The Landon at Lake Highlands

I knew the first time I walked onto the property, this was a quality facility. Mark Sheets went over and above to address every question and concern. He and I toured the campus and discussed what it would take to move my mother out of her home of over 50 years. I knew mom would need to be close to the dining room, so location was critical. A recent vacancy was to be ready for viewing in about a week. I viewed the same floor plan further down the hall and felt it would be adequate for mom's needs. When mom and I looked at the apartment, there was immediate interest in exploring this option further. Mark then offered us to have lunch and experience the food first hand. That closed the deal! The food is delicious, the residents are friendly, the few pets residing there are adorable. Mom has not been this happy and comfortable in a LONG time. She is walking more than before for her three meals a day as well as her two happy hours a week. Mom says- " I feel like I am on a cruise!" We can not wait until cooler weather to sit out on her beautiful balcony and watch the sunset together.

It's difficult to put into words how much this place means to me. My Dad has multiple conditions that make living alone at home untenable. He is a proud and strong man who has achieved a lot in his life and leaving the home he has known was difficult. The change that has occurred in the 2 weeks since he came to the Landon has been like the dawning of a new day! Even in the context of "independent living" there is SO MUCH support here! Breakfast with the gang in the morning, supervised exercise and engaging classes in the early afternoon, field trips to wherever the consensus decides, cars available for reservation for errands, the quiet environment, capable security, chef prepared meals, on-site exam room for doctor visits, on-site salon, and the welcoming atmosphere for family and friends are just a few of the many features. It is like Dad was "awakened" and is much more engaged in life, is happier, and spreads joy to to others! The support has turned back his clock by years! If you have the means for this place, it will be a bargain to offer your loved one a space here. I look forward to my own eligibility for residence here!

I never thought my mom would be so happy. From day one the staff in the entire place have been outstanding. Her apt. Is lovely, the surroundings are beautiful, the maintenance thorough, the food better than a 5 star restaurant - everyone aims to please. The confidence of having her in such a safe, wonderful place is an answer to our prayers.

I see this place as my New Famuly Home. Residents & Staff always treat me with a smile, a welcome, and want to know how they can assist me. I will move into an apartment in March as soon as it is ready, maybe on March 15. I've alrrady been asked to be a rrsodent who can zerve others in ways I've already served others with acceptance from them and those in charge in corpirations, churches, and Dallas County As an Elections Day Judge. I love to meet & greet strangers, and treat them as "friends I haven't met yet." That's how Landon Place treats me, too!
