We are choosing The Etta at Shavano Park for my mom. The grounds were very well kept and very shady. There were benches outside and some residents were sitting outside greeting us when we arrived. When you walk into the lobby, there's a fireplace. There were residents sitting in front of that and they were all very friendly. The staff was super friendly, too.
They were making some repairs and upkeep in the facility. The particular room that my mom will move into, there was a resident that moved out, so they were replacing the carpet and putting in new laminate flooring, repainting the walls, and repatching everything. They've been keeping it updated as the residents move out.
The staff who gave me the tour was fabulous, very knowledgeable, and super friendly. She was able to relate as to how hard it is to put your parents in a facility.
The dining area was clean and the food smelled great. It was restaurant style, they served them at their tables. Everytime I'm there, people are lining up waiting for the cafeteria or the restaurant to open. They were decorating Halloween cookies at one of the times that we were there. Another time, they were making tie-dye t-shirts. They were having a fall festival where they brought in a band and they were going to be outside in the evening, grilling for the residents. They have shopping days, card games, and book reading.

The Etta at Shavano Park is located close to where my mom was already living, so we chose that location for her so that it doesn't put her in a different section of San Antonio. The layout is very simple. You have one main entrance and then you have an elevator that takes you to the upper floor. You have two halls, one to the right and one to the left, so it is three stories, but it's not confusing. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. We're happy having my mom there.

My sister moved into The Etta at Shavano Park, which was wonderful. The staff members are great and so accommodating. Every little thing seems taken care of, and it is just amazing. The place is exceptionally clean and nice. My sister's room is beautiful. It is a nice size and larger than the one we looked at. It was less money and just better. It's like going to a high-class restaurant. My sister was raving about her breakfast and how good it was. They have bingo, crafts, spiritual time, medication, and exercise. They have a lot of activities.

The tour I had at The Etta at Shavano Park was excellent. It's a very nice assisted living place, nice staff, and I can't say highly enough about it. It feels homey and the staff was excellent, they were great. We checked the menu and the food looked very delicious. There were some people playing games during our visit.

The Etta at Shavano Park is safe, clean, and the folks are very attentive to my aunt's needs. They make sure that they're meeting her needs as far as eating, mobilization, and things like that.
The assisted living accommodation is beautiful. It's really, really nice. She has a nice large studio apartment, and everything is very well equipped. She's got to keep her own furniture in there; that's very comforting for her. It's really nice and very spacious.
The staff is very appropriate and very good. They are very aware of her physical needs. She was having trouble keeping up with her meds, and they've been able to get her back to her meds. They're also giving her some exercise, which she has not had before. They have a nice place to get her hair fixed, which is something very nice that she likes.
They've got a lot of activities, which she really enjoys doing. Staff-wise, they're really great. They're very well-rounded both on the clinical side and social side.
She also says the food is good, and she's quite a judge with food. I think it's great. She's got what she needs, and it's very affordable for her.

I went to The Etta at Shavano Park. The rooms are nice. Aesthetically, my mom wouldn't want to be there. It smelled like cleaning supplies, so someone was cleaning, and I like the security of it. You were not able to go in unless somebody buzzed you in. The guests were in different areas of the property that I went to. It's a smaller property. So they were probably in the common area, but it was a little bit too small like the common area was too small for me. It's like a multipurpose room to some degree, and they did have two. The ground was nice. The staff that I interacted with was pretty nice. It was clean, but it was just a little dated.

I just visited The Etta at Shavano Park in San Antonio last week. It's a nice assisted living and has a homey feeling. It's a big facility but it doesn't feel like it, it feels nice. The apartments and the bathrooms are nice. Overall, I think it's so nice and very clean. The whole property is kept well. They said they're going to remodel it but I didn't see anything wrong with it.
The staff was very friendly. Their physical therapists are nice and very willing to help. I think they're very accommodating.
They had a movie room and a dining room that were very nice. The staff told me they have a hair salon. The assisted living part is going to help with the medications and things like that. I think the care is professional and they try to keep the residents occupied and have things to do.

The Etta has had some transitional issues but the new Executive Director and management have certainly my turned things around. This is a great facility with beautiful grounds. The new staff along with some older favorite staff are doing a great job of caring for my aunt.

We took a tour of The Etta at Shavano Park. It's really good, and they're really attentive. They went above and beyond for us. They do assisted living, Alzheimer's, and they take care of your pills if you need it. The room size is good enough. It has its own little bed area and a small kitchen. It's like a suite in a hotel. The facilities are good. I was just expecting more outdoor space, but overall it's enough. I would prefer a little more space for them to walk around outside. COVID was already hitting when I took the tour, so they couldn't allow me inside the space. I was able to look at a specific room from the outside, but not come in or see the community in action. They opened the door and let me look inside the dining area, but not walk into it. It looked like a little restaurant; it had its own area where they serve the food, and it was nice. I looked at two or three places, but they were definitely the most attentive. I enjoyed the tour. I felt comfortable leaving my mother there. The staff member during the tour went above and beyond. We're from Puerto Rico, and she found typical Puerto Rican food and gave my mother a gift. She was really good.

My mom has been a resident at The Etta at Shavano Park for three years. My sister or I visit her every day and find the care to be excellent. The staff really enjoys caring for older people which means so much to my family. My mom attends exercise classes daily and the Bible studies that are offered weekly.

I thought that it was a really good place. It was very clean and the people were very friendly and they really tried to help. The dining room was pretty good and the people there seemed to like it. They have a library and an area for different things, there were also cozy-looking areas with couches where people can sit.

I saw the rooms at Brookdale Shavano Park were spacious and nice. The downside was that their refrigerators were not full; they were a smaller version. The staff was very friendly, and the residents seem to be happy.

It was a little bit smaller, it’s close to me, and I liked it. I liked all the people there. I liked when they have music. The food was really very good.

It seemed clean and really nice. I liked the layout for memory care and all of the activities going on, like art. I liked the small kitchen setting where they allowed them to help with either baking or cooking and doing everyday things. They also had a very nice courtyard area where the residents can be outside and dig in the dirt. I liked the way that complex was laid out also because they had the ability to transfer from assisted to memory care within the same facility.

I went for my mother. It was very nice and looked like a new facility. There were a few staff members there who were very friendly and very nice. The atmosphere felt very relaxed. A lot of people there said it felt like they’re at home. It really looked comfortable. I saw two rooms, one empty and another one with somebody living there, that were well kept, clean, and didn’t have any strange odors. At that time, some of the seniors were working with puzzles.

They have been wonderful. I know they have bingo because my mother likes to participate in it. She has been there for a month now. It is neat, clean, and pretty. They have a workout facility.

They are wonderful. They have been doing a very good job, and they are very patient. It is a very clean facility. My mother does not care for the food, but it seems fine. They have bingo, jewelry making, and cooking activities. They also have a happy hour every Friday afternoons. She has a one-bedroom apartment with a refrigerator and a microwave. It has a nice sized bathroom. I think the room is quite large. She has a queen sized bed, a recliner, a night stand, a chest, and a sofa.

My mother lived in this community for over 3 years in both the Assisted Living and Memory care buildings. There was never a time that I was worried or concerned about her safety and well being. The staff were always supportive, caring and loving in their approach with her as well as with our family. I found that there were plenty of activities going on, though she often times was not interested in doing them. The facility was clean, smelled good and the staff were always friendly. It felt good to walk into the place and be greeted with smiling faces from the staff and other residents.
