Great place! The staff was so wonderful and my mom improved so much while in their care.

We liked Brookdale New Braunfels. It was our second choice. The rooms were a good size, and the layout of the facility was nice. There were lots of people engaged; they weren't just in their rooms. We saw them out and about doing activities. One time they were watching a movie and another time the book club was having a discussion. The staff was very nice.

Elan Westpointe was nice, but my mother didn't like that the activity room was on a different floor; she was afraid she would get lost trying to find some of the other rooms. They had an activity room where they did puzzles and painted, there was a chapel, and a hair salon. The dining area was very nice and the food was good. The staff was very nice.

When I visited Rio Terra Retirement the rooms was very dark, and they didn't have any facilities available at the time. They said there's a 6-month wait for independent living. The room they showed me was in assisted living, it was just a studio which was too dark, and it would not have worked for my mom. The community was also too big, she would have gotten lost. They had a TV room and a salon. In terms of the staff, the girl that talked to us there was fine. The room that they showed me was drab and was not big enough.

My father's wife is in Brookdale New Braunfels. Her room is small and it's too small to put both of them there. They have a dining room and a beauty shop, but she doesn't care for the food. She likes the salon and they have activities. I like the staff. They've always been ready to meet with us, didn't put us on hold, they're very sweet people, and they're trying very hard to make it a good experience.
