Nursing Home Communities in Alvin, TX

"My late mother spent 5 years there. It was a good, basic facility. It wasn't super fantastic because there were simply too many patients and never enough staff to provide anything but good, basic care. They need more CNAs and the nurses spend most of their time passing meds which is all that nurses seem to do nowadays. Diet was very good and the facility was clean and appealing. The key to good care for your relative there is to go check on your relative daily but never at the same time of day. Talk to the CNAs who are providing direct care to your loved one and ask them how your relative is doing. The nurses only pass meds, chart, and do procedures. Remember that you are the Patient Advocate for your loved one and being directly involved in their care makes all the difference in the world. "

"I wouldn’t take mother back to ManorCare Health Services. The place was a dump. Everything is broken, and it’s in horrible repair. You had to bang on the light to get it to come on. The dining area was horrible; the residents in assisted and the ones that could go in by themselves all ate in one area. It was horrible food, horrible service, and a horrible atmosphere. It was $1500 a month more than where she’s at now, but I did like her doctor. She was there a long time, long enough to be dropped by her insurance. I got a prescription bill for $2300 for one month, and they didn’t advise me that I needed to get her on Medicare. Never was there a care plan meeting. They moved her to another wing where there was no therapy, and while she was there, she got pneumonia again. The a/c could not be controlled; it was too cold. I went back a week later. She was still in that room freezing to death. I was freezing to death, and after a fit, they moved her. "

"My grandfather is at The Pointe Rehabilitation and Health Care Center for a couple of months now and they are taking good care of him. The staff are very helpful. I'm in a wheelchair myself and they help me get out to my car several times. I've sat down with my grandfather while he is eating and I can see that the dining room is pretty good and very spacious. The rooms are kept pretty clean. They have a guy who plays the piano and they sing along, although my grandfather does not much stuff. He is happy there. The place is also centrally located right near a hospital. They have a lot of professionals. I was just there the other day and the podiatrist came in and clipped his toenails. "

"We have a family member on the Memory Care Unit at Clear Brook Crossing, and we LOVE it here! all of the staff is very caring and attentive to all of the resident's at this facility. Any time we have a question we have many people that are willing to help and always follow up with an answer. We love the Drs at the facility and are sure to keep us up to date on our family member's health and current medical conditions. The activities are wonderful and have a nice variety for residents on and off the memory care. Everyone is always willing to help and answer questions. Our family member and family could not be happier here! "

"My mother stayed at Ignite Medical Resort Webster in December. We liked the place pretty well. They were attentive to her, and she liked the people. The only issue she had there was that even though they would ask her every morning what she wanted for every meal, she seldom actually got what she asked for, but she didn't want to bring it to anybody's attention. A lot of times, the food was cold by the time it would get to her. The building was very nice and seemed like it was recently remodeled. The rooms were all private, so that was nice. The bathrooms were accessible even to somebody in a wheelchair. They had a nice recliner chair that one of us was allowed to sleep in at night. So, you could have somebody stay with you the whole time you're there. The staff was good. Pretty much any time we would call them, they would come in pretty quickly. We were there right around Christmas, so it was a little bit hard to get hold of people that were in charge of things. I did try once to get hold of somebody that was in charge of the dietary stuff. And I got a recording and nobody ever called me back. I was trying to get hold of a caseworker and they sent me to somebody's voicemail, left a message, didn't hear back, and tried calling somebody else, and her recording said that she was off until the first of the year. The front desk didn't seem to be very good at getting hold of people that were in charge of things. But the nursing staff was good. She had PT and OT while she was there, and those people seemed to be good, too."

"Kindred Rehab is wonderful. They work miracles with Gala -- my cousin -- and the staff is so great. The quality is just the best. He does a lot of natural treatment and supplements. It is just the best in the world; I am very pleased with the services there. They are doing very well. I would recommend anyone to take their loved one that’s trying to recovery from a stroke there. They are very good in what they do, and I am very pleased with their work. Dr. Clark is very knowledgeable. "

"My father was in the hospital for 7 weeks with a series of illnesses. His insurance gave us 2 choices for rehab so we chose Park Manor. I have to say the nurses and aids were wonderful and physical therapy helped Dad get well enough to go home with assistance. The negatives: there is no way for each roommate can watch tv at the same time without the other's sound conflicting. Some of the linens need to be thrown out, raveling hems, tiny holes, etc. These aren't huge but they affect how you feel about the place. One area they fall short in is making sure patients stay mentally engaged. My dad would always ask to go right back to bed after therapy or lunch, which I wouldn't allow when I was around. He now has to break the habit of just wanting to doze all day. My advise is to have frequent contact with the nurses and aids. Give them feed back, tips etc so they can do their best job with your family member. "

