My mother was 98 years old, had dementia and was no longer able to live with us. We selected Precious because of their smaller size and more personal care.

My mother was always kept clean and if she did not feel like eating at the table with the others, they would bring her food to her in her room and she could set in her chair and eat from her tray. I would highly recommend Precious Group Home Care. Don Anweiler, Round Rock, Texas

They also have "armchair astronomy" classes and various lectures. The staff are caring, pleasant, and helpful. Dawn and Ralph, the managers, do a great job. I'm so glad we found this place.

The family owned and operated business is unique in that residents are treated like extended family. Their combined experience is extensive and is shown on a daily basis by their excellent care and compassion. The meals that are served are completely homemade, healthy and nutritious; you won't find processed foods here. Whole foods with protein, vegetables and fruits are on the daily menu. I came to learn that the owner, Zalina, built this facility from the ground up nearly 30 years ago. It's no accident that Shenandoah Villas has been in business for that many years.

Meals were fine and staff so inattentative they allowed a client to eat with her fingers when a spoon would have been helpful. Staff expects family to get prescriptions in one day, because of lack of planning by Shenandoah, and have no comprehension that on line prescriptions are significantly cheaper for the family but take more than one day to receive. Staff protests when family members request a list of medications to order, things to get, etc. At times family members are treated as employees of Shenandoah. Staff seldom holds doors open for family members moving clients in a wheelchair and never helps family members get clients into and out of a vehicle. There are no religious services, group activities, daily exercises, hair stylists or someone to do nails and pedicures for their clients. Staff fussed at a woman who had a stroke because she couldn't hold her head upright. There is no evidence the staff has had any formal medical training and neither the staff or visiting Dr spotted a facial cancer. Socialization is not encouraged and clients are directed to go to their rooms after meals. There no DVR in the room of facility for clients to watch old time TV and shows. Chairs were placed in front of one of three exits because of a wandering Alzheimer's client. Fortunately the chairs were finally removed before any emergency occured. Senior management of this fiefdom is by a loud, dictatorial, power hungry, bossy would be warden. Absolutely no way this place deserves a 5*rating.

My father arrived at Aria Memory Care in April 2015. He has been struggling with Parkinson's and…read morewas in the beginning stages of Alzheimer and Dementia. He was also recovering from a broken hip and was using a walker. Aria had the safest facilities for my father to move around. The common areas have wood floors and less clutter than other communities. I felt my father was safe. My father enjoyed being able to enjoy the out side on his own with access to their courtyard. Not all communities are set up where your loved ones can enjoy outdoors when they want to. The Facility Manager was very helpful in helping set up my fathers room as well as hanging pictures. Since my father was an engineer, the Facilities Manager took the time to have many great conversations with my father. It is great that Aria is dedicated to Memory Care. They know how to take care of all levels. The separation of cognitive and non cognitive guests is priceless. My father was able to have conversations with other guests with similar challenges. Having a loved one in a home is all ways difficult but when you arrive at Aria you really do not feel you are in a nursing home. It helped me when I was visiting my father. Last but not least the Executive Director Ceri Mackenzie is there for you and your loved ones 24 hours. I have seen this first hand. She was there for helping me manage my fathers needs. Her experience and knowledge comes in handy as anything can happen any time when you are taking care of our elders. The team reacts positively to Ceri's experience and enthusiasm. To sum it up, Aria is a gem in senior community. It offers clean, safe, easy to navigate common area floor plan, spacious individual units and a lovely courtyard to enhance for my father's daily experience. Mostly importantly, the team members are friendly, caring and do not hesitate to come to aide whenever the unexpected need rises. My father actually thrived and showed improvement in matter of weeks under their care. . I have had other family members in Brookdale, Sunrise and, and Emeritus. Aria Memory Care is superior above all other communities. I would recommend Aria to any of my close friends and family.

Our Mom was my Dad's primary caregiver prior to her unexpected death so this transition has been very difficult. I chose Aria because the staff were all very caring friendly, the facility is very clean and modern, and the apartment/room was a nice size and well laid out to match, as closely as possible, my Dad's bedroom at home. My Dad has only been there 2 months but I still feel very confident I have made the right decision with Aria. Ceri Mackenzie is the medical director and she is very patient with the family and also with our Dad. She is knowledgeable and shares that knowledge to make us more comfortable with the transition. The nursing staff and aides have all been very friendly to Dad - especially Kristin, Melissa, Brandon and Jeannette - but they have all been wonderful.

