I had a friend in Town Hall Estates. The room was small and cramped, but I think that’s true of probably most places. She was in the nursing home, and she was there for hospice. I was impressed with it for what she was there for and what I saw as far as the care. The nurses and staff were visible to anybody. There was a nurse station so you know that you can find a nurse immediately, which was great. They also had extra food out in the dining room so you could go and get a snack for your friend.
There were two people in a room, but I think they have private rooms, too. My friend I was visiting was in a double room. The nurse was very responsive to what I needed and whatever needed to be done. However, the facility was older.

My uncle was a resident of this facility. The room was fairly clean with unpleasant smell. The staff did not check on him on a regular basis. When they delivery his food to eat if he was sleep they did not wake him. When they came back to pick up his tray and he was still sleeping they took it without waking him up to eat. In the short time he was there two weeks he lost a lot of weight. This is not a good place to have your love one. With the virus it was very difficult to get things done.

My mother has already been placed in Interlochen Health and Rehab Center. Our experience has been fine. She’s been there now for a little bit, and I am having to communicate back and forth with the staff to help her get adjusted. All is well. The staff has been very helpful. Since I have not been able to go into the place and help my mom set up, they’ve been very helpful with emails and phone calls to work with the family. They’ve been very good. I would suggest they work with the family more to see what the patient needs ahead of time before assuming, because with COVID we couldn’t go inside the facility.
There were some issues in the very beginning where my mom’s room was not set up the way it was supposed to be and everything. It was the next day that I discovered that her bed had not had her sheets on. Had the nursing staff met with me prior to her being admitted, we could’ve worked together to have a better flow of setup for my mom’s room. So far, I’m pleased with the interaction that I’m having with the staff. They’re working well with the family, answering my questions, and responding to my concerns. I’m rating them so high because they get right back to me immediately with concerns that I have, they respond quickly to my emails and phone calls, so they’re working well with the family to help to get my mother adjusted.

My mom has been here for almost a week and we’re about to get her out ASAP. We never planned for her to be there long term, maybe a month, as we are moving out of state.
We’ve been caring for my mom since December 2018 complications following a lung transplant. Over last couple of years she has spent 14 consecutive months in hospitals, we cared for her at home for almost a year and decided to put her in a facility because she needed so much and we were playing every role (nurse, tech, pt, ot, speech, house keeping). Our goal was for her to improve a little so home care would be possible. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. She declined a lot in the first facility so we just moved her to this one.
She got there on Wednesday (should’ve had dialysis Thursday) and we had the Plan of care meeting (via the phone) on Friday. We made sure to go over everything she had going on and asked if they had dialysis setup. At first they had no idea. Which was concerning bc the meeting was about her so you should know. But they checked and said they had her for T/Th/Sat. The next day (Saturday) my brother goes to the dialysis center to lay eyes on her (we don’t get to see her often bc of covid restrictions) and she never showed. Called them and the nurse’s excuse was she only works weekends. Total bs. I don’t care if you work once a week. On that one day you should get caught up and see what’s going on. When she looked they had my mom scheduled for dialysis M/W/F and T/Th/Sat but she didn’t catch that or ask for clarification. They couldn’t get her to dialysis that day but said they would on Tuesday. We decided to call the dialysis center to see if she was there on Thursday and she wasn’t. So she has now missed 2 treatments. WTF?! We told them to send her to the hospital.
Trying to call them is a gamble. Today I spent almost 30 minutes on hold before hanging up and my brother has experienced the same.
During the plan of care meeting they seemed to be in a rush and not really trying to understand our concerns.
We understand that it’s hit or miss with any skilled nursing facility and then COVID has made their work more complicated but ppl still need to do their job
I don’t recommend sending your loved one here