"I usually dislike going to nursing homes because I feel like the people who are in the home are helpless waiting to go onto the afterlife. But that wasn't the case at this particular place. I must havedriven past this place over a dozen times but I had never expected this to be a nursing home i more expected it to be to a higher end apartment complex(couldnt be more wrong right!) I was out ofstate when my grandfather moved in there so naturally as soon as i got back i hussled right over and i was shocked as i rolled up to see a familar building. I had always loved hearing my grandfathers stories and as i entered i was suprised to see my grandfather swapping war tales with other veterans they were all interesting individuals. I love visiting him and his new found friends i would definly recommendanybody to send their loved ones there. "

"My mom is in The Medical Resort At Pearland. I can never get in contact with her and they never let them know that family called, I have to go up there. They had a bug problem a week ago, and they finally took care of that. I asked the nurses about the level of care she would start with and they'd meet the caseworker for her, but when I talked to the administrator she never got the message. I don't care for it at all, so I'm pretty sure she won't be there for long. The food is always cold, they had to always heat the residents' food because it came in cold. It's dry and it's disgusting, so I bring her food. I wouldn't bring my dog there, the place sucks overall. The nurses are rude. They sit there and let the phone ring all night long, they don't answer it. On the first night they transferred her, they were outside for 30 minutes, because the nurse decided she didn't want to open the door on her shift. The paramedic called me and told me they've been there for 30 minutes outside with my mom on a stretcher because they couldn't get in. The lady said she's coming but didn't come and didn't say when she's coming again so they had to call me. The physical facility is nice. It's just that the bugs, the staff, and the food, those things suck. My mom is doing therapy, but other than that, because of COVID, they're just staying in their rooms. It's horrible that her insurance is paying for a place that's not a good place at all."

"Let me start by saying that I am an emergency medical technician by profession. I transport patients by ambulance from nursing homes to dialysis. I have been in many nursing homes, and found Tuscany Village to be one of the nicest. First of all they have monitored entrances and exits requiring codes so that people who aren't supposed to be there can't get in, and patients with altered mental statuses can't go outside and get lost. Secondly the facility is clean and kept up with. They have groundskeepers mow and landscape weekly. I have never seen trash laying about not even an overflowing dumpster. The hallways inside are carpeted and vacuumed daily and framed pictures hang on the wall. Inside patient rooms they are free to decorate how they like. The rooms come with motorized, reclining hospital beds. Single and double rooms are available. Double rooms are seperated in the middle by a thick, sliding material for privacy. Every room has its own bathroom with standup shower, toilet, and sink complete with handrails. The patients are very well cared for. Laundry is always done, bed sheets are changed daily andmore often than that when necessary. The patients I have picked up from Tuscany Village are always clean, well maicured with clean clothes, shoes, even hair accessories. I have never heard any complaints from the residents and I have been making frequent trips for over a year. Patients awaiting transport have a bag packed by staff with an extra blanket, diapers and lunch for their trip. My experience with the staff has been positive. They're are always helpful ad diligent when given a task or asked a question. "

"Bayou Pines Care Center is doing great. We chose this place for Mom because I had two other friends who had their parents there and they accepted Medicaid. The staff is very attentive and they keep an eye on mom. She likes their food. Cleanliness is very good. It's a friendly, clean, and attentive place."

"At first this was a good place with nice people. Lots of activities. They took really good care of mom even though she couldn't do to much due to MS. She was meeting people (nurses) and I met people. We really thought this was going to work out. A few years into it things were not doing good at the facility. They didn't pay bills on time and had mom life ins cancelled. She was able to get a new one. Also poor care had mom in and out of hospital. I really feel sorry for older people getting taken advantage of, and knowing that some day I will probably be one of those people. Anyways, Finally, new management came in and some people went and some new ones came. Lucky for mom she made new friends(nurses) and we both love them. The facility has been going thru renovations and is looking good. I really like the new human resource person and business admin., they are great. "

"Overall, I think this facility is very nice. I visited this facility on multiple occassions when selling medical products and also went into many of the resident's rooms as well. The facility always looked and smelled clean. They offer community eating areas, activity areas and a salon. There is also an on site therapy room in which patients can recieve Physical or Occupational Therapy. I have witnessed one of the group activities: It consisted of a large group session where the residents disscussed various topics and told stories about various experiences (past vacations were the topic when I visited). I like that they encourage communication and friendships among the residents. Some residents even have pets in their room which is nice if you or your family member has a pet that is near & dear to their heart. Overall, it seems like the staff generally cares about the residents, it is clean, new & updated facility with activities and fun as well as medical care. "

"The care my dad received at the Rio was totally awesome. I highly recommend anyone needing great nursing care to go to the Rio. I don't understand any of the complaints listed here as my dad received exceptional care for over 2 years until he passed recently. All of us put in money to send the staff a big flower arrangement we were all very pleased with the attention and care my dad received while at the Rio and we would not have wanted him anywhere else! Thank you to all the nurses and staff at the Rio for taking such great care of my dad."
