Cons

• The rooms in Brookdale San Antonio are all nice, the staff was great, and the place was clean.
• I liked Horizon Bay and wanted my dad there, but they did not accept him.
• Just because my father said, “Oh, no, I’m not going to stay there. I’ll break your windows.”
• He doesn't feel like he can talk to others, other than the girls that work there.
• For people that are not suffering from dementia, it's great, but he couldn't figure out where his room was.

Review

The William Senior Living is a highly regarded facility that has left a positive impression on visitors. One individual found it to be their favorite out of all the places they visited, noting the friendliness and knowledge of the staff. The caregivers were described as friendly, caring, and genuinely enjoying their work, which was heartening to see in a facility catering to individuals who may not be in great shape.

The dining area at The William was praised for its spaciousness and open atmosphere. There was plenty of room for people to move around comfortably. The activities room and areas for physical therapy were also observed during the tour and deemed satisfactory.

In addition to its pleasant environment, The William demonstrated its ability to accommodate the needs of residents. This reviewer mentioned being able to secure accommodations for both of their parents for a short period of time. The facility was described as accommodating and nice, while their parents enjoyed the food and activities offered.

One particularly noteworthy aspect of The William was how well it handled a recent crisis. During an unprecedented winter weather event in Texas, many facilities struggled with power outages and water shortages. However, The William managed to maintain power, water, medication distribution, hot meals, showers, and daily activities without interruption. This brought immense comfort to one family whose mother resided in the Memory Care Unit.

Another review commended the care provided by the staff at The William. Frequent unannounced visits revealed that the reviewer's mother was always well-groomed and doted on by the staff. Despite COVID-19 restrictions limiting certain activities, efforts were made to keep residents engaged and occupied.

Moving on from The William Senior Living, Brookdale San Antonio emerged as another highly regarded facility in these reviews. It impressed visitors with its cleanliness, organization, helpful staff members (including an onsite registered nurse), comfortable rooms, spacious dining area with a diverse menu that accommodated picky eaters, laundry services provided for residents, and friendly and informative staff.

The positive experiences continued with Horizon Bay (Brookdale San Antonio), which was commended for its competent and solicitous staff, engaging activities such as games, ice cream socials, and music, clean and easily accessible rooms, therapy room, library, and TV room. However, there was a slight disappointment when it came to admitting a difficult individual into their memory care unit. The facility generally received high marks from residents' families.

Overall, these reviews painted a positive picture of The William Senior Living as well as Brookdale San Antonio and Horizon Bay. The facilities were praised for their friendly staff, cleanliness, amenities, engaging activities for residents despite the challenges posed by COVID-19 restrictions, accommodating nature in meeting individual needs, and overall sense of comfort provided to both residents and their families.
