Pegasus Senior Living, LLC

This is a good independent living option with 'bridge' care options for their memory care. Very affordable. Most of the staff have been with the facility for 10yrs plus. Residents seem very happy here, and the staff do interact a lot with the residents. This one is at the top of my list for consideration. It is an older facility, but with the new corporate ownership, there are some 'facelifts' in the works which are need and will be nice upon completion. I felt very comfortable in this place.

This is a good assisted living option. Facility is new. Residents are grouped into specific 'houses'. The common areas are large and open, but in carpeted, so they are loud (not so great for people with hearing aides). Rooms are studio-type only -- where the bed and living area are all in the same room. Kitchen is part of the common area. This looks like a really nice place if you are looking for more 'attentive' senior living (assisted in nature).

I toured this facility and it was good. The cleanliness seemed fine, but there was a little bit of an odor. There wasn’t a lot of activity going on either and when we walked in the residents were just sitting around. Though, it was almost time for them to sit down to eat so that might’ve been why. We heard one of the caregivers yelling at one of the residents in the dining room and that ultimately just put a bad taste in our mouth. However, the person that gave us the tour was from corporate and they seemed knowledgeable about the facility.

I toured this facility when looking for a place for my parents. It was more like an apartment building than a community. I wasn’t that impressed with it. The outside area was lacking a lot and everything seemed to be geared more towards doing things inside. It’s a brand new facility, though, so it’s very clean and looks nice. The person that gave us the tour was able to answer all of our questions and they seemed knowledgeable about the facility and what they had to offer.

I decided to tour this facility because they have a memory care unit which is what my Wife needs. Upon arriving, I notice that the unit is much smaller than other facilities and they don’t really have room for my wife to walk around. They do offer a lot of activities and all of the staff members are very nice. If I brought my wife here, I would be able to walk her around the facility as long as she was with me. While I’m not there she would, unfortunately, have to be locked in the memory care unit. The facility itself looks very good and it would have been a good choice, but it just wasn’t big enough. I would recommend other families to look at this facility.

Overall, I feel that Brookdale is a nice community. It's a good, social place for the residents, and I feel my mother is doing really well there. She is making an effort to go outside and to socialize with the other residents. However, I feel that the place needs some sprucing and updating. The paint is coming off in some places as well, and I feel that places like the ding room and community room need to be large to make navigation easier for walkers and wheelchairs. Maintenance also takes a very long time to fix issues. Aside from these issues, Brookdale is generally a very nice place.

Was a strong possibility. Very nice but not the best fit.

I toured here when looking for a place for my mom but she didn’t want to move in because there’s no independent living available, only assisted and skilled nursing. When I first walked in, the thing that stood out to me the most was the fact that they were so friendly and welcoming. They had flavored water that was available and they even had homemade granola. I know that the other residents that were there had more declining health issues, but while I was there they were all just kind of sitting around and seemed to be bummed out, they weren’t happy or anything. The staff seemed really nice and happy to be there, but it just wasn’t the place for my mom. However, this place would be perfect for someone who’s just coming out of the hospital or someone that needs constant supervision.

This property is great. I think that the staff team here is fairly competent and knowledgeable. For the most part it’s been a positive situation. My loved one residing there is not a big fan of the food. She most prefers to cook for herself. The cleanliness is good and there’s no bad odor in the facility. There is also lots of activities provided for the residents. There’s about maybe six to seven things happening every day such as knitting, movies, drives in the country, and days at the casino. I would recommend this property to families looking into options for their loved ones.

[Removed] and I visited on Saturday 11/25. We thought that it was a nice place. It's independent living. The apartments open to the outside and feels more like an apartment instead of a nursing home.

I toured here when looking for a place for my mom and I didn’t like it. It didn’t have the feel of a nice place. There wasn’t anything wrong with it but it seemed like there were a lot more people that weren’t as active and were more so sedentary. I felt an atmosphere of depression. However, the facility was kept clean from what I could see. The person that took me on the tour seemed knowledgeable and answered any questions as they came up.

I chose Brookdale West University because I wanted to be close to my job. Overall, I feel it has been a good experience, but I do feel there are some areas that could use improvement. I feel that that the food could be better, as sometimes, the meals are not so good. I also was hoping to find a place with more immediate medical help. There is an alarm system and a nurse on call, but I was hoping for more. I'm also not sure if the community has lifesaving equipment such as defibrillators or if the staff is trained to use them. I really do like the apartment they offered me. it's two one bedrooms joined together to make a two bedroom apartment. Overall, I feel that Brookdale is a good community, and I do appreciate its convenience.

I really like this facility. The people who work here are lovely and my Mother is enjoying the care. I know that she is safe here and they have a really good nursing staff. It's a very clean facility, but the only problem I have is with the food and staff. The food is always cold even if you go down to the cafeteria and eat. Then the staff, it seems like they have a hard time keeping employees. Don't get me wrong, all the staff members that are here are really nice. I just think the care is compromised and they are having a hard time with the staff to resident workload. I would recommend this community.

This is a larger community that what we wanted for my dad. It was nice and clean the staff answered all of my questions. They just didn't meet my needs. It was a 2 story building with dining room upstairs. We needed a type B facility for my dad's age (99). It was a bit more expensive as well.

I was touring different communities when I was trying to find a place for my parents to go because they needed to be moved from independent to assisted living. This facility is a bit older but the rooms are a decent size and are slightly bigger than some of the other facilities I've seen. They only have 1 bedrooms though, from what I was shown. Other than that, the staff seemed pretty nice.

I moved to Solana community on September 19th, the day they opened. Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to look over all aspects of the operation here. As I inspected the building, I was very pleased. My apartment is a beautiful one bedroom, bath and a half, study, laundry , large living area, large bedroom with walk in closet. Two sides of my apartment, located on the southeast corner of the building, on the fourth floor, are practically all windows. The facility includes lobby, bar, large dining room. Library , game room , theater, craft room , swimming pool, putting green, workout room, therapy room and salon. I believe the operation of this beautiful facility reflects the personality of the Executive Director. She is talented, a hard worker, very friendly and possesses a wonderful personality, a great communicator and very experienced in operating a Senior Living Community. The employees in all areas seem to be well trained. When my wife passed away, it was necessary for me to move to a senior care facility. I have found my home at Solana Preserve.

A bright and (one) year old residence where all types of people come together and join the social and Happy Hour fun. The staff are helpful and ready to assist the residence needs. I see many changes this 1st year at The Solana and they seem to be trying to make the residents quite comfortable.

Great community in West El Paso. Lots of activities for my uncle to do. Beautiful, clean, still smells new.

Toured with [Removed]. Lovely grounds. Apts are dated, but can be upgraded. 95% full. There was a one bedroom on 1st floor available, we asked for an estimate to upgrade.

We had to place my wife in this community and she loves it here. The caregivers are nice and caring. It stays clean and tidy. The grounds stay maintained. She feels safe here. The food is great and all the activities are wonderful such as bingo and painting.
