Asher Point Independent Living of Texarkana

Belinda

My loved one will be moving into Asher Point Independent Living of Texarkana. They were very kind, pleasant, and friendly. They have a small fridge and a microwave, but your meals are all included. The kitchen area is just a small kitchenette. If you choose not to have the outside area, you could choose a room that has a little bit bigger living area. There's a lot of pretty places that you can sit outside. That's the one my loved one chose so she could have a little more living area. The rooms were very nice sized. The bathrooms were very nice. The staff I met was very kind. She was thorough, pleasant, and friendly. I liked her.

What I liked best was that it is all-inclusive in the price, the meals, and the housekeeping. It was a nice place, too, for activities and stuff like that. They provide transportation to and from doctors and for groceries. It is for people who are still independent but need just extra help. The staff was very knowledgeable and very friendly. I had lunch there and the food was delicious. They offered live music. They also had an activity center, a library, and a good outside walking path.

It was a great place. It was lovely. The studio apartments were spacious. They had adequate room for senior living, but I think my brother needs more than just independent care. The woman was very knowledgeable and helpful. We went on a tour with her and she showed me all the amenities. It was very clean. The staff was very friendly and they have adequate amenities for independent living.

I had an in-person tour. I was very pleased with the tour and with the staff. The rooms were very spacious, and everything was very appealing. I was just looking more toward something like a duplex independent living instead of an apartment independent living. I saw an exercise area and a place where they could have games and shoot pool. The dining area was kind of like a restaurant setting. You sit down at a table, and they'll come give you a menu with a couple of different choices of items every day and bring it to your table.

My tour was good. They were welcoming, very nice, and friendly, and answered all our questions. The common spaces were clean, they were newly updated. The activity that I saw was they had a little doggie parade, which was really cute, and something that my mother personally would love. The dining area was very open, it was large, and it had a lot of natural sunlight, which I thought was great. It looked updated and they had a menu on hand that had a variety of choices. I did not sample any of the food but they provided me with some cookies when I left, and the cookies were delicious.

I loved it, and I wish my mom could have gone there. It had an at-home feeling. People seem to know each other, and when they're talking they would say, "I'm going home," and not, "I'm going to my room." The lady who gave me the tour showed me several one-bedrooms and a two-bedroom. The two-bedroom was huge compared to the other ones; I can compare it to a hotel. It had two spacious bedrooms, a big kitchen and living room, and two baths. For my mom, that's more than what she needed. They showed me their economy models, or their smallest ones, and they're OK. She also showed me a corner room with a balcony. The place was laid out in an L shape, and I loved it. I know my mom would love it; she could go out into the balcony, and it's up on the treetops because it's on the third floor. It's looking out over the backyard, which was park-like. They have people you can hire for assistance. They had people who could do your laundry and help you get dressed and undressed. They're like nursing people you could hire, and all of that is on top of the room rate. So if you needed more than just the regular service, you could get it. Everybody was very friendly, and the place looked immaculate. When we walked in, there was one resident who had something wrong with their air conditioning, and they got it checked on immediately. Apparently, they kept things up very well. The staff was friendly and helpful, and any questions I wanted to ask they were glad to answer. The lady who showed me the place has apparently been in the business for quite some time. She came out a few days later to see my mother at my mother's place, and she told him that that facility was not what she needed and that she needed more care than what they could do. She was out to do the best of her part. The building has been there for a while, but it looks brand new.
