The Tradition–Prestonwood

The Tradition-Prestonwood is a senior living community in North Dallas, not far from Prestonwood Boulevard and Arapaho Road, and it offers different care levels, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care in two separate buildings. The Independent Living part sits at 15250 Prestonwood Blvd, and the Assisted Living and Memory Care sections are at 5555 Arapaho Road. This community has a mix of apartments for adults-one, two, and three-bedroom options, some with patios, walk-in closets, kitchenettes, granite or stone countertops, walk-in showers, washers and dryers, and high ceilings, and residents can have cats or dogs, up to two pets per apartment. Folks who live here find wheelchair access throughout, elevators, emergency call buttons in every apartment, a key control system, and 24-hour nurse coverage for peace of mind, and there's round-the-clock staff and a call system to help during emergencies.

Those who need extra help get assistance with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, moving around, medication management, insulin injections, and support for non-ambulatory needs, plus there's special dementia care and a program for people with mild cognitive impairment. Residents join scheduled activities-movie nights, music programs, day trips, and educational events-and since the place aims for a lively, safe, and social atmosphere, there are many spaces for people to gather, like a library, bistro, clubroom, and an arts room, plus several courtyards, a movie theater room, a business center, and even guest suites for visitors. For those who like to keep busy, there are two pools-one is an Olympic-size indoor swimming pool with large windows and access rails, another is heated, and there's also a fitness room, Pilates and exercise spaces, billiards, card and game rooms, and walking paths. The building is secure, thanks to limited access points, controlled entry, covered parking, and courtesy patrols.

Meals are included and served in an elegant dining room-New American food with global influences, and there's also a bistro open for light fare outside regular dining hours-plus all meals focus on nutrition and quality. Housekeeping comes every week, there's a beauty and barber salon for looking sharp, and transportation gets residents to appointments and outings around Dallas, and the staff handles medication, laundry, and personal care as needed. Apartments have Wi-Fi, cable TV, and emergency call systems, and there's extra storage, stainless appliances, and dishwashers in some units. People who just want light support can get independent living in a social, active community, while those who need more help or memory care have specialized options-memory care includes spaces designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering.

The place features an elegant two-story foyer with a chandelier, a grand staircase, and a classic grandfather clock and offers cozy sitting areas with natural light, fireplaces, and a grand piano for music lovers. Residents and families can take a virtual tour if they want to see the place before visiting.
