True Connection Communities

Outstanding in all ways. Solid original construction in a beautiful green setting, carefully maintained. Attentive, caring staff with a low turnover. Management company and owners are local, a plus if you have ever dealt with a national company that is investor-oriented. Community of friendly people support a social atmosphere that is very positive. Transportation is scheduled for all needs, and there is ample parking for drivers. Apartments have nice kitchens for independent living, with lunch meals at center and frequent activities with food. Extensive and varied activities. Many residents use walkers or wheelchairs; aging in place is handled through home health services. My son's family from far away loved staying here in a guest room for a summer visit. A happy place.

Our parents moved to Meadowstone Place about 5 years ago. My siblings and I researched many places in the North Dallas area. What appealed to our entire family most is that, even though these are apartments, the minute you see one of the units, you realize that these are homes in a lovely neighborhood full of trees. The units each have a front and back door and a fenced patio. Our Mom loves to keep plants and flowers all year long so this is perfect for her and she can see them from her kitchen. There are activities for every kind of interest and you can participate as little or as much as you would like. Even after we lost Dad, Mom would not think of moving anywhere else. Actually, the staff makes Meadowstone Place what it is. It is apparent that they love what they do. The care and thoughtfulness in all they do is outstanding. We love visiting Mom and the staff know us all by name . We like to think of them as an extension of our family. We know she is safe there and we appreciate that there is an active Dallas Police Officer that always lives on the premises. We could not be more pleased to have our Mom living in Meadowstone Place.

Residents are very friendly and welcoming. Many activities on and off the property in which to participate if one chooses. Very large, quiet apartments. Staff is especially helpful and prompt to answer questions, concerns or take care of problems. Committees for all kinds of interests and a resident council allowing for input. Location is within 2 miles of several different grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants. Convenient to downtown Dallas and all major highways. So happy to have found this gem.

Villas is a good community for independent active people. The staff are wonderful and answered our questions. There is a small store that is run by the residents. This community is a renovated hotel. Unfortunately, it was not a good fit for my loved one. There is an independent in home agency there and I was not impressed with their communication.

Villas of Shelby wasn't out first pick but we looked at numerous places and this one is pretty good. They have a wide range of activities. My parents haven't participated in them yet but I really hope they do in the future. The staff is very friendly and caring here. Overall we are pleased.

I was so impressed with all the wonderful rooms to assist the residents enjoy their new home. The staff has been there for a number of years, and that speaks greatly about the degree of happiness exhibited by those who live here. Brightness, cleanliness, and upkeep as well as activities are assets. It was a pleasure to meet the staff. Kathy

I could not have asked for more compassionate and helpful people than at Preston Place. Moving my parents who are in their mid-eighties was going to be tramadic enough since they were coming from another state and from a 3 bedroom house to a 650 sq ft. apartment. However, everyone at Preston Place has made them feel at home and have been so helpful in their transition.

Mom has only been a resident for one week and has participated in more activities than in the last 4 years (involving exercise). So far, everything has exceeded expectations. Thank you Lynette and Lisa for support!

We have been pretty happy with al the experience we have had. People are very helpful and accommodating and loved is happy at facility.

We helped our mother move in to Parc Place last month. Her apartment is wonderful - lots of windows, natural light, open and airy. Her unit has a great deal of room for a one-bedroom, plus good storage space. The staff at Parc Place has been truly caring and helpful. They have treated Mom as part of a "family" of residents. We could not be happier with our choice of this retirement community; we feel it is the perfect fit for our mom.

I think they do a great job overall at Pine Ridge Retirement! The facility itself looks very nice. It is clean, and very nicely decorated without feeling "overdone", it has a very comfortable feel. The staff are all very friendly as well. They also do a good job with the food here, we've had a few meals here and enjoyed them.

On two previous independent visits to Verena at the Reserve I was so impressed by the residents and the staff. Then when my father recently asked about senior living options in Williamsburg, I suggested he look at Verena. Barbara Bane gave us a super tour and has been very helpful as we plan his transition to an apartment. Verena at the Reserve is a lovely facility and the residents are very friendly and the food is delicious. Very excited with my dad's choice!

My mom moved into Preston Place almost 18 months ago. She is very happy and stays very active! The staff is always available to answer questions and give her the support she needs. As her daughter, I can't imagine a better place for my mom. I feel confident that the staff looks out for her and has her best interest at heart. The activities are outstanding and very diverse. Mom always is eager to sign up for bingo, entertainment at the Veranda and line dancing with Jill is one of mom's favorite activities! My mom does cook for herself and although she doesn't eat at the Veranda, the cooks provide wonderful snacks and treats for the different events held there! We are concerned about the cost and we hope that mom will be able to live as long as she's able in her beautiful apartment! Mom is a young almost 85 and lives independently! We love Preston Place!

We've had a great experience at Villas of Shelby so far! The staff are all very friendly, and they're very accommodating when it comes to any requests or assistance you need! They've got a good variety of activities, and they've been putting in a lot of effort to improve them further. We're very happy with this place, and would recommend it to others who are looking!

It has only been a month since my Mom has moved from NYC to Preston Place and I am so happy to see how the community (residents and staff) have welcomed her. We are so happy with her apartment and the help we received to get her settled in. She has already volunteered to help in certain areas; has participated in various activities; has been invited to church and other activities in the neighborhood by her new friends. She did not keep her car yet is very happy with the transportation Preston Place provides to make doctor appointments and do some shopping. My brother and I feel very confident our mother will enjoy her time at Preston and we enjoy visiting her and meeting her neighbors.

My Dad has been living at Pine Ridge for the past three years. He has a beautiful apartment with a patio on the courtyard and he really enjoys it. At first, he had a hard time getting used to living in a senior community, but the entire staff made him feel very welcome and introduced him to other people. They really take an interest in him and that made him feel very welcome. He thinks the food is very good and he is very busy being social. We looked at many places and this is the best.

We have been pleasently suprised so far. Meadow Stone was not actually on the radar when we started looking for an apartment for my mother, "A Place for Mom" was very helpful in getting us to the Arena of our level of services that we were looking for. The staff here has been just wonderful, any issues that have arisen have been promptly addressed.

My mother was reluctant to move into assisted living. After only two days, she is VERY CONTENT at Pine Ridge. The staff is wonderful. Everyone is friendly and willing to do anything to make our family happy. My mother is anxious for her friends to visit and see how nice Pine Ridge is.

My wife and I had to downgrade from a 3 bedroom house with a basement & a 2 car garage, to a 2 room apartment. But as good troopers-we have adapted & will survive. The facility has become "home" much easier that I thought it would. Much of that comes from the staff from every part of the facility, office, kitchen, maintenence. About 3 weeks ago I turned in a short list of items that needed some attention and within 2 days all was done neatly. Thank you. Virginia and I are happy so far & we are not expecting a big change in that regard.

This is a very nice affordable community with lots to offer seniors. My Mother has only been moved in for a little over a week, but the experience has been postivie so far. She has made many new friends, and is staying very busy with all of the planned activities. (She is a social one, so it suits her well!) The staff is very friendly and helpful, as well. I believe we made the right decision.
