masks are truly felt. My family and I understand this situation isn't easy on any of us, including the staff, and just want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the executive director and her team for doing what you do every day to take care of our family member, all of the other residents and their families through this pandemic. We hope to be able to give you all a hug soon, but until then, THANK YOU and God bless!!!!

I visited this community after hearing about it from a friend who was looking for her mother. What a beautiful place and the people working there are so genuine. It's rare to find a senior living establishment with the class this one has. Top notch. The Executive Director and nurse were so helpful to me. Nowhere else to look for my parents.

We appreciate everything they do. They have been so nice to us ever since we moved in and are being very careful to observe the precautions that need to be taken to keep us healthy and safe from the virus. They are bringing us a special little gift to keep our spirits up and giving us things like mental activities to do. They are so thoughtful and so kind. We would like to name the ones who have been especially helpful, but that would be all of them!

I made Anthology my home 2 years ago. It is a wonderful community and environment. The staff and other residents feel like family. I recommend living here....all fun and none of the maintenance of owning a home. LL

[Date removed]: Back in December 2019, I inspected four Assisted Living and four Independent Living communities for my 81 year old mother.My mother whom was adamant she did NOT want to move. Anthology Senior Solutions Independent Living turned out to be the best solution for my mother. The reason Anthology was the best is because there was no comparison. Not a single other senior community even came close. The level of attention, warmth, hospitality, professionalism, and most important their level of CARING, was simply unmatched by any other Caregiving solution in the Galleria area of Houston. It was truly a TEAM effort, from the maintenance gentlemen, to the activities coordinator, the receptionists, the managers, the general manager, and even all the way up to the President. The entire team and organization are dedicated to caring for each and every resident of the Anthology community. Oh, I should mention the other residents also seemed to be a class above. I was fortunate to have moved Mum into Anthology just before the COVID-19 pandemic really hit the Houston area. And over the last 45 days my mother has been living at Anthology, the team has continued their unrelenting CARE and attention to details insuring the safety of the residents and the Team. Thank you Anthology Senior Solutions...

The Village at Mapleshade is a wonderful community that truly cares about its' residents. I am so thankful to everyone from the Executive Director to the part-time staff there. It is clear how much they love what they do. Thank you for taking such good care of the people who live there; they put your trust in you with good faith and reason. In my opinion, there is nowhere better for anyone who wants to age in place in a community that is fantastic for so many reasons. Clean and beautiful, great care, AMAZING food and so much to do. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This community has a very nice warmth to it- the residents here care about each other, and the staff here cares about the community members and their families. This community is diverse, respectful, welcoming, and full of lifelong learners.

The facilities were very bright and inviting. Everything is on the ground floor. The staff was very nice and informative. This senior living facility is all inclusive and even gives all residents a monitor to wear for their safety. We were very impressed and my mother-in-law is happy and signed on right away.

The staff here was amazing. The facility is first class. We are excited about getting my dad set up here. We have already started the process. Thank you so much

Very nice facility and wonderful informative lady [name removed]. Would love to live there. We have to work on our budget and see what we can sell our house for. Thank you so much.

Nice visit and facility. Lacks continuing care aspect, however. Still on our list of possibilities.

Never have I seen a facility with as many happy and smiling people. The building itself is gorgeous. The amenities are outstanding. The only drawback for us was the price. We do not have the budget to sustain my MIL for a lengthy time in this facility. Was perfect for us, only 4 miles away, but budget constraints are frustrating. Have found prices inside the 610 Loop in Houston to be from $4,000-$6,500 a month.

The staff is wonderful. When my mother first moved it, they were very understanding of her recently being widowed. They have wonderful activities, both at the residence and as outings. The dining area is very nice, and the portions are generous.

I am very impressed with this community. They greeted me offered me coffee or water asked me to fill out some information. Spoke with me about my needs. Gave me a tour. I like this property but its pricey.

Very beautiful, open light luxurious living spaces. A park outside and lovely outdoor spaces too. Kind and helpful staff, [name removed] was very helpful with questions and tour. Delicious meals. Lively area to live in Austin with many levels of care and diverse residents.

The staff are great. My mom is happy and stays busy all of the time. I love the attention to detail that the staff has given our family. Lots of hugs and friendly faces each time I visit. A blessing to me and mom.

My mom had a rough beginning during her transition to Assisted Living after her stroke. The SNF she was in was horrible, and made the transfer to VOM horrible by not furnishing information to help get my mom situated. [Name removed] was absolutely WONDERFUL getting my mom in and organized, always quick with responses, even on his day off. I can't say enough good things about him! After we got that all sorted out, mom has settled in. The rooms are spacious, she calls it her "apartment". VOM smells clean and well kept, and is always tidy. The decorations are lovely, landscaping always kept up, and mom is proud to tell others that she lives there. She has made some wonderful friends, including some of the staff. Some of the staff are wonderful, kind, loving people who genuinely care about the residents. The concierges that work at the front desk are the loveliest people you could ever meet, every single one of them. Kind and welcoming, and always ready to bend over backwards to solve problems! There is always a sour apple in the barrel, no business has 100% perfect employees. We have had issues with a few of the caregivers not responding quickly enough when my mom needed help, and other times were concerned that they were understaffed, thus causing delays. We feel fairly confident that they are working hard to rectify these issues, and feel heard when we express our concerns. The wonderful caregivers FAR FAR outnumber the not-so-hot!! All in all, we have been exceptionally pleased that we chose VOM to care for my mom, and wouldn't go anywhere else!

Small community of assisted living residents. Family-like atmosphere. My Mom has made great friends here and is well taken care of, without being pushed to do things she doesn’t want to do. Very friendly and caring staff. I can’t think of anything she needs, or that I wish they’d be better at.
