About the facility
Monarch at Richardson

The Monarch at Richardson is a senior living community offering assisted living and memory care services in Richardson, Texas. Our staff have been dedicated to providing genuine, compassionate, and exceptional services to residents for over 15 years. We understand that quality services and professional staff can be difficult to come by, and at The Monarch, we’ve made it our mission to make residents and their loved ones feel sure they’re in the best hands.

We’ve developed and administered two, distinct programs for our assisted living and memory care lifestyles that personalize the daily routines of residents, enabling everyone in our community to thrive in their own way. We know that caring for residents in memory care and assisted living is not a one size fits all system, and with our program Salus by Solvere (derived from the Latin word for “well-being”), we’ve adopted a wellness philosophy tailored individual residents so they may thrive physically, socially, intellectually, and spiritually.

Our specialized program Valeo (derived from the Latin, meaning “to thrive”) offers programming designed specifically for residents with memory impairments such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. We are proud of our community, staff, and convenient amenities that complement and sustain the grace...

Our families experience
My dad was moved into Memory Care. They had a TV blaring at a high volume constantly. There was not a quiet place for him to go except his room. Also on the weekends the staffing is questionable. My dad got very sick & they called me. He had fallen out of his bed & he needed to go to the hospital. They had called the paramedics but they said he wasn't injured. He was actually very sick with the flu but they didn't catch that. He was extremely dehydrated & I called an ambulance once there which was totally necessary. He looked terrible. I actually thought he was dead when I went to his room. He was sitting in a chair by himself with his eyes closed. The Assisted Living side is better. I would give them a 4. Both my parents have passed away so these are not good memories. There were a lot of very nice people working there. Not a bad place. Memory Care is challenging anywhere.

We went with Monarch at Richardson because the location works out really well for my brother who lives close by. They keep her busy throughout the day in the memory care unit. They play games, do exercise classes, read to them, etc. She has a personal room and it is a nice size. The only negative is that they have lost almost everything of hers even though they are all labeled, so it would be nice if they could keep track of her personal items.

Firstly I must say that the staff were outstanding and very friendly. I was greeted by everyone I passed. The community is beautiful a 'must see'. They have a lovely Bluebonnet walking trail and I know I saw bunnies and squirrels hopping along. I would add one more star if I could!

They have made the experience for my mom from independent living to assisted living as good as they could have
The staff members are so friendly and they are so caring to the residents. Our mother really enjoys the meals and dining service and mingling with the other residents. We have no complaints so far, and one of the best things about the Monarch is that they have a beautiful porch our loved one can sit out. Also the physical therapist takes the residents to the park close by to get them out and about.

Good Place to Consider
It has been a really positive experience. They've been really understanding with everything and helped as best they could. It has been just what Dad needed at the time. It's an older but homey facility, and they keep it really clean. He looked at another place that was brand new, and he felt like he couldn't even walk on the floors because it was so new. He feels much more at home here. He tells me that the food is good, and the apple pie that I tied was really good.

Highly recommend it
We have been very impressed with everything so far. The staff are very caring and seem to really know our loved one. They are very attentive to her. At first we thought this was a skilled nursing community because they have nurses there 24/7, but it is not. The care is great, but if you are looking for a skilled nursing community, this is not the place. The cleanliness of the community is excellent. They are really good about keeping our loved one's room clean and always having the bed made, which is very encouraging. Our loved one has gained some weight since being there, so we have to assume the meals are very good. And they keep the residents very busy with a ton of activities. We just love the Monarch.

Beware of memory care
We have had two family members join this community, one was on the assisted living and the other was in the memory care. The assisted living is great, the memory care is not. The staff is very nice, cooperative and will try to work with you the best they can. I would shy away from memory care if your loved one has advanced dementia. If your loved one doesn't fit the mold of mild dementia they do not work with you. The assisted living is fine, they were very loving and passionate towards our loved one. We felt that they were getting a high level of care in assisted living. they have been very diligent following COVID restrictions. Non of the residents have had COVID, they have done a very good job with cleaning and keeping the residents safe.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Texas regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Texas regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Monarch at Richardson 6.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
