Arcadia Living

My Mom has been at Arcadia Denton 1 for 2.5 weeks and we are THRILLED!!!! The care the exceptional. Everyone is so kind, patient and compassionate. My Mom's room is beautiful and spacious, with lots of natural light. She has her own private bathroom, attached to her room. She is encouraged to engage and interact, coming to the common area for meal times and activities. The facility is exceptionally clean, spacious and lots of natural light. This place is a gem. I am so thankful.

I recently visited my Aunt that is a resident of Arcadia of Denton and she looked well taken care of and happy. I found the staff to be very kind as well as patient with some residence that needed " a little extra help". The entire facility from what I could see was extremely clean as well as my Aunt's bedroom and bath. There were no unpleasant odors that are often present in some facilities and nursing homes. It was nice that the common areas and my Aunt's room have a very" home like feel" unlike some facilities that are more institutional like. She has her own furnishings, pictures and personal items that help to make it feel more like home to her. There is also a large back yard that she enjoys. It's hard when family has to make the decision to place a resident, but it is comforting to know they are taken care of and safe. I think Arcadia provides both.

This review is on one employee of Denton Arcadia in particular, Christine Marie. My mother is going through one of the most difficult times in her life. She has Parkinson’s and it has progressed to the point of her having hallucinations and is in extreme depression. She has had to be separated from my father and to say the least she is not taking it well. Christine Marie is just about the only person that can put a smile on my mother’s face with her compassion and warm and gentle spirit. She has been such a positive light for my mother and we are so grateful that she is with Arcadia.

I’m giving this a 5 star rating especially because Christine the Activities coordinator puts so much love into her job. My mom is at this location and she just absolutely adores Christine. Christine treats the residents like they are family. She arranges activities that all residents are capable of being involved in given the physical constraints that come with age. I’m thankful that Arcadia has such a dedicated employee who truly cares about these residents.

Earlier this year I was looking for a place for my dad that was near me. He lives in New Jersey and I was hoping he would move to Maryland. I looked at many places and took information back to him. It’s easy to evaluate data and pictures but much harder to “get a feel” for a place. I found Denton Arcadia to be a warm & welcoming place. I told him about the rooms, that he could bring his “stuff” and about the activities and my impression of the house. He can be a picky eater but seemed satisfied with the menu (that’s saying a lot!). He liked the pictures I took back but mostly he appreciated the comfortable “feeling” I got when I visited. The staff were so pleasant and helpful. And the answered every question I had (through my numerous calls! Sadly, dad passed away before I could move him but his selection of Denton was absolute! Thank you all so very much for everything Arcadia staff!
