I'd like to take a moment and share with you my visit to Simpson Place!!! It's a hidden gem that I…read morebelieve could help many of you in your current situation. I encourage you to visit, and see for yourself how nice it is and ask if you qualify. There are no high-pressure sales, just a polite personalities that really wants to help you find a solution. What is Simpson Place? It is an assisted living and skilled nursing community that offers care and support for low- and moderate-income senior adults. I assure you that this location looks & feels like an upscale hotel. You are greeted by friendly faces when you step in the door. The lobby is spacious and full of energy. The dining area is open, beautifully decorated, and clean. Even though I did not get to see the food, the menu offered healthy and alternative options. The community space had comfortable seating, by a bookcase and fireplace, very nice! The activities room was large and obviously used often. A resident said hello and expressed how much she enjoys living there (that was a huge plus!). As a resident, you get a 1 bedroom studio apartment. It's comforting to know that if skilled nursing is needed at some point, that service is available in the same building. I visited the rehab area and could see that the equipment was new, clean, the overall setup was impressive. What you really want to know is ... how much does it cost? Maybe nothing! Let Cory work with you and discover what you qualify for. In my case, I was thrilled to learn they accept Molina and Superior Star Plus waiver (Medicaid programs). You can certainly do private pay which is 3,000 a month. Either way, this includes the utilities, cable, wifi, housekeeping, daily activities, three meals a day plus 24\7 security. The staff taking care of your loved ones are all licensed CNA'S, CMA'S and LVN'S, who also manage the medications. In addition, there is a doctor who visits the communities.

After visiting several senior living communities, I chose Monticello West for my mom because they…read moreoffered an "enhanced assisted living" option, which was supposed to accommodate residents needing two-person transfers. I was also impressed early on, especially with Nan who was responsive and helpful in answering all my questions. Things started off okay, but one issue showed up pretty quickly. My mom uses a wheelchair and needed help getting to and from the dining room. Staff would take her down for meals, and when she was ready to return to her room, she'd press the button on her fob for assistance. On multiple occasions, she was left waiting alone in the dining room for over an hour. This was frustrating and embarrassing for her. There was also a staff member who pushed my mom to do more than she was physically capable of. Something happened (I was never told exactly what), but I was informed that the person was written up and instructed not to go back to my mom's room. Additionally, Nan stopped replying to my emails, and messages to other staff were often ignored too. We had an initial meeting where I was told I'd be introduced to all the department heads. Only a couple of people showed up; apparently my mom wasn't considered important enough for the full team. The director, Tom, was not present and I had no contact with him until I gave notice to move my mom elsewhere. To her credit, Sandra, who managed my mom's floor, was always responsive to my emails and phone calls. However, about a year into my mom's stay, she called to tell me they could no longer meet my mom's needs. She said that my mom now needed more than two people to assist with transfers. I asked how much time I had to find a new facility, and she said, "About two weeks." That's not what the contract says, but at that point, I didn't want my mom to stay somewhere that couldn't or wouldn't care for her properly. My mom later told me they'd recently hired a bunch of new staff who weren't well trained, so sometimes it would take 3 or 4 of them to transfer her. They would also gather in her room to chat with each other. Ironically, just a few days after Sandra's call, I saw one of the experienced caregivers transfer my mom by herself, quickly and with care. When I asked her how she did it, she smiled and said, "Patience." I found another facility and scheduled my mom's move for a Sunday. Since her birthday was the day before, I asked about reserving a room for a small celebration. I was told that due to Covid concerns, no rooms were available. That was fine; I told my mom's friends we'd meet outside on the patio to play it safe. Several of her guests, most of whom were senior citizens, told me that Laura (the activities director) raised her voice at them and told them they weren't allowed to be there. She also raised her voice at me. I explained we were outside and following all the rules, but it didn't seem to matter. The whole thing left a really bad taste. After we moved my mom out and cleared her room, I asked when I'd receive the refund for the unused portion of the month's rent. I mentioned that I had accidentally taken her fob and would return it as soon as I could. Tom implied I wouldn't be refunded for the days I had the fob, which seemed petty, but the facility eventually processed the full refund. Still, it wasn't the kind of support I needed during such a stressful transition. To be fair, some staff were wonderful. Kam, TT, Cynthia, and Willis were kind, respectful, and truly cared about my mom. The maintenance guys and housekeeping team were always polite and helpful. Thankfully, my mom is now in a facility that truly values her. They care for her with patience and compassion. When friends visit, they're welcomed, not scolded. Phone calls and emails are returned. When my mom needs help, she gets it within minutes, versus hours. She's happy now, and that makes me happy too. (It should be noted that I took a tour of Monticello West's sister facility, Autumn Leaves, as recommended by Sandra. It reeked of urine and was one of the most depressing places I have ever visited.) Looking back, I wish I'd installed a camera in her room at Monticello West from day one. If you have a loved one there, I strongly recommend you do.

