"We toured Villa South Assisted Living & Memory Care. I like that they were friendly and kind of explained everything to us. They walked us through the facility and gave us different options for our parents, both separated living on the different assisted side or in the memory care. They described everything as a well-kept facility. They have plenty of activities scheduled for the residents to utilize. At the end, when we discussed the funding and its cost, they were able to work in different ways to make it more feasible to do."

"The lady I met at The Viera Senior Living was very lovely, very nice, and sweet. She showed us different rooms. There was a one-bedroom, a two-bedroom, and an efficiency bedroom. It's nice, but it's too expensive. I like that you have the carport right in front of your apartment. They have a little outdoor living space where you can sit outside, like a patio. The staff was great. It was happy hour when we went there, where we could socialize with the other residents, and we could have some wine, crackers, or sandwiches."

"I stayed at Brookdale from March 31- April 25, for recovery and therapy reasons. The room was spacious as well as the bathroom, plenty of room to maneuver with the condition I was in. The air conditioner was putting out a steady 72 degrees to keep me from the dreadful Texas heat that we all love. The room was cleaned daily whether or not needed by the friendly attendants. The food was top notch with health in mind for sure, menu to choose from prior to the day delivered, portions were filling, you will know the difference in your health, as your wellbeing and thinking will change. The staff truly care about you, each morning at least 2 supervisors dropped by just to say good morning, all personnel that were assigned to me were polite, kind, caring and truly think about making your recovery comfortable. The therapy personnel make your recovery tolerable and to your ability, but the only easy day was yesterday, you are there for recovery and I am grateful to them for helping me improve. To all the personnel I came into contact with at Brookdale Trinity Towers Corpus Thank You I treasure meeting you all. Brent S."

"Garden Estates of Corpus Christi is my choice. I moved in a month ago. It's close to family here, and they're nice people, both the staff and residents. They have nice apartments, too. Upkeep is very good. If something goes wrong in your apartment, they're right there to fix it. There are several libraries. They have physical therapy, occupational therapy, and they have a bus to take people to and from appointments and shopping. There are three meals a day. The food is good except for the evening meal, which is usually pretty bad. There are a lot of activities, and I can't even name them all. There are cards, billiards, movies, and a lot of stuff like that. It's the best value in this area."

"My mother lives in Mirador Retirement Community, so I'm there a lot. Her experience is very positive, that's what's probably causing her concern about moving. It has all the levels. It has memory, assisted, independent, and skilled nursing. She was in their skilled nursing before while she recovered from hospital stays. If someone calls for help, e.g., maintenance help, they're there in two seconds. She's in independent. She and her friends are not happy with the food, and that's coming from my mother. There's not a lot of flavor. Her room is gorgeous, huge, and very nice. The have a committee that actually has residents on it with the independent home staff to get the views of the residents, and they try to listen to what they need or want. They just changed ownership about two years ago, so I think they're still going through that shift in ownership. Except for the food issue, everything else is fabulous. It's expensive, but so are all these. It was expensive to move in, but I don't know what their new deals are now. My parents bought into it when it was just being built."

"Trisun holds about 25 people and has a very cheerful and warm atmosphere. They have all their meals in the common dining room, but I think they can have them in their rooms too, as they have kitchenettes if they want to fix something themselves. There are quite a few activities, especially for the women. They have makeup techniques, they play dominos and checkers, they have a walkers group, they have church service on Wednesdays, I believe, and they have Catholic communion on Sundays. Everyone is quite friendly. The cleanliness is first rate. The staff is very friendly and caring. "

"Have a younger brother that was a patient for physical therapy at River Ridge for 2 weeks. He is blind, diabetic and on dialysis. The caretakers were exceptional. They checked on him several times a day. Since there were no phones in the rooms we got him an iPhone. We programed all of his phone numbers in it so he could call his friends and family. He would use Siri and we had it programmed to answer after 4 seconds. He was having trouble with it the second day. He must have touched the screen and messed it up. He was telling a gentleman in his physical therapy about it and he took a look at it and fixed it for him. Now you may not think thats a big deal but to a blind person it meant the world. They came to him and said he was being discharged in 3 days. Oh boy now im stressed out. I needed to find him transportation to and from dialysis, home health and a couple of other things. On th day before he was to be discharged Christina called me and said....I have everything set up for you...his transportation, home health and everything else. I told her WOW you just took a 2 ton block off my shoulders. All of the staff were just great. Thanks for all you do RiverRidge."
