We toured Sunrise of Fort Worth, it was sort of our second choice. Their facilities were comparable. But to get to the memory care unit, you have to go in the lobby, and then have a circuitous route back towards the memory care unit. And since mom has great-grandchildren, which are still very young, we didn't think it was practical to march them through all these other people to go visit their great-grandmother. They had a couple of rooms that they showed us that they said they hadn't cleaned up since the clients had departed, and there was a little bit of mold in the showers. The shower heads were kind of dripping and they were in the middle of what appeared to be some maintenance work. They were changing the wallpaper and putting in new light fixtures and things like that. When my daughter and I visited them, it was the middle of the week but two in the afternoon and there didn't seem to be anybody working at that time on those maintenance items, so it was a little unusual. So we weren't sure whether they were taking good care of the maintenance and their people, or whether they were just kind of having it halfway done and taking a while to get through it all. They had good people there, the staff members were attentive to the clients, and they were attentive to visitors. Any questions you had they had answers for you or recommendations of where to get the answer from. Their grounds were well-tended, there was greenery everywhere. They had nice shady places to go outside and relax and enjoy. Interior-wise, it's all updated and modern looking, but not sterile like a hospital. It's more like a home, they had fireplaces and it was nice. But again, that maintenance didn't seem to be getting done the way it should be.

I visited Sunrise of Fort Worth. It's really nice, but a little bit smaller than the one I chose, however, the care isn't any different. They have a schedule of different levels of care, so it's not all-inclusive. I personally don't find that makes it not competitive in terms of price. It's clean and nice, we considered it, but we liked another one better, although Sunrise of Fort Worth came close and was very highly-rated. The staff I met was nice. They have amenities and activities, although I didn't really see them during my tour.

I was most impressed with Sunrise of Fort Worth. It is perfect, very efficient, and very caring. My husband is in a companion room. It's a little small, but it's very good and sufficient. He cannot do very much at all, but they bring him out for activities. The menu is absolutely excellent. They do a wonderful job there. The atmosphere and staff interacting among each other and with the residents, it is phenomenal.

My wife is in Sunrise of Fort Worth. The folks I've been in contact with regularly are very nice and they give me all the information I need. They seem to be taking care of my wife. The experience overall has been pretty good. There are several activities like music program and a choir. The staff was great and the place was topnotch. I would recommend them.
