Colonial Oaks Senior Living

The staff always keeps me informed how my mom is doing.

It's very clean, and the staff is wonderful. I looked at a lot of different places, and they are right in line with everyone else, pretty competitive for pricing. They are very attentive and responsive. They have activity people during the day to help people with everything. There are definitely more ladies than men here. They are really good with medications, and monitoring that. I have eaten with him, and I wasn't impressed, it was kind of bland. Overall the food is adequate, but it's nothing to write home about. I think it's been a pretty good experience.

So far they've done a great job at Autumn Leaves of Arlington! It's a nice looking, clean community, and the staff are all very friendly. They seem really on top of things and take great care of their residents! I've heard from my loved one that the food is very good, as well!

I visited several memory care facilities in Arlington TX and chose Autumn Leaves. The ratio of residents to care givers is good and care givers are so good to my loved one there. Placing my loved one in a memory care center was THE HARDEST decision I have ever had to make. The staff at Autumn Leaves of Arlington walked me through everything and was right there with me for everything. My loved one has been there about 1-1/2 years and I'm still so pleased I found Autumn Leaves. They take excellent care of my loved one.

They’re top notch! They were very caring and they took care of my parents very well. I ate there several times and it was usually pretty good, but there were occasions where it wasn’t as good, but it was never bad. It’s a great environment with good staff.

It is immaculate. I want to give them five, five, five, fives all the way down. I really appreciate the way they care for the residents. They treat them respectfully. They go out of their way to reassure them. They don’t argue with them, bug comfort them. I’m thrilled with the place. I’ve been there several times and the food looked wonderful. It’s all home cooked. There is a hair stylist in there! My mother is dressed every day!

The staff here is very caring and patient. The nurses are attentive and do whatever they can to make sure that the residents receive any needed medical or dental care. The office staff goes above and beyond to stay in contact with family members and let them know if your loved one needs anything. They have an excellent geriatrician that visits regularly, a podiatrist comes quarterly, and a dentist will also come to the facility to treat the residents. The food is very good, and the caregivers make sure that the residents are clean and bathed.

This community was very nice looking! It was beautiful, and everyone we spoke with during our tour was very friendly. Unfortunately it was out of the price range that we were looking in, but I did recommend it to a friend who ended up placing their loved one here.

I love that it is a community. It's a small facility so the staff knows all the residents and it's very warm and friendly. She is has her own apartment but she uses assistance for various things like bathing and meals. She has a refrigerator and a sink but all the cooking is done in the main kitchen. My mom love the food! She doesn't really use the activities, but they have many. They have painting, bingo, exercise, etc.

We looked at this one and this one seemed pretty nice. Actually, the nurse that took us around, it was a guy and he really seemed to care and he really seemed to know and we liked the way he interacted with the people there. In an Alzheimer's unit that's got to be one of the hardest things but there were people coming up to him and knew his name; so he seemed very helpful and very caring. It seemed to be a clean place, he answered my questions and had good responses.

I don't have anything to compare them too. They were my first contact for the services tha I was really needing but I am very pleased with them and my wife, the recipient of their care, is very pleased. For what services I'm receiving I feel it's a very good value. I would say that their staff went way beyond expectations in terms of answering my questions and addressing the specific needs we had.

After excellent guidance from A Place for Mom, I toured four memory care facilities in Arlington. All were acceptable, but Autumn Leaves was exceptional. It's an uplifting environment, provides wonderful safe outdoor spaces, and is a good value. What really sold me though is the staff. They are knowledgeable, caring, fun, and very respectful of the people living there. I like everything about how they care for those entrusted to them and feel very fortunate that my dad is living there.

Initially I was expecting them to provide a bit more, which I now realize would be more of a nursing home level of care. They're more supervisory, and they help our loved one eat and things like that. As a memory care unit, they're really good at navigating emotional outbursts and things that occur with dementia. So for people with dementia who are up and about and just need a little bit of assistance, it's a good place.

My Mother in Law gets lots of TLC, and is well taken care of here. The people who work there, from the director to all of the Care Team, are truly great people with big hearts. If the food were a little healthier, I would give 5 stars! (The variety of food offered is great, and they are adding more fresh fruit and vegetables. It is improving.) The activities for fun are good, which is so important at this time of the Quarantine, when the residents cannot readily leave for family activities! In this time of uncertainty, I am glad she is there and safe.

Mom has lived there since Dec 2018 and has been VERY pleased. The building is relatively new (2016, I believe), and well maintained. The staff is really good, and hats-off to whoever does the hiring, because they are all very competent and dedicated. I can only speak of the non-memory care side, but the Activity Director is phenomenal! She always goes the extra-mile for the residents, and is one of those "lead-by-example" types who inspire the others. I can say the same for their Executive Director, who I've seen carrying back empty food trays, washing resident's hair (during the pandemic), etc. The food is above average, and they're attentive to special dietary needs. My only gripe is that they seem to have raised the price of evening meals for visitors from $5 to $9 (a moot point during the pandemic, but will soon matter). I've seen other facilities take a loss for visitor meals to encourage visitors... I think $9 is a bad decision from corporate! In all fairness, lunch is cheaper, but not as many family members can make lunch.

It has been a wonderful environment for my father. While we hoped he would have been able to live in assisted living for some time, the staff recognized and informed us that he needed a far better level of care that they could offer through memory care. The fact that they were watching out for him and have continued to do so day in and day out is incredibly reassuring for family. I have no concerns or reservations with the care that they provide and the love and attention they truly exhibit for the residents. Even through the stress of the pandemic, I have never worried that he wasn’t in the best care possible! Love everyone at Colonial Oaks from the front desk to the support staff to the leadership on campus!

They have really caring staff but they can be hard to get a hold of. Once the community switched nurses, everything was great. Due to varying tastes, I recommend you have a sample meal and try the food for yourself. We chose this community for its location, affordability, availability of the floor plan, and was the place my dad liked the best.

[Name removed], Executive Director of Autumn Leaves in Rockwall has been very helpful and a constant in my Dad's transition. We communicate often and she has always been available and understanding, as this is not only a new experience for my Dad, but for me as well. Everyone at this facility are very friendly and helpful. I feel very secure in the fact my Dad is receiving the care he needs at Autumn Leaves.

We first toured Autumn Leaves in September, 2017, anticipating the need for my mother in law. We were very pleased with the friendly staff, openness, sun lit rooms, attentiveness of the staff to the residents, the pleasant aroma, and the many activities. Mother became a resident at the end of 2017. [Removed] has been and continues to be of utmost help. She has even taken time off on several days of her vacation to do the input for Mother and to take pictures to send to us. Patti definitely goes above and beyond! And she is a lovely person to work with! We are eager to get to visit with Mother this month. We have received regular communication and pictures indicating she is resting well, eating well, and participating in activities. Our desire was for Mother's life to be enhanced with this move and we believe God has answered those prayers with a big YES. We are grateful for this facility, the philosophy, and the staff.

Great facility in quiet setting with caring staff.
