The Preston
The Preston provides assisted living and memory care in Dallas, in the Park Cities neighborhood. Assisted living supports daily tasks while residents live in their own apartments. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering. Offering both care levels may make The Preston a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time and who may be able to remain in the same community as care needs change.
Housing includes studios, one bedroom apartments, and two bedroom apartments. A resident can choose a single private space or a larger layout that can suit two people moving together. The starting price is $5,525 per month, giving families a monthly baseline for estimating the cost of a residence at the community. Respite care is available for short stays, which can suit a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover.
Residents can use multiple dining venues, including restaurants on site, a bistro, and a café, with rotating seasonal menus, vegetarian choices, and low sodium, heart healthy, and gluten free options. A rooftop terrace garden, on site spa, salon and barber, fitness center, library, and movie theater offer places for outdoor time, personal care, exercise, reading, and films. Scheduled activities include yoga, tai chi, outings, sommelier led wine tastings, and Watermark University enrichment workshops, while pets are allowed so a resident may be able to keep a pet at the community. A Walk Score of 69 places the area in the somewhat walkable category, meaning some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach selected destinations independently. Watermark Retirement operates the community, and Watermark Retirement Communities is identified as its owner.