We…read morestarted with assisted living, then moved to memory care, but after ownership changes, the quality never felt the same. That's when I discovered Tran's Senior Oasis--and everything changed. From the moment we arrived, I knew TSO was different. Dr. Tran and her staff aren't just caregivers; they are family. They treat every resident with love, respect, and dignity. Many of the staff have been with TSO for over 10 years, which says everything about the culture of consistency and compassion. Dr. Tran is a very involved owner--she doesn't just manage from a distance, she knows every resident, every family, and is always attentive to their needs. That level of dedication gave me something priceless: peace of mind. As my mother's journey came to its final stages, the partnership with Altus Hospice made all the difference. Dr. Tran and the hospice team worked seamlessly together, surrounding my mother--and our entire family--with kindness, compassion, and comfort. They supported us through each step, ensuring my mother's last days were filled with dignity and peace. My mother spent her later years at TSO surrounded by kindness, stability, and genuine care. For any family searching for a place where their loved one will not only be cared for, but truly cherished, I cannot recommend Tran's Senior Oasis enough.

My mother in law has been there for only 6 months. Shortly after admitting her, we noticed that my mother in law was not bathed with very greasy hair, full and leaking diapers, feces on the toilet, etc. They said they were showering her but the amount of shampoo in the bottle we provided has hardly moved. Her room was a mess with feces never cleaned up (the smell was atrocious). She never had sheets on her bed, etc. We reported these issues to the director, Nathan, on 5/21/19 and as you can see from pictures taken 5/25/19, these issues were not resolved. This facility is unsafe. Just yesteday, I saw an unattended spill with a patient walking right by it. This facility is not properly staffed (1 staff for approx 20 patients after business hours). The director, Nathan, is a single point of failure for the facility and is in the wrong line of work. He should not be around the elderly and should not be the face of this facility. He has made alzheimers seem like a cake walk in comparison to how Harmony Point has treated both my mother in law and our family. My husband and I have medical power of attorney for my mother in law. Harmony Point has had their physician see my mother in law on at least 8 occasions without our knowledge and has also prescribed her 3 additional medications without our knowledge or approval. When one of these medications we did not know about was running out, Nathan called Family Protective Services on my husband and I for neglect - while we were on vacation. Yes, you read that correctly - the facility we pay $4k a month to care for my husband's mom has called FPS on us due to an RX running out that they never even had permission to give her in the first place. Nathan has outright lied to us in every conversation we have had with him and also blames the symptoms of Alzheimers on the patient and their family. They told us all the right things when we admitted her to the facility. Ever since, it has been a complete nightmare. We are moving her out of there asap and reporting to the state. This place needs to be shut down. I will write a much longer, detailed review at a later time. Update 9/23/19: hi Kate, nice to hear from you. Corporate was supposed to call us on 9/13 to follow up with next steps for my mother in law - still nothing. Just today, Jason called Nathan who told him our call with corporate would be tomorrow 9/24...which is laughable at this point. On 9/20, Nathan gave a paper full of lies about our family with a straight face. The letter also stated that you have been charging us $25/hr around the clock for a 1:1 care that we never were communicated about. I am reporting this facility for multiple issues including fraudulant charges. The only communication we have had is from us calling harmony point. Harmony point is a nightmare. Read your other reviews on here for reference and maybe do something about your main problem: Nathan. I have recordings and detailed documentation from all communications, so keep that in mind in your next response.

We were extremely fortunate to find this facility to care for our mother, whose decline in balance…read moreand memory required her to be in assisted living. After a very extensive search of the available facilities in the Leander and North Austin area, with visits to many of them, it was clear to us that Riva Ridge was by far the best choice. Given its small size, at the time of our interest there were no available rooms, so we asked to be put on the waiting list. The wait was well worth it. After moving there, our mother in a short period of time became accustomed to her new surroundings and the homey environment of the place, which is in stark contrast to the crowded-hospital feel of many facilities. Ken Missler is a hands-on owner of the place, and he and his staff are caring and compassionate while maintaining their professionalism in the day-to-day care. The range of residents' issues and capabilities is wide, and the staff engage the residents in games and art, etc., to the extent of the residents' capabilities. Visitation is essentially unlimited, though it was limited for a time during the pandemic in accordance with statewide COVID restrictions. The availability of both assisted living and memory care, performed in adjacent buildings, along with the availability of hospice care, are useful combined features of the facility that are not commonly found elsewhere. My very favorably view of Riva Ridge has been corroborated by others. My wife, as part of her church's visitation outreach to home-bound seniors, has visited many assisted living places in Leander and Austin. None has come close to the homey and comfortable environment of Riva Ridge. Once, when I was visiting my mother at Riva Ridge, I met a former nurse who was looking for a facility for her disabled husband, after removing him from another assisted living place that was not adequately caring for him. Having experience in these matters, given her occupation, and having looked at several possibilities, she told me she was very impressed with Riva Ridge and wanted to place her husband there as soon as possible. Our mother was at Riva Ridge for two and a half years as her health declined, the last six months in hospice care before she passed away peacefully in her sleep. She was taken care of, looked after, engaged with friendly and caring people. I thank Ken and his staff for taking such good care of her, and I unreservedly recommend Riva Ridge to others who need to find a place for their loved ones that require compassionate, professional care.
