Golden Grace Assisted Living & Adult Day Activity Reviews
Visited this location to see if it might be a good fit for a family member. Staff is some of the nicest people you'll meet. Faculty was clean and well maintained, worth a look if you have the need.

Best Adult Day Care and Assistance living with personal care.
I came here to spend a day volunteering as a nursing student and had to leave a review because I loved this facility. The staff are so warm, fun, and caring. The environment is home-y, casual, comfortable, clean and structured yet fun. Everyone including the elders visiting for the day were so friendly and happy to be there and interact with staff and each other. We played memory games, physical games, stretched, listened to music and chatted all day. It was bittersweet because I loved this place but wish that my grandfather who had Alzheimer’s and dementia could have had a place like this to come to when he was still with us. I know he would have loved it and it would have been a blessing to my family when we struggled to find adequate care for him.
This jewel of Collin County should be honored for the hours of work the dedicated staff puts in to keep the guests safe, secured and engaged. They don't advertise so someone needs to get the word out to County Officials that this Company must be supported and known to every citizen. It's the only place in Collin County that disabled Veterans can go that need daily or 24 hr care and/or activity. They took excellent care of my husband and I can't say enough good about this org. Thank you Golden Grace for helping carry the load with grace and class along with the caregivers.
