Grand Brook Memory Care of Grapevine

I placed my Mom in Grand Brook Grapevine January 2024 and I've had almost three months to see the wonderful progress she has made! I couldn't be more pleased with the staff and Grace the RN and Reba Byrd who runs the front end and William who is always available for added help. I just couldn't be more relieved that I chose Grand Brook plus the food is cooked in house and tasty thanks to Felicia who is absolutely wonderful to the guests. Mom's room is clean and her bed is made every day that I go over and her clothes are clean and she is well cared for. This place make a sad time in our life just as comfortable and sweet as possible. You won't be disappointed I promise.

We were so fortunate to find Grand Brook Memory Care Grapevine. After an extensive search to find the right living situation for our relative, Jack, when we walked into Grand Brook, we knew we had found home for Jack. It was like receiving a group hug. The entire staff welcomed him, engaged with him to make sure he would find his new home inviting and safe. No longer was Jack “ in trouble” because of his failing memory and confusion. What a relief for him and us, that he was accepted and cared for. A big thank you to Ariel for gently coaxing Jack into getting up and dressed everyday and to Felicia, for asking what he liked to eat and preparing his favorites for him. Kudos to William, Reba and Grace for making the transition to Grand Brook smooth and easy and for delivering on the promises of care and service. Our family sends our thanks and will continue to highly recommend others to explore Grand Brook.

I began to wonder if caring for my wife with Alzheimer's at home was safe for her, even with the help of a professional caregiver; however, I just couldn't "send her away" from her home. Her hip fractured and we spent weeks at a Nursing/Rehab where the therapists were unable to rehab her due to her limited cognition. Our home is not handicapped accessible so I was forced to find a place for her. I didn't like the Nursing/Rehab environment and looked for a memory care exclusive facility. After a tour, I found Grand Brook checked all the boxes and moved her there. She arrived in her wheelchair and I engaged our personal caregiver to stay for a transition period. I had been told that these facilities told families not to visit for an initial period so the new resident would more easily accept their new situation. Grand Book is not like that. When I discussed transitioning with the nursing director, she told me right now my wife knows who I am and that we love each other. The disease will take that away, so don't lose this time while we still have it. I asked if I could spend nights with her and they not only allowed that, they proceeded to suggest other ways I could stay involved with her. I couldn't take her home; but they helped me take home to her. My caregiver was with her during the day and excitedly told me she was trying to walk. We both kept encouraging her to walk and in-between our shifts I found the staff was following our lead and was walking with her if we weren't there. Grand Brook has a combination of family-oriented policies and a dedicated, caring staff. My wife is very accepting of life there. Eventually she regained her ability to walk and we've returned the wheelchair. Our caregiver was so impressed with the operations she applied to work there after her regular client hours. I talk with others who have moved their spouse or family member from other facilities to Grand Brook for any number of reasons. My wife and I are very fortunate to have found it right away.
