The Laurels in Stone Oak

Comfortable facility, good choices of floor plans, competitive rates. Many staff have been there
for years, a number since it opened 11 years ago, and are happy, caring individuals. Most
residents appear happy and/or content. Food is good but it isn't made clear to new residents
that if the meal doesn't provide enough food they can ask for more. Security is reasonable but
could be better. All residents and staff wear tracking devices. Unfortunately tracking devices
worn by residents do not set off alerts when they step outside the building, so it's possible for
anyone whose brain progresses to the "wanderer" stage to disappear in the middle of the night
(and if this happens the facility's management will insist on immediate removal of the resident.)
Highly recommend the facility for people who have no significant brain problems and just need
the normal support for daily activities. Not recommended for someone in the very early stages of
Alzheimer's or dementia due to the security issue and subsequent administrative response.
(Comments based on experiences during the end of June 2014 when we moved our father into
then out of The Laurels.)
