Mustang Creek Estates Frisco is a senior living community made up of six houses, where each house has room for about 14 to 16 residents, and there are four houses for assisted living and two for memory care, so folks live together more like neighbors than in a big building, and every house has bedrooms, cozy shared living spaces, and places to sit outside, so everything feels a bit more like home than some places do. Residents can keep a cat or a dog with them, which is good for people who want a pet around for company, and the community has all-inclusive rates, so no matter how care needs change, there aren't surprise costs based on the level of help needed. There's always staff in the houses, 24 hours a day, to help with getting dressed, bathing, moving around, medication reminders, and dealing with incontinence, and staff will check in and offer reminders to use the restroom as needed, and they've got the training to lift or support folks who need extra help moving safely.
There are three types of homes on the property: Assisted Living, Assisted Living Plus, and Memory Care, and each offers something a bit different, so if someone needs more nursing-type care or memory support, or just a bit of help, there's a place meant for that, and the memory care houses are built and secured to keep residents safe, with alarm bracelets for anyone likely to wander, plus locked backyards and technology to prevent folks from leaving without notice. People in memory care get special care, like activities meant to give comfort and keep them as independent as possible, and the staff are ready to handle behavioral needs or residents who might have risk of wandering off or acting out. All houses get daily housekeeping, fresh laundry, and home-cooked meals and snacks made with a dietitian's help, and activities like outings, social events, and exercise are planned by a full-time activity director, so there's always something to do if you want.
Everyone gets access to indoor and outdoor places to gather, devotional services if they want them, and transportation for appointments or outings, with parking for those who need it. There are beauty shop and barber services you can pay for, and extra help with more care-oriented needs, like monitoring blood sugar for diabetics (though residents who use insulin have to manage giving it themselves). The place takes hospice care residents, and they'll work with residents who need behavior support or mobility assistance, even using lifts for transfers when someone needs more help.
Community events and programs, both inside and outside the houses, keep everyone connected, and staff have a reputation for being personable and willing to answer questions. It's a locally owned place, so they say the focus is on caring for residents, and not on turning a big profit, and folks say it's got a comfortable, homelike feeling. Residents pay a one-time community fee when moving in, and then get all services with no hidden or extra charges, and there are phone, cable, and internet options included so people can keep in touch with family. Mustang Creek Estates Frisco doesn't feel like a big facility-it feels more like a small neighborhood, with separate houses, pets, good food, and people who care about making residents' lives easier.
