We had a great tour with Brookdale Shadowlake. The activities director that we spoke with was amazing, she treated all of the residents like they are her own parents and seemed so engaged. She said that she gets there early every morning to go around and see how everyone is doing. The only reason we did not choose this facility was due to the location.

Out of all of the Brookdale facilities in the area that we toured, this one was the most impressive to us. It had a very pretty ambiance and it was updated. The only downfall was it was built in a big square so that felt a little more institutional to us.

It felt like the sales said one thing and then we got there and it was different. The people that I know are going to be with my loved one and caring for my loved one is the ones I want to get close to. With the staff shortage right now I think there is a struggle with care. I did not feel like all things were up front. Also it was important for me to meet the director and the person that I would be working with everyday. It was a great tours and a lot of knowledge but everything was flashy and appeared to be more than what was actually offered.

Highly recommend

We chose Casa Felicitas because when I went through my walkthrough it looked friendly and clean and it seemed like they were taking great care of the residents who lived there. I was not here for many meals and did not try the food, but they always smelled and looked great. I would recommend them to others looking.

Brookdale Lewisville did a great job of showing us the facility, and they appeared to be taking good care of their patients. Another place that we chose just had more space, larger rooms, and more of a semblance of privacy.

A place for Mom that will give you peace of mind.

Overall, it's very acceptable. Nothing is perfect, but I feel like I'm able to bridge any little gaps between what they don't do. They're very friendly. They know me, and they call me and keep me in the loop. They get to know their residents as well. They're a little short-staffed, but recently I saw the Executive Director cooking breakfast, which shows a willingness to get in there and do what needs to be done. The food is really good. All this type of care is expensive, but I think it's a good value here.

Residential Care Home
November 23, 2021

After relocating loved one from 2 homes during the Pandemic, due to lack of staff for physical disability care requirements. I discovered Casa Felicitas thanks to the referral & interview scheduled by A Place For Mom. I toured Casa Felicitas and was grateful to know that the facility offered ADA Roll-In showers & bathrooms for the physically disabled and they employed trained staff 24/7. The environment was pleasant and beautiful with outdoor patios for visitors & residents and beautiful outdoor setting of trees and flowers. Overall the safety protocols practiced for residents, staff & visitors made me feel assured this is the place to relocate my loved one. I met with owner, [name removed], BA, BSN, RN, Certified Assisted Living Manager, for interview and toured Casa Felicitas. My loved one was welcomed and enjoyed Casa Felicitas through her life time. Thank You A Place for Mom & Casa Felicitas

My Review of Bulverde Assisted Living

Nutritious menu, timely service, very infrequent delays, need more support exercise machines for elderly for strength, and mobility, clean rooms and facilities always clean. Staff is the most important, they're very kind, courteous, do not delay in one on one assists. Meds dispensed in a timely manner, residents are very friendly.

Home and Family Atmosphere

My mom lived at Brookdale South for over 5 years and it truly was somewhere she felt loved and valued. She suffered from dementia and the staff were always respectful, caring and understanding. It was a family atmosphere in which she always felt secure. Many of the staff have worked there for over seven years and during the COVID lockdown I never worried about her because I always felt confident that the staff and management there were working hard to keep her as safe as they possibly could, as well as providing protection for visiting family members as society started opening back up.

My Experiences at Brookdale San Marcos South

I would like to share about my family's experiences with Brookdale San Marcos South thus far. My sister and I had to make the hard decision to move our Dad into assisted living last summer, pretty much against his will. It was difficult. Brookdale made the transition easier for us, even though it was a strange and hard time for our Dad as he lost much of his independence. Currently our Dad is still in Brookdale, but now under hospice care. The care he receives is wonderful. The care he was receiving just as a resident was very good, and they continued to increase his care as his needs are increasing in intensity. Now he is reaching the end of his life, and the hospice care he is receiving is amazing. Between the Director, the nurses, the caregivers, the cleaning crew, the caregivers, the wonderful receptionist and every other employee on campus go out of their way to care for the residents. If you make a decision to place your loved one at Brookdale you will be very happy
