    Happy resident praising caring staff

    I live here and I'm very happy - the staff are professional, friendly, caring and helpful, and the owner is knowledgeable and engaged. It feels like home with nice amenities, a relaxing fenced outdoor area (there's even a smoking spot), an easily accessed chapel with organ and sound, volunteers, and a full activity calendar that keeps residents encouraged and connected.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the provided review summaries is predominantly positive across staffing, activities, worship opportunities, and the facility environment, but there is a serious outlier complaint that raises concern and warrants follow-up.

    Care quality and staff: Multiple summaries emphasize a supportive, friendly, and professional staff. Reported descriptors include "supportive and helpful," "professional staff," "helpful," and "informative." Reviewers also note a positive work environment and family-like culture among employees, which often correlates with consistent, engaged caregiving. The owner/management is mentioned positively as "awesome" and "knowledgeable," suggesting accessible leadership. There are also mentions of "daily happy calls" and positive resident testimonials and family member satisfaction (for example, a sibling expressing happiness), which point to regular outreach and generally satisfied residents and families.

    Facilities and amenities: The facility appears to have a clear focus on worship and community programming. There is an on-site chapel with an organ and sound system, with worship information posted and easy access for seniors — indicating attention to both spiritual needs and accessibility. Outdoor and relaxation amenities include a fenced-in area for safety and a designated smoking/relaxing area. Volunteers are also available, which can augment staff efforts and broaden activity offerings.

    Activities and social life: Reviews consistently mention a robust activity calendar with many activities, and volunteers supporting those programs. The presence of posted worship information and easy chapel access suggests organized, scheduled programming and communication about events. The combination of an active calendar, volunteer presence, and reported daily contact (happy calls) portrays an environment with frequent engagement opportunities for residents.

    Management and culture: Multiple summaries point to a positive organizational culture: staff happiness, encouragement of residents, and an owner viewed as knowledgeable and supportive. These comments indicate stability in management and a potentially strong internal culture that supports both staff retention and resident satisfaction.

    Notable concerns and patterns: Despite the largely positive picture, there are serious negative statements that cannot be ignored. At least one review summary contains an allegation of involuntary confinement — a reviewer stating they were "forced to stay against my will" by a legal guardian and "cannot leave." Another summary bluntly describes the place as "miserable" and advises others not to live there. These are isolated in the dataset provided but represent significant concerns around resident autonomy, guardianship arrangements, and the potential for abusive or otherwise inappropriate situations. The reviews do not provide detail on medical or dining services, staffing levels, or clinical care outcomes, so those areas remain unassessed based on the supplied summaries.

    Conclusion and recommendations for further inquiry: The dominant themes are positive — engaged staff, strong worship and activity programming, accessible chapel, a safe outdoor area, and a family-oriented management style. However, the presence of an explicit allegation of involuntary confinement is serious and should prompt verification if considering placement: ask management about policies on resident rights and discharge, clarify how guardianship situations are handled, request recent inspection or licensure reports, and seek direct family/resident references. Also request specifics on clinical care, staffing ratios, dining, and any incident histories, since these aspects were not covered in the summaries provided.

    About Highland Assisted Living

    Highland Assisted Living operates two locations in Abilene, Texas, with a focus on providing care for seniors and adults with mental illness or special needs, offering everything from assisted living and independent living to memory care and nursing home services, so you'll find that they serve up to 135 residents in total with about fourteen staff who work under the guidance of Ms. Sami Yarbrough; and these facilities are licensed by the State of Texas, have a strong A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and make sure residents get help with everyday needs like showering, dressing, bathing, medication support, and hygiene, both in private and semi-private rooms, while their staff may also be awake around the clock, provide insulin shots, and help with two-person transfers though this can change and visitors should confirm care details directly. The staff work to create a caring environment that encourages independence and tries to keep residents' dignity intact, offering programs and services for people living with dementia, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or compulsive disorder, plus those with other cognitive or behavioral health needs, and have wellness programs, physical and mental health services, memory care programming, and individualized care plans. Highland Assisted Living serves three home-cooked meals daily and can prepare special diets for conditions like hypertension and diabetes, and they offer amenities such as a dining room, book room, hot tub, steam and fitness rooms, art and music programs, and both indoor and outdoor social spaces, with activities like movie nights, tabletop games, animal therapy, exercise, devotional groups, holiday support, outings, and a "caregiver community forum" where family and residents get information and support. Residents use shared community areas, can request meal plan changes, and enjoy wireless internet, TV, guest parking, regular cleaning, and personal laundry, plus there's a hairdresser or stylist available and kitchens or kitchenettes onsite. Highland Assisted Living offers memory care, respite care, and hospice care and helps with diabetic, non-ambulatory, and incontinence care, as well as medical needs like wound care, occupational therapy, nurses, medication management, and appointments with visiting podiatrists or other caregivers, and transportation to shopping, doctor visits, or spiritual activities can be arranged. The facilities keep things safe with handicap-accessibility, handrails, fire sprinklers, and daily supervision, and while amenities might change, residents and visitors are encouraged to check current offerings. The starting cost for assisted living is $3,000 per month, and residents can pay privately, with long-term care insurance, or by using Veterans Aid and Attendance benefits, and a long-term care ombudsman program is available to support residents with any concerns or complaints. Staff focus on helping people lead lives filled with safety, companionship, and comfort, and there's a special effort to help those with mental illness, unique cognitive needs, dementia, and special requirements, all in a setting that values both health and independence.
