My girls was wanting me closer to Dallas to be close to them so they could be there for me and wanted me still to be Independent and a place that I could have my car which was very important to me so we looked at several brochures and online but we heard about the Emerson and I have been here for 5 months and I am pleased with my apartment plus I have met new friends and the staff is very friendly and we have a variety of activities to do every day.

Great place! I love how active the residents are. It's also great that they have assistance services in house just in case the residents need a little extra help with things like medication reminders.

The Ed was rude and very very unprofessional . She left a bad taste in my mouth . The lady sitting at the front desk wasn't pleasant at all either.

Emerson on Harvest Hill is our home today. We have a lovely and spacious two-bedroom apartment. The staff is very caring and accommodating to our needs. That includes housekeeping, maintenance, TV/computer assistance, and administration. The activities are numerous, ranging from exercise and chair yoga to movies, entertainment, happy hours, field trips, games and parties. We have made many new friends with common and diverse interests. Meals are provided in a comfortable atmosphere. There is a warm feeling when you hear piano and voices from the residents on a daily basis. Our religious needs are being met. This is a happy place for us. Marilyn and John Roppolo
