Remington Park Baytown

They could have been more clean, had more things to do in the home for the residents, and the nurses could have a little more patience. The people at the front desk were always helpful and very nice. My father seemed to be comfortable here and the nurses did an outstanding job.

When I visited this nursing facility, it was to volunteer. Upon entering, I was cordially greeted by a member of the staff and shown a quick tour of the place. The staff was very friendly and I met many of the nurses and many of the patients. My volunteer duty was to spend time with some of the elderly people and entertain them as best I could. Along the way, besides meeting some very friendly and interesting people, I learned much about Remington Park. Apparently, the staff is always very friendly. Additionally, it was a very clean place with very attentive staff and the people who lived there never felt marginalized or ignored. The amenities, including the food and and sleeping arrangements, were top notch. Also, there were many activities for everyone to participate in. Since that time, I've volunteered more, and each time I've felt welcome and even inspired to spend more time there. The people, including the staff and residents, seemed happy with their choice to stay there.

In March of 2010 my grandma went to stay in the facilities at Remington Park. When I first visited her I noticed the lack of help I received in locating her. The staff seemed to be not very well organised and did not welcome or offer to help guest. When I finally got a nurse to point me to her unit I had to find the unit myself. She seemed to be generally happy with the conditions though she was upset at minor things. Her medication was given to her on time but her comfort level was not what it should of been. We had to provide her with a television and cable. She complained sometimes that the food was bad. The beds did not appear to be suitable for the amount of time and money spent. The nurses were very friendly but the rest of the staff did not seem to open for conversation. Her clothing was and general health were as expected but she did not have proper activities to keep her occupied or entertained during her stay. I saw no security or camera but it does not mean they were not present. I did however feel the lack supervision for the facility was not very professional for the amount of money that was paid. The price was outrageous for the the care provided but I guess it could of been much worse. Overall I would say minor things about this facility need to be looked at and addressed but the care provided was decent. The halls and bathrooms appeared to be very neat and clean. The recreation room appeared to be full of people who were doing many activities and enjoying there stay.
