When I called and spoke to Christine about the situation she immediately sprung into action and expedited the transfer of my mom to Villages. My mom is a 73 year old retired nurse and the nurses at villages treat her with admiration and respect. I have overheard them telling my mother "thank you for your service as a nurse" which truly warms my heart. Christine has kept in constant contact with me via text and phone calls that I feel like she is a friend who I can count on to make sure my mom is being cared for even when I can not visit for a couple days. Knowing that my mother is getting the care she deserves for her karmic retribution of being an exceptional nurse for over 40 yrs is such a peace of mind for me. The rooms are private and very well decorated to add to the list of wonderful things. They allow you to bring your leashed pets in for a visit too! We feel so lucky to be at villages of lake highlands!!!

My mother and her husband moved to Walnut Place from their home last August. My mom's husband had…read morethe beginnings of dementia and my Mom was unable to walk too well or feed herself independently. They had to be moved several times due to his issues but the staff was always caring and pleasant. I learned so much what these nurses had to endure daily, I have a new respect for what they do at Walnut Place. The head nurses communicated very honestly with me and my brother on what steps would be best for both of them. It is always hard to move your loved ones to a nursing facility from their home. But I truly feel that Walnut Place was the best place for them.

My dad was a resident at Walnut Place from July 2021 through December 2021. At the time, my dad was…read more85 years old and had been diagnosed with dementia for approximately 2 years. He was initially hospitalized at Presbyterian for a UTI in July and the doctors there recommended to my mom that he be transferred to Walnut Place for further treatment/rehab. I am unsure if there is an affiliation between Presbyterian and Walnut Place but it seems likely that there is. My mom took Presbyterian's recommendation at face value and had my dad moved to Walnut Place.  My dad lived on 3 different floors while he was a resident there. It was in his first room on the 2nd floor where he tried to get out of bed. This resulted in him falling and fracturing his wrist. To this day, it is unclear to me why he was in a bed without bars since this would have likely impeded this activity. The staff on this floor was fairly hit and miss. Shortly after this, my dad moved to the Rehab To Home program. These rooms are located on the 6th floor, and this was his best experience. The rooms were all clean with small kitchenettes, the staff was friendly, and my dad's needs were attended to, such as cutting up his food & feeding him, changing him regularly, clean bed linens etc. His last and final move to the 3rd floor is the primary reason for this rating. This floor always smelled like urine. As soon as you stepped off the elevator, it hit you in the face. I saw at least 3 roaches in my dad's room during his time there. Face masks, paper towels, and wet wipes were scarce if existent at all. We never found one of the foot pedals for his personal wheelchair after it mysteriously disappeared.  I would do my best to come to Dallas 2 weekends a month. It never failed that when I would arrive on a Friday or Saturday morning that I would find my dad with food all over his face and clothing. My dad could not cut up food or feed himself at this time and there were instructions for staff to assist with this. When I would ask staff about this, they would get short and defensive with me and tell me they did not have the time. Even more disturbing than the food was the fact that my dad was often soaked in urine and occasionally soiled with feces. My dad was still lucid at this point and he was very embarrassed about this. I can only speculate that my dad was in similar conditions on the mornings that I was not there.  My dad was moved to this floor because staff had determined that he required 2 staff members to assist him, and that was not a "service" available through the Rehab To Home program. Good luck finding 2 staff members on the 3rd floor who were not only available but also willing to help. I would track someone down and either get told, I'll be there soon (and not see this person again), or I'd be met with attitude about how busy they were, my dad's room wasn't in their section etc. One aide practically yelled her schedule in my face. I would offer to help and sometimes that would result in him getting cleaned up sooner but then there was no reason for him to be on this floor if the 2-person requirement couldn't be met with current staffing. It was $6000/month for this "service." Do your due diligence now, folks. If you have an aging parent or family member, start looking at facilities now. Have a list of questions. What is the turnover rate? How many staff are there during busy times such as meal services? Is there a daily checklist for each resident? Who maintains that checklist and ensures that each item is carried out? What accommodations do they provide and how does the facility ensure that these accommodations are implemented?  Ask for recommendations from trusted friends and family. Do not just take your loved one to the first facility that a hospital or doctor recommends. We were lucky that my mom could sit with my dad a lot of the day to ensure he received the care he needed. Not all residents were that fortunate.  There were some very kind staff who worked at Walnut Place, and I always made sure they knew how much we appreciated them. The arts & crafts ladies were so sweet and you could tell they loved their jobs. The front desk staff, the physical therapists, and the doctors were all knowledgeable and helpful. But the aides here, who are the backbone of this facility (and this industry, in general), were overall unreliable, unpleasant & not helpful. If they are indifferent and/or negligent, it is your loved ones who will suffer as a result.

