The Commons at Dallas Ranch

The people at The Commons at Dallas Ranch are so extremely caring, everybody there knows our loved one by name and whenever we come to visit they know us by name. They are always engaging and interacting with her and with us. They do a really nice job of encouraging our loved one to get involved in activities such as their knitting group. We would definitely recommend this community to families based on our experience so far.

It's a safe environment. They are very personable and organized. You can tell they care about their residents. In the memory care area, the staff do a great job of keeping the residents engaged. I would recommend you go take a tours but take a few tours and do so during different times. You will get different experiences during different times. Weekdays have more staff that are there versus the weekends.

While my mother-in-law's stay was short, we couldn't have asked for kinder care givers, a cleaner facility, and more pleasant surroundings.

During the transitioning of my mom to The Commons at Dallas Ranch we experienced hiccups which caused me to question if I made the right choice. However, some of the staff went above and beyond to make things right and once my mom moved in I was convinced that The Commons was the right choice. The administration, dining crew, Med techs, and housekeeping staff are professional and take pride in their work as evidenced by the great outcomes. And they care for my mom in a kind and compassionate manner. My mom has shared with me that she is happy at The Commons and our family has shared with me that my mom seems much happier since moving into The Commons.

My frail mother insisted she was perfectly able to take care of herself at home. As long as my sister moved in with her and cooked, shopped, and cleaned on top of my sister working full time as a cardiac nurse. In spite of my sister's care, mother ended up in the ER from falls, dehydration, and adjusting her own meds. The dutiful daughter was exhausted. So our other sister and I decided to check out the assisted living facilities in the area. As soon as we saw the cleanliness of the Commons, drank their coffee, and toured a beautiful airy apartment, we knew it wouldn't be as hard a sell as we had feared. Mom moved much of her furniture into the two bedroom apartment and it became home. She's safe, well cared for, and well fed. Now she goes to scheduled medical appointments on the Commons shuttle. And now my sister takes her on picnics and birdwatching. Any negatives? Mom complains about the food. I eat it when I visit. I think it's very good. We should have done this earlier.

This is a different life than living in your own house and .being self sufficient. At first the other tenants were not very friendly but they came to trust us and we are now part of the regulars. It took some experiences to learn to accept that employees can pop into your apartment at any time. This has been especially true during our lock downs. We like our apartment and are very comfortable here. The most disappointing element is the food. It sustains life but won't win any awards. The ingredients are repetitive and often don't match what was described in the printed sheets given out.

I’m so grateful that I found a perfect home for my father. Not only because of the beautiful facility which reflects much forethought of resident needs, but especially for the caring, cheerful and thoughtful staff. You feel the warmth and of being welcomed from the time you walk into the lobby until the time when you check out. The meals that are prepared by the Blanca and her team are wonderful. They always have a wide variety of meals being served. I extremely happy that I found this place for my father in which he now considers home.

I researched 4 retirement communities and visited all 4. I spoke with staff and residents. After all the tours and sales pitches, I was most impressed with the Commons at Dallas Ranch and Melanie McCants. Her honesty, transparency, professionalism, and communication were unparalleled. The residents are well taken care of. The community is clean with an open design. The staff is very engaged and inclusive. And their meals choices are pretty good. My mother loves all the activities; the calendars make it easy for her to choose what and which activities to participate in. I feel very comfortable with my mother here. I would highly recommend this retirement community for loved ones.

It seems to me that the other residents are very friendly. The staff is very friendly as well, and overall it's a really welcoming place. The facility seems really nice, and it's kept clean. The dining area and all of the common areas look nice, and the living spaces are comfortable. Our loved one got a really nice haircut at the salon there, which she enjoyed.

Our families experience has been good so far, the community is very clean and well kept. The staff members are very lovely, the care takers are very lovely and are absolutely more then willing to work with you. We are just relieved our loved one is in a safe place.

Prior to COVID the activities were good, however now they are pretty much nonexistent. The rooms at this community are fine, and from what we have experience we think they serve good quality meals with a variety.

My parents have lived here for 8 months now. We are very happy with this place. There are several other couples as well. The staff are wonderful. My mom has said numerous times how nice and helpful all of the employees are, in all positions. The facility has done an excellent job keeping the residents safe during COVID. . We feel very comfortable with the steps they have taken. My parents have the two bedroom apartment. Large, spacious, light. Great layout. All in all, good choice.

The staff are wonderful. They took very good care of mother in law who had severe Alzheimer's and dementia and it wasn't just the staff in house it was also the management. They availed of themselves to my wife and I at all times of day and night Even on their days off. They answered their cell phone when we called with challenges or issues. It was a great experience. If I ever needed assisted living or memory care, I would move there, that's how much I like the facility, the people, and the food was very good, too.

The staff are very caring and patient both in the memory care and the assisted living. The rooms are set up for the residents skills and abilities. The activities are excellent. My mom and my uncle are both there now and are extremely happy. The food is good and before COVID, was served in restaurant style dining but now is delivered to the rooms. They community has managed to keep the residents safe, protected, and COVID free. I would recommend this community to other families.

We toured this facility and my mother made the decision to go there. I feel comfortable with my mother being there. She is a happy and so I am happy. The staff are outstanding. The care is from there heart. They are always smiling and you can feel it. I just think its wonderful and I can't say anything bad at the place. I looked at many facilities, but they were exactly what we wanted.

Beautiful remodel! Had a great tour with [name removed], Directory of Sales--very personable and provided a lot of info. No pool, but a shuttle can be taken to In Shape 1/2 mile away. Facility includes memory care.

Large newer facility. Very attentive senior staff. Good mix of tenants not all disabled. Memory care onsite. Apartments nice and great location. Good meal and dining well run and one load of personal laundry a week. Nice place that got a nod from my dad and made me feel comfortable as well. Fantastic well done tour

this is a great community for my father. We like the staff and the cleanliness of the environment for my father. The staff are outstanding and always attentive to his needs. We like knowing that he is active and doing well here with the other residents. We would recommend other families to this community for the care of a loved one.

My mom and her dog are settling in very nicely, she has a real nice 2 bedroom with a porch. The staff here are great their friendly and attentive to all the residence. There are lots of activities and special events for those residents who want to join. Mom likes going to the dining room and being with the other residents but she's not too crazy about the food as she's a good cook herself.
