Highland Springs Senior Living Community

Highland Springs Senior Living Community sits in Dallas, Texas and welcomes adults aged 62 and older, and the place really feels friendly, you'll see staff helping out wherever you go, and people often mention the warm and cheerful atmosphere-maybe that's why it's won awards for Best Meals and Dining, Best Activities, and Most Friendly. The community gives folks a wide range of care options, including independent living for those who want to live on their own with less worries, assisted living for help with things like bathing, dressing, and medicines, and memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, where there's careful attention to safety and a calm routine that keeps folks from feeling lost or wandering; there's also skilled nursing with full-time medical staff if someone needs more hands-on care, and short-term rehab services with physical, occupational, and speech therapies using up-to-date equipment like HUR and NuStep machines. Those who like to stay active find two fitness centers-one for assisted living and one for independent living, with special gear like recumbent cross trainers and leg press machines-plus there's an all-season pool, putting green, and beautifully landscaped grounds with walking paths, benches, and a stone water feature for when folks want a bit of quiet outdoors, or maybe just to watch the birds. Apartments are open and let in a lot of sunlight, and in memory care there's a setup where you get your own living and dining area along with access to a kitchen, plus things like a cozy library with a fireplace, a dedicated movie theater, and a bar and lounge space just for memory care residents. Highland Springs emphasizes mealtime by having a personal chef and fresh, balanced dishes at different dining venues scattered across the community, and they don't just serve food-they design meals to be healthy and appetizing, making sure there's enough vitamins and minerals as well as good taste. The community offers both indoor and outdoor common areas, devotional activities, and a regular slate of on- and offsite programs, so residents find plenty of ways to connect or keep busy, whether that means clubs, events, fitness classes, or outings. Home care services are on hand if someone wants to stay in their apartment but needs companionship or non-medical help, and for those needing more support there's reliable staffing, including board-certified doctors like Dr. Mary Norman-a Dallas Top Doc-who leads a team providing on-site healthcare and 24/7 nursing. Highland Springs gives choices for independent living apartments and assisted living units-some even have private patios-and it's handy that no one has to step outside, since climate-controlled glass walkways join all the resort-style amenities and dining rooms, which are never far from anyone's door. There's a gated entrance, gardens kept up by professional landscapers, and a setup made for easy, maintenance-free living, and with everything from adult day care and home care to nursing, memory care, and rehab, the community offers a full range of ongoing care, aiming for a stress-free experience no matter what someone's needs are or how they may change over time, all under the Erickson Living network's care, which is backed by three decades of expertise.
