The Tradition-Clearfork Independent Living

While, my husband George Bristol and I are still learning about living in our new home, we are grateful to be at The Tradition. The staff and residents are warm and welcoming. We look forward to participating in all that is offered as time allows. Gretchen Denny

My mother spent the last year of her life in an independent living apartment isolating at The Tradition before she passed. She was 88, with the onset of dementia and rarely left her apartment. She became very confused and angry. She was also diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I was her primary family care giver along with my sister as she became sicker and more confused by the day, eventually put under hospice care who prescribed morphine throughout the day and other drugs to manage her pain and symptoms. As adult children in our 60's, we expected the executive staff to listen and take seriously our input and concerns regarding her behavior with the dementia and being heavily medicated. They did not. My mom was not in her right mind especially at the end yet they allowed a gravely physically and mentally ill woman dictate no contact with family when she was finally taken to Hospice House to die. They also allowed a service person into her apartment without direct authorization from us after her death. They didnt bother to call personally to verify if it was ok to let a stranger in her apartment. When we finally found out she had been moved to Hospice House, all we got was one day before she died. I wouldn't recommend The Tradition if I were paid to.

Took a tour as looking to move my mom from KC here. What a beautiful, clean, secure, luxurious, friendly, and superb facility. Know mom will live it!
