I toured Walnut Place, and I really liked it. I liked the atmosphere of the place. I liked the larger room, but it's kind of pricey. I met Svetlana and she was really helpful and answered a lot of questions for me. The smaller room was just like a bedroom. I think my mom would like to have the larger room because of the sitting area. I liked that the dining area was near the rooms, so she didn't have to go to another floor. It looked more like a restaurant. They had a courtyard and a rehabilitation area. I saw some of the residents there doing puzzles and watching television together.

We visited Walnut Place, I liked it very well and I liked the size of the apartments. I liked how they had a dining room on each floor, so if they live on the sixth floor, they don't have to go down to the first floor for food, especially if they have mobility issues. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the residents were very friendly. They had a very nice open-air courtyard in the center of the building, and the apartments go all the way around it. They had an exercise room and movie rooms pretty much on every floor. They also had an activities director that was very involved and sounded like he was really into having fun with the residents. There's an atrium that's partly covered, with the rest of it covered in netting. It's open-air but some places are covered so you can sit, and there's a water fountain and lots of plants and trees and things. It's nice. I'm not sure what her title is, but Samantha, was very helpful, friendly, and informative. She took a lot of time showing us around. She was very nice.

This was the worst place ever. They lied, belittled and were just flat out rude. My brother stayed there for 14 days and got a shower twice, we almost had to beg for them to get him showered and have his bed linens changed. The nurses we had were not accommodating at all. The stayed on there phones and never checked on him unless he reached out to them. I would not recommend this place at all. They had comforters from the '70's that were nasty. The pictures shown are not what are in the rooms. No one told us we had to bring everything, snacks and drinks, the ice maker was broken, they had an ice chest that everyone had access to, not very sanitizing. He couldn't leave his room for 10 days which we weren't told about so he pretty much spent a lot of time alone. We when got there we had no idea what to do as no one greeted us, we were given a room number and had to go get the nurse to see what all we needed to do. He never saw the same doctor twice. The head floor nurse came and told him she would make sure everything would be ok and she would make sure that his needs would be met. We never saw her again and the only time we texted was because I demand that she get someone to give him a shower.

Walnut Place was a great facility that I toured when I was looking for a place for my dad. While we ultimately did not choose it (he wanted to go where his friends were), but it was my top choice for him. The medical amenities they offer are more than enough to keep my dad safe and cared for throughout his life. The community was quiet with a warm and caring feel. The staff in the assisted living has a long tenure which is what I really liked about walnut place. If I have another family member needing assisted living, I will definitely call them back!

My mom stayed in the rehab section of Walnut Creek and my and family were pleased with the care she received. Everyone there (from top to bottom) took really good care of her. We called my mom daily and she was always upbeat and said how nice everyone treated her. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

We lived in Walnut Place for quite a while. The facilities were very nice, but the aides were a problem; they aren't paid enough to care about what they're doing. My husband was there for 100 days, and I spent 2 weeks for a different thing. Their physical therapy was wonderful, and the nurses were very good. The food was good when we first went, and it went down because the lady retired, but it improved by the time we left. They had a happy hour, and they had somebody come in and sing.

My mother lived at Walnut Place for a year and four months before passing away in April. Her care and attention to her obvious health problems before having to be transferred to the hospital were severely lacking. The wait for a doctor to see her to recommend she be transferred to the hospital took five hours. My mother passed away two days after reaching the hospital. I could have forgiven the slow response, but after she passed, I never heard another word from anyone at Walnut Place. No phone call, no condolences or even a sorry for your loss. It was as if my mom had never even been there. It hurt me so much that I called the administrator to voice my concerns and even after that, I never heard another word from Walnut Place. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a place for their loved ones.

Walnut Place is right across from Presbyterian Hospital which makes it convenient. They did have levels of care there from assisted living to Alzheimer's care. It was a huge place. This particular facility I would rate as five-star only because they're so professional. However, I wouldn't choose this place for myself because they had more of an institutional feeling rather than a home-like feeling. I was looking for more of an independent living place where I had no need of help except to have somebody help me prepare meals or take me to trips or whatever. This place is not the one where I would go. However, if I have a family member that has Alzheimer's or dementia or some serious situations like that, then I would certainly recommend Walnut Place. This place is for someone needing medical attention even though it is just assisted living. They did have nursing staff there. I also tried eating there and the food was good. I would recommend this place particularly for people with medical issues.

Walnut Place is nice but very expensive for what it is. I don't believe that my sister receives personal care there. The room that she is in is small. For the fee you're paying, I think that the accommodation would be equivalent to at least like a hotel room. I don't think you're getting your money's worth with what they have. The food is not homemade cooking but it is all right. It is just fine. They have activities there; however, my sister doesn't participate in them and I think she should. I think they can do better by having more staff. That's maybe the reason why my sister is not receiving the care that we're expecting because the staff is limited.

My father was here on the rehab unit. In my opinion he received excellent nursing care and the physical therapists were great. The facility is clean, food is good and the staff is great.

Walnut Place, in my opinion, is one of the best facilities for elderly care that I have ever visited. The courtyard is very beautiful, the clients are well taken care of, and from what I hear - the food is excellent.
The staff provides transportation for their clients, there is a nice church within walking distance, and most rooms even have flat-screen televisions for their clients - which is unheard of for most elderly-care facilities.
I would highly recommend Walnut Place to anyone who is looking for elderly care in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

Walnut Place offer skilled nursing and rehab, assisted living, memory care, long-term care, and respite care. I've visited it a few times and have referred clients there.
It's in downtown Dallas in a nice part of town, right across the street from Presbyterian Hospital. It's very convenient. A bus picks up patients from the hospital and admits them directly to rehab. It couldn't be easier. And they do an extremely large amount of rehab business.
It's an older facility--probably 30 years old. Although it's an upscale facility, it could use a makeover in some areas, especially since it competes with some very upscale and newer facilities nearby. The rooms are large, though, and pretty nice. Many have been upgraded with flat screen TVs.
The staff is extremely nice and professional. The director of nurses, dietician, and a number of other key people have been there a long time. That's unusual and a real plus. When those two departments are good, the quality of care is superior.
The food is above average--just below excellent. They tend to use a lot of fresh ingredients. It's not at all institutional.
They have a lot of special events, too--big productions. For the holidays, they really go all out, with musical events and special entertainment.
