Independent Living Community in Lubbock, Texas

Greg

We visited here. Everything was closed. They had the COVID lockdown, so everybody was quarantined in their rooms. The dining area wasn't open. The apartment was typical, and it was small. They only showed us one, which was a studio. Their two-room apartments were just two studios with a walkthrough, but it wasn't a true two-bedroom place. The place was clean. It was like a typical nursing home. The doors were locked, and you couldn't get out without buzzing. It was more of a nursing-home feel than an assisted-living feel. You couldn't get in or out of the place without somebody letting you in.

We liked The Plaza at Lubbock. It was really nice. The people giving the tour and the nursing staff in general seemed to really know the people that were there and stopped and talked to them. They were really good with them. It's very roomy. It's got a coffee shop out front and different places throughout where they could all gather. Everybody looked clean and happy. It was really nice. My mom has stayed there too for respite twice, five days each time. They're pretty large rooms, so they're not stuck in there. It's like a private room even when there were two people in there. It's really good sized. She didn't participate in activities, but there were options. They went out and ate dinner with other people and she participated more than she would. The facility was great. They had different places with things going on for different groups depending on what was appropriate for each group.

We moved into Raider Ranch 2 weeks ago. It's very nice and it's in a property that is fairly big, but not really huge to be too impersonal. They have an indoor and outdoor pool, hot tub, gym, library, and pool room. I'm not yet participating in any activities, though. The cleaning crew was very efficient and I'm happy with them.