We brought her home that weekend and the loving and caring staff not only got her comfortable but more importantly, she had a series of falls the last few months before this hospital visit, so she had not walked for almost 8 months. She was started on some muscle strengthening exercises, given some tender love and care, and not only did she make it through the weekend, but she walked about a month later for the first time in a long time, and lived almost 7 months after receiving such initial devastating news. We collectively know that it was Accord Palliative and Hospice Care that went above and beyond for our family. Thank you guys so much for caring for us in our time of need. -Davis Family

My mother recently passed away but she lived at Tender Care Home for Adults for about 7 months,…read morefrom last summer until her passing at the end of January. This is a group home and not a large facility. They can only have a maximum of 6 residents. A group home is a great alternative to a large facility, especially if you or your loved ones have a limited budget. The caregivers that work at this home are so loving and caring. The couple who own this home are so nice and have much experience in this business. As the previous reviewer mentioned, the home is always clean and tidy. It isn't a fancy or new home by any means, but it's clean and the caregivers are wonderful, what else can you ask for. They don't often have available beds, but if you can get your loved one in here you will be happy that you did.

****Please don't be fooled by this place for your loved one****…read moreThis place is VERY outdated and really does not deserve 1 star. My loved one is in this facility and the Anderson building on the 2nd floor has no A/C. It is very stuffy and the rooms are VERY small, like the bed is literally at the door and feels like a rock, look like a bed for a toddler. The room is something out of the 60's decor, the owners ought to be ASHAME of themselves. The building is old and very outdated, why do we treat our Seniors this way? I will not recommend anyone to this retirement home...NO WAY!!! They need to do some major updates to the decor and also the staff as well. Called for a nurse, she did not come until 20 mins after, glad it was not an emergency. I am not impressed by this facility, actually ashamed my grandmother is at such a place.

I appreciated her diligence and the effort she put into my case. Old review : I had total knee replacement surgery. This company contacted me initially and we set up times. The RN came and she was Amazing! The PT came and he was great. What I have major issues with is I was supposed to be getting 3 sessions a week for two weeks minimum.. On my about to be third session , the PT said oh we don't have pre authorization. I wondered about this so I called. The company would not call me back. I called twice. I waited 7 hours and no follow up call. I called a third time around 3 in the afternoon . I finally got someone and they said, " Oh we don't have pre authorization." I said , "Then how did you guys send people to my house in the first place?" They still have not answered that question. I still should be having PT sessions , it was knee surgery, the Dr. office did send that over (I checked) , and still no services and no calls from this company when I should be having therapy. Knee surgery is a difficult surgery mentally and emotionally, and to have to deal with this is unacceptable. I rated the company a 1 only because I really liked the PT and OT. Their management , scheduling , return calls needs to be improved.

READ THIS REVIEW!!!! Best place for your parents! Hands…read moredown! My parents have been at The Forum for years. They started out in IL (independent living) and 3 years ago we lost Dad and Mom moved into DL (dependent living). All buildings are connected so Mom gets to see old friends at Sunday Brunch. (She is 93 now.) She has made many new friends in the DL building who are charming and so nice to her. I'm writing this because over the last 5-6 months I've been joining Mom for Happy Hour and have gotten to know her friends. I can't tell you how many stories I hear them share about other facilities in Dallas (Austin and Houston too) about how bad the food is and how they themselves (or friends) are ignored and not cared for. They told be several times that when they tell people how awesome everything is at The Forum... their friends don't believe it!! LOL, LOL. Well... it's true! Yes, I confess I take Mom to Sunday Brunch so I can get one of the best omelets in Dallas (in the IL building) and the rest of the food is so nice. My sisters take guests and we always celebrate birthdays and holidays at Sunday Brunch. Enough about that. Let's get to the brass tacks. The staff is probably the best I've ever encountered. If I'm with Mon and she has an ache and needs some Tylenol, I call the front desk and the nurse brings it to her within 15 min or so. VERY RESPONSIVE!! (Abbey is so awesome!) Mom has a Help Watch on her arm and can press the button and help comes immediately. As well, the staff will call me with every incident (like sliding out of her chair, etc.) Major or minor - they update the family immediately. AWESOME! Ok. So you are looking for a place for your parents. Absolutely check out The Forum. Have frank and direct conversations with the staff who show you around (and see if you can pay to sample the Sunday Buffet!!) Our family has so much peace knowing even the cleaning people care about a quality job and if they observe anything that needs attention - they alert the right people. I personally feel indebted to The Forum. THANK YOU ALL FOR TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF MY MOM!!!!!!
