Grand Brook Memory Care of Grapevine sits in a quiet neighborhood at 2501 Heritage Ave., Grapevine, Texas, and has been helping families since 2004, first known as Autumn Leaves of Grapevine. This place is family-owned and only helps adults with memory loss, Alzheimer's, or other dementias who need different levels of support, from light reminders to complete help with daily activities. The building stands alone, purpose-built for safety, and has secured areas and technology like bracelets to prevent wandering, so residents can move around safely, even if they're prone to wander, act out, or need special care for tough behaviors. The staff is awake and on duty 24 hours a day, with nurses always there and a doctor on call, which means the care is always covered, and a nurse will help with medicine needs, including diabetic care with insulin injections or sliding scale therapy. Caregivers know how to work with people who have bowel or bladder incontinence and use gentle reminders for the restroom, but those who need more help can also stay, even if they need mechanical lifts or full assistance.
People here range from 55 years and older, and the small setting just fits 43 residents, which gives the place a more quiet and intimate feeling, and the familiar style helps people feel at home. The grounds have enclosed courtyards, patios, walking paths, and picnic spots where people can safely enjoy the outdoors, and there's indoor space for relaxing, with fireplaces, an atrium, a library, TV lounge, a movie room, art and crafts center, game room, and a piano. Family can join for guest meals and all the holiday dinners or family events, and everyone eats in a dining room or in private at Danny's Diner, with menus able to match special diets like kosher, vegetarian, low/no sugar, or low/no sodium. Grand Brook's culinary team works on nutritious, balanced meals, and meals are always included, which saves time and effort.
There are always activities going on-exercise programs, brain fitness, art classes, karaoke, live entertainment, cooking, trivia, Wii bowling, trips, outdoor walks, and outings to places around Grapevine, like parks, restaurants, or nearby attractions, and staff leads the Life Engagement Program, which changes up the schedule so no one gets bored or left out. Transportation is there for doctors or special events, and pets like cats or dogs are allowed if someone's able to care for them. The staff keeps up with new dementia care training, and the whole community focuses on keeping seniors as independent as possible, so people can "age in place" even as their needs change. Hospice and respite care are available when families need time to rest or if someone needs end-of-life comfort. There's also a long-term care ombudsman to support residents if there are any complaints or issues. Beautician services, laundry, dry cleaning, house-keeping, Wi-Fi, devotional services with a visiting chaplain, and a peaceful garden round out the amenities, so people don't have to leave for little things.
Grand Brook Memory Care of Grapevine averages 4.5 stars from 31 reviews, with families most often remarking how helpful and friendly the staff are, and with its family-run feeling, the place centers around faith, family, love, and compassion-making sure residents with dementia have a secure, supportive home with activities, good meals, and a chance to keep their dignity as their memory needs increase.
