Assisted Living Communities in Port Lavaca, TX

"My mother-in-law has moved into Trinity Shores of Port Lavaca. She was there for rehab in June and she just got moved into the assisted care this past week. The facilities are very nice. They've got nice- sized rooms and all that, but as far as all the services and everything they offer, I'm not that familiar with it yet. It's very clean, the staff is friendly, and it's convenient. It's close to where she lived. When she was in rehab, they were very caring and very friendly, they watched after her, and we were satisfied with the staff. I know at this point in time they're trying to encourage her to get more involved with what the programs they have. They have a calendar of activities listed every day."

"Brightwater is our second choice. To me, it caters to more of the richer population. This community is physically the closest to where John, and I live. The neighborhood is marvelous. The staff members are good there. The only reason I’m rating it a little lower for us or for my mom is because I saw that the people staying there were dressed in formal clothing every day. "

"I toured the memory care of Mercy House Victoria. I liked that it had an outdoor spot for the residents to walk. That was really important for my mother. She loves to walk to see nature and everything was secured there. It was nice, neat, and clean. The food was provided (three meals a day). They had an activity going on there where they were singing, they had tambourines, and they were playing. So, they have a lot of activities. They're pet-friendly as long as it's house brought and small, and they were talking about letting Mom and Dad bring our Boston Terrier, which was really nice. The person that gave me the tour was distracted and I was more of an afterthought. I don't think that he was expecting me, and I just kind of felt like it was just kind of "OK, here it is," but he wasn't rude or anything. The facility was pretty immaculate, but somebody had gone to the restroom and didn't flush the toilet. It was clean but there was pee in the toilet. Then there were poop stains on one of the bedspreads. That was what it looked like. Nothing smelled, but you all are showing me this room, and it's got that. I know poop happens because I care for my parents and sometimes it doesn't wash out. So, maybe that was the case. Everything else was nice."
