    Review

    The Tradition is a senior living community that has received positive reviews from multiple individuals who have had experience with the facility. One reviewer expresses gratitude for the care provided to their mother during her two and a half years in the Memory Care Unit. They specifically mention the responsive Directors of Nursing, Shay and Stephanie, who have made a positive impact on both the resident and their family. The reviewer also appreciates the good medical support their mother has received during challenging times, as well as the recommendation for an excellent private care practitioner in Houston which led to their mother's successful recovery.

    The staff and facility at The Tradition-Buffalo Speedway also receive high marks from another reviewer. They praise the good quality of food, clean and attractive environment, and professional and kind staff members. However, they suggest that hiring more caregivers would be beneficial in meeting all of their loved one's needs.

    On a different note, one reviewer comments on their visit to The Tradition-Buffalo Speedway, highlighting the outstanding food quality and expressing a desire for larger apartments with better storage options. They appreciate the convenient parking and brand new facilities, including a nice swimming pool. The only downside mentioned is the location, as there are limited nearby amenities such as restaurants or shopping options.

    One reviewer shares a negative experience regarding a meeting with The Tradition's care team during their mother's transition from independent living to hospital care. They express dissatisfaction with discussions about additional charges for medication, assistance with toileting and dining hall visits, and limitations on alternative nursing care options. They also mention an issue with TV not working during their mother's first week under The Tradition's care.

    Lastly, another individual gives an overall positive review of The Tradition-Buffalo Speedway while acknowledging that there might be room for improvement. Although they mention some caregivers being seemingly lazy, they acknowledge that it may not necessarily reflect poorly on the facility compared to others. Their parents are satisfied with the food and enjoy access to amenities such as sitting areas and a physical therapy room. They appreciate the cleanliness, maintenance, and convenience of having meals delivered to their parents' room during the pandemic.

    In summary, The Tradition receives praise for its caring staff, good medical support, quality food, clean environment, and attractive facilities. However, there are suggestions for improvement such as hiring more caregivers and expanding storage options in apartments. Location is also mentioned as a potential drawback for some individuals. While one negative experience is highlighted regarding a care team meeting about charges and limitations on care options, the majority of reviews express satisfaction with The Tradition's services and amenities.
