Grand Brook Memory Care is the VERY BEST! Ever since Melissa with Baylor Hospital recommended Stephen White at Grand Brook I knew that I would find peace with my big brothers care. It took almost a year from the time Melissa recommended Stephen, for it to become possible for us to begin our relationship with Stephen and his wonderful staff. From the moment that I spoke to Stephen for the first time, up until now, I have felt an unwavering commitment to a level of care I could not have imagined at the time we first talked. The attention to detail, compassion and care big brother receives is unmatched

Over the last 2 years, my Mom had been to 2 other facilities and then one rehab for a couple of weeks after she broke her hip. Nothing compares to the love, compassion and attention that GrandBrook McKinney has shown my Mom. The employees hearts are in their jobs, the residents and the home. They genuinely care about each and every resident. Their activities are lovely, makes everyone happy, and the entire home actually feels like home. Thank you GrandBrook for the peace and love you give the families. I know my Mom is in the best hands and care. It shows on her face and in her voice.

Although I have limited experience with memory care facilities, i have to say that Grand Brook Memory Care of McKinney has THE Most Amazing staff. From sales to director of nursing to director, and most importantly, the caregivers and folks that interact with the residents on a daily basis - every single one of these people actually seem to like their work and CARE about the residents! With the regular Zoom update meetings for family members and the WhatsApp group to share news and photos of events and activities, it's easy to feel connected to your loved one. It is really, truly amazing to me

My wife was a resident at Grand Brook Memory Care of McKinney. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for a residential home for their loved one with Alzheimers or other forms of dementia.

It would take me writing an entire novel to properly express and explain what a true blessing Grand Brook-McKinney has been for our family. We found GBM a month ago after putting up with very sub par care and treatment for 2 months in an Allen Memory care facility. Oh! How I wish we had gone to GBM firstbut so very thankful she is under their loving care now. Specifically, she now has a team helping her every step of the way to manage her medication. Under the watchful eye and extremely kind heart of Stephen White, RN, my mom is finally getting all the help she not only needsbut deserves
