The Hacienda at the Canyon is a great place to live. This place is the epitome of beautiful southwest design, and aside from how it looks, the staff are caring and the amenities are wonderful. The food is great and there are always activities going on. It is definitely on the pricier side so there is a trade-off, but for me that cost is well worth it.

I moved my mom into The Preston of Park Cities in October, and we have been very happy with the care she has received so far. The staff is really fun to be around they really seem to care about the residents. The atmosphere is cozy and familial, and the food is also good as well. If you're struggling with the decision I suggest doing a tour of this place and you can really get a good feel for it.

I am very happy that we chose The Fountains for my grandmother. The staff are wonderful and very caring and she has really enjoyed her time there. My grandmother has one of the cottages which was very nice - for her it felt almost like her home that she moved from. Lots of green space and very well maintained. She loves being part of the community.
