I am writing this review at the request of my mother, Joan, who has lived at CC Young for many…read moreyears. She LOVES it there and tells me so every day. Although she is VERY happy with all aspects of where she lives (residence, food, activities, maintenance, technology help, classes, field trips) she wanted me to put up a review about a few special people who not only do their job with skill, but also caring and grace. A big high five to Daniela Mora in Conley restaurant. She knows everyone by name and greets all with a big smile - she seems to keep the restaurant running like a top (as least as far as residents can see!) and the food is always served hot and well-presented. Mom thinks she is the best she's the best Conley has every had! Dani is kind and patient and helps everyone! Second is Brandon in IT (I don't know his last name - sorry). Talk about a problem solver! No question is too hard or too simple. Brandon stays with a problem until he figures it out for you. Last is Kevin Nelson - the porter at the Point. Kevin magically makes every event, class, discussion group seem to be set up and taken down with just the right room arrangement in incredibly timely manner. It's amazing how many different "take downs and put ups" he does in one day. He is friendly and always speaks to everyone. He keeps everything clean and fresh - including the gym and class rooms. Mom thinks he's a gem. These are just a few of the amazing people who make CC Young work so well - In my mom's eyes, it's a great place to live and from the outside - I definitely agree!

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

All country club decor (one the first floor) but horrible care and no soul. We have been there…read moresince February now moving to a better facility. All about sales and profit. A revolving door in terms of staffing....no continuity of care. No medical care to speak of....one doctor was under indictment and the other was apparently let go also. A Tradition employee stole my dad's car but luckily we recovered it after he had his way with it. No good programs and mediocre food. Could have been a dream...turned into a nightmare. If you need only minimal care and want to squander money, this is great for you. If you have more significant needs, go to a place with a better track record. Run, don't walk away from The Tradition.

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.

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.
