We have had Mom at Morada for a few months. From the beginning the staff has been helpful and kind. The ambience really suits my mother, and my sisters and I are pleased with our choice of assisted living for her.

The staff members at Brookdale Ennis community are awesome! the staff has been so kind and loving to my dad. And he is not the most lovable person around at this time in his life! Have bent over backwards to help him and me.

Cedar Hills Senior Living

Staff know our dad and seem to care about him for the most part. Minimal turnover amongst caregivers, leadership has changed 3 times in 13 months. Kitchen staff and maintenance staff have also turned over. It's good for the value. Newest manager seems to be making positive changes.
