Our relative has been a resident of Walnut Place, 5515 Glen Lakes Drive, Dallas, Texas, for almost a year. She has received excellent care from the aides and medical staff. Also, Walnut Place’s physical environment is exceptionally attractive, comfortable and impeccably clean. It feels like a four-star hotel. But most importantly, Walnut Place is well managed. The management and administrative staff at Walnut Place are exceptional. Svetlana Santic, the Director of Community Relations, is very welcoming and friendly, but also professional, compassionate, and kind. A combination not often found in today’s business community. We feel so fortunate to have found Walnut Place and we are so appreciative for how they care for our relative and for us. Thank you, Svetlana, and the rest of the staff at Walnut Place
