I would recommend the facility and everyone from housekeeping to the director have been wonderful. My father-in -law has no complaints. We have not met an unhappy person there and my father in law is a whole different person since moving there.

Great place for seniors who are independent.
Electric, cable, and 3 meals a day are all included in the rent. For activities, they have special days where they take you shopping and out to eat. Coming up soon, they're going to have a Senior Prom. They have musical nights where people play the guitar and things. They have yoga class, dominoes, bingo, nail polish, and a beauty/barber shop on-site. They have a Veterans' wall with pictures hung up. They also have special doctors - podiatrists, hearing doctors, dermatologists - who come by for those who don't get out. You wear a necklace where you can push a button if you need emergency assistance. If they can't come and help you, the fire department comes to help - and the fire department is just down the street. You can pay extra for covered parking and also to bring a pet. But the laundromat is free to use, with four washers and four dryers. The building is three stories with elevators. They lock it up at night, so you have to call to get in after hours. And they also have security from the university that patrols at night. You can have food taken to your room if you're sick or don't feel like going. But they have a big dining room, and anybody can come and eat with you for $7.00.

Our Tour Experience
Our tour here was very nice. We really liked University Place. It was clean, and they engaged with the people who live there. It's a very good choice if you’re in that position in Abilene. Basically, it came down to location. We chose a place closer to our family. Also, there's a big swing in price, and University Place was thousands more.

Thought University place was a very nice independent living place. Not specifically set up as assisted living but individual can have help come in during the day. Liked the area as it was closer to family. Still I am not ready at this point to make a major change. This was a”looking” visit!

Excellent Tour
We had an excellent tour of this community. Everything went very well overall. The community was nice, and tidy from what we saw. The staff was polite, and answered our questions. This community is very similar to the one we decided to go with. Unfortunately the other community location was more convenient.

We have been pretty happy with them so far.
We have been pretty happy with them so far. I couldn't put my finger on any one thing, I have just been really impressed with the way the residents have welcomed my mom, they all help each other out. The staff is really good, and the food is good. It's kept very clean. Price was a plus as well, it was affordable for my mother's budget. This was our first choice place, because though we looked at a lot of good ones, this is the one that best fit our needs, and we have been pretty happy.

It's been pretty good so far.
It's been pretty good so far. She seems to enjoy it. Their food is great. It's more like going into a restaurant, you get a menu with two choices, the waitstaff brings the food out, and the manager walks around and makes sure it's good. They have lots of activities. They were even a little bit less than others in the area. I think we are getting a good value for our money. Everyone is really helpful.

Perfect Place For Mom
University Place has been an answer to my prayers. My Mom's physical health had been declining for about the last 6 months. She began talking about moving to assisted living. We made appointment with Shelley for a tour and were very impressed. She was very kind and interested in my Mom's needs and concerns. She provided great information and answered all of our questions. We left there feeling very positive about the place. Mom was not ready to make the final decision yet and Shelley was very understanding. She was very good to keep in touch with us and let us know what was going on there. An accident at home put everything in motion. Mom is now living there and is making a good adjustment. Meeting people there has been quite effortless for her. Everyone from the staff to the already residence have made it easier for her. I do not worry as much about her being alone. There is always something for her to do now. I always feel welcome when I visit.

Very nice place!
Overall we've had a good experience with University Place! It's clean, the people are friendly, and they serve some delicious food! They have plenty of amenities and care options available as well. They're able to do 24 hour care for an additional charge, if necessary. They've also got plenty of parking and covered parking available, which is nice!

Found a place the same day!
I really appreciate the help that I got from those at Senior Advisor. The place that we decided on was what we thought just a retirement living center. But they had just started a new program a few days earlier called Catered Living. The home care people that come in are very friendly and my mother just loves having them around! It's one less thing that I have to worry about.

Frequently Asked Questions
about University Place Independent Living

University Place Independent Living offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored University Place Independent Living 8.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