I first reviewed this assisted living and memory care facility almost 4 years ago when it initially…read moreopened under the name of Harbor Chase of the Park Cities. Since that time the facility changed management & became The Preston of the Park Cities. My mother has been a resident since the place first opened as Harbor Chase. The place is gorgeous and they are far more creative with their food and menus than any other place we initially looked at. Although there has been turnover in staff over the years, the best key players on staff stayed & have become real assets to the place. When Covid hit we were tremendously concerned about how this would be dealt with and how the residents would be protected. Watermark, who is the management company have done a phenomenal job handling the pandemic and keeping residents safe and their families well informed. The staff & residents were fully vaccinated by late January. Finding a great place for a parent, spouse or relative who needs assistance can be a very trying time in everyone's life. You'd be hard pressed to find a better place for them than The Preston of the Park Cities.

Baylor House Calls was very good when they were visiting my Mom at our home, but that changed once…read moreMom moved into a residential care home. I feel that the quality of care and communication changed dramatically, and not in a good way. This could be due to personnel and workload, but I won't go into detail here. It was awful and required my intervention, follow-up, and just plain nagging. If they recommend a third party for some type of specialized care, get a second opinion and really investigate. Mom is dead now and I so regret our last experience with Baylor House Calls -- I would have kept her at home as a patient with the staff assigned to our area if it had been possible. Her medical care would have been much better.

I have taken care of my Mom's health care for over 6 years. I have never had worse experiences with a health provider. I can honestly say that I have not had one interaction with them that was positive. The whole reason I switched to Baylor Elder House Calls was to get a different view point on my mother's medication management. I filled out all the necessary paperwork before their initial visit. When they showed up they did not have any information on her medication even though it had all been submitted to them in advance. They were very disorganized. They left things in their car that they needed. They sent a nurse practitioner instead of the doctor. I was never informed of their visits per my requests. Prescriptions were not called in as promised. Each time it took several calls. They block their phone numbers so that you do not have direct access to reach out to them when they do not call in prescriptions. Every interaction can take 1-2 days to get someone to actually call you back. I had an urgent health assessment done in order to admit my Mother into a new facility. It was a requirement of DADS that it be done within so many days. I had to call several times in order to get it scheduled. They finally went but never sent the report. It is now 30 days later and I am still having to call daily to try to get someone to send the report. If you are overseeing the care of an elderly loved one, steer clear of this group unless you have a ton of extra time to spend chasing everyone down.

This is a review of an "assisted living / retirement home"…read more The "Tradition - Lovers Lane Assisted Living" is a great place to check out if you're looking for assisted living. One of my overall highlights is on the top floor, the fourth floor is where they are dedicated to work with folks that have difficulty in memory, like alzheimer's or dementia. It's sad issue to deal with, but hopefully with a little hope and love, the right place can at least help. Now a person can live on the bottom three floors and go up to the fourth floor for sessions or to join in on with the groups. Great transition management systems are in place here at the Tradition. Heck, if and when I do have problems in this area, the Tradition is a great place to check out! "Tradition" also has another section for non-assisted living, both which are very nice! So they cater to both folks that need help and do not assistance. They are right next door to each other and in a great location of Dallas. Being right next door to Central Market and close by to highway 75 makes it easy to get to other parts of Dallas at certain times of the day. Dallas traffic can be an odd, you just have to know when and how to drive in the traffic. Back to the "Tradition assisted living", It's new, well located and I love the floor plan. It is easy for folks to make it back to their room. The building design is nice, in that a person is not going to get lost that easy at all. From the rooms, hall ways, exercise rooms, and special rooms are really good looking. The rooms have a high tech / heat monitor system and learns a heat monitor body system. Let's say your grandmother gets up at 4 in the morning to go to the restroom, it can detect if shoe has fallen and can not get up and alerts the staff on duty. We past by where they served meals and you could smell in the air that the food was very tasty! There are several elevators in the building, and it seems very easy for a person to make it to and from location to location. They have a water suspension work out are that looks very cool. They also have a number of highlights as well, like their hair/mani/pedi office, snack area, libraries, worship area. We received such kind introductions to the staff. The fourth floor, at least I thought I would be scared about, but it was so damn cool, a number of rooms that are to help enhance the creative side of the mind. A fun back porch with a fun view, hell, if I go, send me here! The "Tradition ~ Assisted Living" is a place I would totally feel comfortable with and recommend! If you are reading this review, do go by and check it out, and know it may be tough, but finding the right place will ease you heart and mind beyond belief. I only wish you and yours the best in life, Bill
