Overall Review of Highland Springs
differentiator13 reviews mention this
Continuing care on site
Residents describe on-site care options that go beyond independent living.
Multiple residents and family members point out that the community supports higher levels of care on the same campus, including memory care and rehab/skilled nursing. Several reviews describe experiences in memory care and note physician involvement and nursing support as part of day-to-day care. Others mention choosing the community specifically for doctor care and for the ability to move to the right level as needs change.

Dining is a consistent highlight
Dining is consistently described as high quality with variety.
Food comes up repeatedly as a positive, with residents mentioning chef-created meals, multiple dining options, and meals across the day. Some reviews emphasize variety and that the meals are both enjoyable and healthy. Not every reviewer is fully positive, though—at least a couple describe cafeteria-style or grill-type service during a visit.
caveat6 reviews mention this
Large campus layout feels spread out
The campus layout can feel spread out and slow to move between areas.
One reviewer says they liked the central eating setup but disliked how much walking was needed because rooms and areas are spread across multiple buildings. Others describe the facility as more like a big dorm with long hallways, or mention being in separate buildings depending on level of care. Even positive dining and tours still come with comments about the size of the complex and waits at dinner time.
caveat4 reviews mention this
Pricing is a recurring complaint
Several families feel the overall costs don’t match the value they expected.
Pricing comes up as a drawback in multiple reviews, including comments that the community is over-priced compared with other Dallas-area options. At least one family describes major increases in costs tied to additional care needs and concerns about limits on what can be charged. Others echo the theme with concerns about assisted living affordability and about whether moving into an older unit felt fair.
