My mom is living in The Craig Senior Living. Their staff has been very helpful. My mom was in independent living at The Craig and she needed to move. My dad passed away unexpectedly. We had to move her to assisted living, and then with her dementia, we thought she might need to go to a memory care. But they're being very accommodating for her and to her, so we decided it would be best for her mental stability to leave her there. It's a real, pretty campus with lots of room for outdoor walking and enjoyment. Everybody I talked to, including my dad before he passed, they just brag and brag on the food. There are quite a few recreational games, movies. They have their own hair salon. Their price is the same as the other places, if not better.

We visited The Craig Retirement Community for my parents, and I was already familiar with it. Everything was good, all our questions were answered, and it was a good visit. The dining area looked fine, it was very welcoming, and everything looked good there.

We visited The Craig because all of our doctors were there. It's exactly what we had hoped for because it has independent cottages/duplexes that are really nice, plus a central building where we will eat in the dining room and have all kinds of things going on. It's just really nice. They have everything that we think we need. We don't need to drive far if we need to go to doctors or stores.

Craig Retirement staff is very nice. Mom is in a nursing home and in a shared room. They have a large bathroom, which is very helpful and one of the reasons why we chose that. The food is not great but OK. They do arts and crafts, they sing, they do some exercises and constant activities. It’s very nice.

When we first put my mom at The Craig, it was run by the Methodist church. Now, it’s a corporation, and we’re not as happy with it because they keep upping the price without bettering the care although she’s happy there. What my sister really liked about this place is that their nursing home is attached to the assisted living building. We thought that if my mom had to go to the rest home, it would be more like she had not moved; she just changed rooms because we don’t know how hard moving her is going to be because she’s happy. They upped the cost from $4,250 a month to $5,000. When the Methodists ran it, we were told that she could stay no matter what happens. Now, the corporation that bought it no longer honors that. It’s was better when it wasn’t run by a corporation, but as far as the care goes, she gets good care. We’re not afraid that she’s going to be harmed in any way. That’s the main thing -- knowing she’s safe. My mom has a one-bedroom apartment with a bedroom and a small living room with a kitchenette in it. She can adjust her own heater there. They provide lots of activities for her and keep her busy. The have exercises, bingo, cards, church, and have birthday and holiday parties. My mother is busy all day long. They give her medicines and check on her at least once through the night. Other than the cost, we wouldn’t be thinking about moving her. The only problem we’ve had is that ever since they changed hands, we’ve seen turnover in the staff, so we don’t really know any of the nurses who are still there. They seem to be friendly enough. I think it has a homey atmosphere because they have a TV room and an aquarium in their lobby. You don't see a lot of people in wheelchairs and walkers. It’s a pretty pleasant place to be. There are huge windows in both of her rooms. We didn’t see any other place that we thought was better than The Craig. I would recommend this place to other people.

My dad temporary stayed at the Craig, and I thought the best thing about it was the accommodation. The sanitation was fine. It was clean and upgraded. The facility itself was nice. The dining area and the rooms were very nice. The staff was OK. I would say that 50% of them were great and 50% were just there because they had a job and not necessarily because they liked it. They were lacking. If they had some good staff, I think that would be a great place.

We went to see the Sagecreek Assisted Living & Windflower Nursing facility while in Amarillo to check out possibilities for our uncle. We have some friends and family in the area and our uncle is most accustomed to the weather here, so we would like to find him a new home in the area. The outer grounds seemed to be very nicely landscaped and cared for. Our uncle has done a lot of gardening in his time, so this would impress him. The staff was lovely -- even though we didn't have an appointment, they gave us a thorough tour of the place. The fresh flowers everywhere were a nice touch, which they got from their own gardens. We were told that residents interested, may participate in gardening activities and grow their own flowers, just like they would at home. All of the communal rooms featured nice decorations and a comfortable space for residents to enjoy as they wish. They also had some private visiting rooms. The living spaces were thoughtfully designed, with the resident's needs in mind. The dining areas were all decorated with nice furniture - both the more formal setting and the casual eating areas. The food and snack menus we saw were filled with delicious and nutritious options for the residents to enjoy. The staff interaction with residents was refreshing to watch; they all seemed to enjoy caring for the residents and the residents responded well. This is very important to us; without that in place, it makes no sense to consider a place. We thought the facility is a great place for any senior to consider living.
