When our mom needed to move into a memory care setting, Discovery Village was a comfort to our family. Their management team met with us on a frequent basis to answer our questions, to meet with our mom for a complete evaluation, leading us step by step through the process to mom being relaxed and safe in her new environment. Their memory care director is both top notch and sincere, his striking words to me, "my residents dignity is very important to me". His attention to detail, to both dignity and safety is top of mind with his staff, and I'm finally at peace with my mom's safety and welfare.

My mom has been at Discovery Village-Southlake for 4 years. She started in assisted living and was moved to Memory Care late last Spring. I have to admit I was very against it. To my delight, it has been wonderful! The aides have been marvelous! They interact with each resident making them feel reassured and happy! The activity director is dedicated to constantly finding new ways to keep the residents engaged and happy. I can not say enough good things about the Memory Care Director. He is completely dedicated to the residents and their families. It takes some of the worry out of knowing your loved one is there, knowing how dedicated the staff is to their needs and well being! Thank you Lulu, Cindy Lou, and Vanessa specifically and the entire staff in general. A very heartfelt thank you to each and every person involved! I know that this dedication comes from the top down, so a special thank you to Don as well! I am up there all day, most days do I know that this is not “just an act”!

The review written by my niece, Joanna Brown, is based on misinformation. The rooms at Discovery Village are not equipped with land lines. My siblings and I chose not to install a land line in our mother's room. We would bring her cell phone to her, however it was taken by Joanna's mother and she will not return it. Discovery Village is in no way at fault in this situation. They have done an excellent job of getting my mom involved in the community with the other residents. Even if she had a phone, she is rarely in her room where she could answer it. Because she is in a wheel chair and cannot walk, it could actually be dangerous for a phone to ring, because she may try to get out of her chair to answer it. She sometimes forgets that she can't walk. I and three of my siblings are very pleased with the care that she has received in memory care. Several of the caregivers have done an excellent job of establishing a relationship with mom, I am very grateful to them.

When our nation was first learning about covid19 and the pandemic, and so many "nursing homes" were being hit hard with cases, hospitalizations and deaths, we weren't sure our mother (in her late 90's) could survive; we wondered if she might be safer at our home, but didn't feel we could adequately care for her, so we made decision for her to remain at Discovery Village. We are so grateful for the loving care she has received during these past two years (and the 3+ years that she has resided there). They have kept her healthy and safe. She is fall risk but hasn't fallen or had any serious injuries; was fully vaccinated early on, tested regularly, and isolated when necessary. Her doctors, nurses, caregivers, and other staff show love and care, and act professionally in ways that benefit our mother and the community. Thank you!

I greatly enjoy coming to work everyday to Discovery Village at Southlake! Our leader, Brian Culpepper is without a doubt the best Executive Director I have ever worked with. He leads by example, doesn't mind rolling his sleeves up when needed as he continuously strives to improve the lives of the residents and staff everyday. ~ Traci Lehmberg, Director of Celebrations

My grandma stayed here after a hip surgery. She also has some dementia and they were so patient with her. She received amazing therapy and my grandma loved her nurses. When we left, she was hugging everybody's necks. She was able to return to her assisted living apartment and enjoy all the things she did before!!

This place is wonderful across the spectrum both for the newly retired that just want a quiet neighborhood to live in, to the complete assisted care facilities offered, should the need arise (this can be for acute temporary conditions or long term). They even have hospice available here. We utilized a hospice service for my grandmother and were very impressed with their staff (If I remember correctly, you can request information and will be provided with outside hospice info). The nurses were kind, understanding, patient, and informative. They didn't act irritated with our many, many questions and concerns, and I felt comfortable leaving my grandmother in their care at the end of the day. Because of this facility's wide range of care, my grandfather, who is almost completely blind and cannot drive because of this, was able to spend much more time at my grandmother's side in her last days because he lived in one of the apartments in the main building.I feel the greatest advantage to offering a full range of care and services is that this allows for the highest level of independence possible. If something does change and a higher level of care is needed, residents will still be able to stay in a familiar environment. This is a difficult transition for many people and this lessens the need to make "the hard decisions," down the road. My grandmother passed away in 2012 and my grandfather still resides here. He has been able to make friendships and enjoy more activities because of the ability to access resources he would not normally have. You can become as involved or uninvolved as you wish, although it appears most people find the community to be a great thing. Ultimately, these factors all increase one's quality of life, as well as eases the minds of loved ones that often feel overwhelmed by the entire process.Since 2012, I've watched this community grow and evolve, including the neighborhood just down the street. I have emphasized a lot of what this facility has to offer when some (or a lot) of assistance is needed, but I would be remiss not to mention the sizable neighborhood next door. The houses are brand new and quite beautiful. I've watched them being built.It bears worth mentioning that the all of the grounds are very clean and well-kept. I also have had personal experience with being confronted by security (I was photographing by the pond while visiting my grandparents) and know for a fact they take the safety and security of their residents very seriously (you are required to check in when visiting the main building and the apartments inside of it, but this is not required for the neighborhood area).This would be an ideal "golden years" experience, in my opinion. I could enjoy living around people my own age, know that I could stay in the comfort of my home - or at least my neighborhood - until my last day on earth, and my overall quality of life would be maximized.I'm quite certain there are additional benefits that are offered to residents that I'm not aware of (landscaping, cleaning service, social events, etc.).The one issue that could be a very big issue with this location is the price tag. This would probably be a deal-breaker for most people. They say you get what you pay for. Unfortunately the average American simply will not have the means to cover the cost long term for living here. I'm not aware of any type of financial assistance or services offered, but I haven't looked into that and it may be worth a little bit of research if this move feels right for you or your loved one(s).Overall, I am very impressed with all of the advantages this kind of lifestyle has to offer. I personally would consider living here should my finances allow for it and I'm still residing locally when I'm retired. I still come here frequently to visit my grandfather and have enjoyed watching this new community flourish in recent years. Words cannot express how grateful we are to those incredible nurses and staff that helped us through the last part of my grandmothers journey. Thank you.
