Bader House Memory Care

Finding the right memory care community for someone you love is one of the hardest decisions a family can make. After experiencing Hope Springs Memory Care firsthand with my grandmother, I can honestly say we are incredibly grateful for the love and compassion shown by the entire staff. Every caregiver has treated my grandma with dignity, kindness, and genuine patience. They don’t just care for their residents—they truly get to know them and make them feel valued and loved. As family members, we’ve always been welcomed, kept informed, and treated with the same compassion they show the residents. The home-like atmosphere brings so much comfort during such a difficult season of life. Knowing my grandmother is surrounded by people who truly care gives our family peace of mind that is impossible to put a price on. Thank you to everyone at Hope Springs for loving my grandma so well. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our family, and we will always be grateful for the care you’ve given her. May God richly bless each of you for the work you do every single day.

Though I was confident on every level that moving my dad to a memory care facility was the right decision, it was the worst day of my life. However, I was eventually comforted by knowing we selected the right home-away-from-home Dad deserved. It started with the education. Whether we chose Hope Springs (Bader at the time) or elsewhere, the staff was a wealth of knowledge. From why carpeted floors are imperative to knowing what the staff-to-resident ratio should be to official programming empowered us to ask the right questions and ultimately choose the best care for our family's superhero. Seeing the good in bad: — Our Big John always thrived on interacting with people. Bam! New friends, who we now consider family. New faces for John to ask "How are you doing?" (really wanting to know), give a wink to, tell "I love you" "You're pretty," and even pull a prank on. — Our family was able to share our husband/dad/grandpa with more people. The heart and soul of John's personality was obvious to the caregivers, staff, residents and other families at HS. — Our family was treated with kindness, respect and patience, as we navigated unfamiliar territory (which was always changing). — A team of people who understood him and what he was going through. — A group of professionals who not only catered to his needs, but also loved him (I am 100% certain) like their own father. I mean, he is easy to love. — He was treated with the grace and dignity he deserved. — Through programming and intimate conversations, we were educated and guided through this process with knowledge, compassion, hand-holding, hugs and prayers. Though Dad didn't really participate, our family and the other residents enjoyed stellar programming and activities. There's just one thing I would change: I would love to see a culture where the caregivers receive the same kindness, support, and compassion they extend to the residents.

Hope Springs Memory Care restored my faith , renewed my weary heart, and allowed me to finally trust someone else to help care for my sweet Dad. By the time I found it we had already been through another very large multi-care facility. Hope Springs is small enough to be focused on Memory Care, the staff is trained JUST for dementia patients. It made a HUGE difference for my Dad. The changes in him were apparent after only 2 days. Hope Springs is structured completely differently than any Memory Care facility in the DFW area, and I know because I looked at almost every one of them. They keep the rhythms of a person with dementia in mind the entire day & night. It has a secure outdoor back yard for sunshine. In fact the whole building is light filled, not a dimly lit corridor in the whole place! They have scheduled activities that they actually do, not just say they do like the previous one my Dad was in. The food is homemade & cooked in the kitchen onsite w/ fresh ingredients. But THE MOST IMPORTANT thing is the staff. I have laughed with them, cried with them , and consider them each my family. Miraval, Elizabeth ,Zee, Beverly, Elayna , and the rest of my Dads caregivers made my Dad feel loved & comfortable. He smiled all the time. He was treated with respect & dignity. I could not be more grateful to each & everyone of them.