***BEWARE***IF YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS, DO NOT SEND THEM HERE***
My mother was transfered to this rehabilitation center from Mid Cities Fort worth hospital as she was recovering from pneumonia but still having difficulty breathing. We were very concerned from the beginning regarding their Covid-19 practices due to her also being a cancer patient and reached out to them prior but with good response. Upon arriving, my mother was transported to a room and left for three hours without anybody checking on her. Her "help" button did not work and may have needed battery replacement. The entire time she could hear screaming and crying coming from multiple patients throughout the clinic. An elderly lady in the room next to her had fell and not only pushed the panic alarm, but was also screaming for help. It took a little over an hour for anybody to go check on the elderly lady. The "employees" spent 45 minutes cleaning up her scrapes and told her, "we will be back to check on you tomorrow." The elderly lady began to scream telling them she is in pain and she feels that she may have broken her ribs. The employees continued to just tell her they will check on her tomorrow. Finally an "employee" serving dinner noticed my mother in the room and asked if she had eaten. When she replied no, the lady then walked into a room next to her and grabbed a food plate that belonged to another patient which did not eat their own food, however, the grilled cheese and oatmeal was cold from sitting out in their room. After she reached out to us, and we made a complaint with the front desk, an "employee" made their rounds to check on her (remember she is here for having complications breathing) They offered her a new plate which my mother responded she would rather them check on the poor lady next door that is screaming in agony and was refused additional help. Immediately they entered the ladies room and informed her they will call an ambulance to transfer her for x-rays at the hospital. At this time my mother called us again to demand us take her out of this place. My father immediately rushed to the unit to have her released, yet she was not even registered in the system yet (after 4 hours). While he was sitting outside for 45 minutes as they tried to harass my mother into staying, he met another lady outside who was experiencing the same outcome from her daughter who was 31 and suffering from spinal cancer. This poor lady who suffers from immobility was in this rehabilitation center for 1.5 hours without a single person checking on her. This place should be shut down immediately- it is an old, dirty place that anybody who cares for their family should never keep them there! We will be reporting to anyone that will listen. SAVE YOUR LOVED ONES AND GET THEM OUT!!!!

My wife was at OnPointe. She had been treated for pain on morphine, and when they discharged her, they had taken her off of it. They didn’t give her any morphine or a prescription to take home, so she was back in the hospital about a day or later. OnPointe is on top of the hospital, and the room itself was pretty comfortable. It’s more of a hospital type and sterile atmosphere. She had problems getting service like getting her diaper changed and getting her meds.

My mom is still in rehab at Parkwood in Bedford, and she’s in the Covid unit right now. She’s been there for about six weeks or maybe even closer to two months. She has been in the independent living side, and she has an apartment there. She had some friends over there, so that’s where we put her for rehab. We really don’t know if she’ll be able to go back to her apartment or not. My mother loves the staff a lot and she doesn’t really want to go anywhere else, but I would have to say that the upper management has not been very forthcoming with us and we have felt frustrated at times though I know they have a lot of people to take care of. The staff that takes care of my mother is very nice and she likes them a lot, so they must treat her very nicely. She says she likes the food though I’ve never seen it. The facility is nice and clean and when she was in the rehab, she had a big window that she could stay at, and she really liked that.

Nurse Gladys, in particular, the rudest person I have met in my life. Staff English almost impossible to understand and they get mad if you ask them to repeat. Care plans ignored. medication schedules ignored, doctor’s orders ignored, complaints ignored. Sickening smell which means poor cleaning and disinfecting. They do what they want, when they want, how they want. Completely unresponsive to patient or family requests. Seriously under staffed as are almost all nursing homes. Factory care. I leave in tears and go home and throw up in despair. Do not be fooled by new name.

My 90 year old father was sent to this facility from the hospital after we decided on palliative care. Due to COVID restrictions, were we only able to see him by appointment. The appointment times they allowed were during the work day (9am, noon, and 3PM) which made it difficult for those with 9-5 jobs to visit their loved one without taking time off from work. You also had to have a Covid negative test on file, which I completely understand. However, once my father began going down hill, we were not permitted any additional time to see him. It was very important to me to be with him when he passed, and we knew it would be any time at this point. On my last visit with him, he appeared to me to be in decline. His eyes were fixated however he was still squeezing my hand. The next evening, I spoke with our Social worker that acted as a go between with our family and the facility. She spoke with the facility expressing my concerns and once again we were told we could not have more access to him unless he was actively dying. She and I both told the facility that I could be there in ten minutes at any point in time he began actively dying. Our plan was for me to visit with him the next morning and from there make a decision on whether or not to bring him home for his final hours/days.
My appoint was at 9 the next morning. I had been home getting ready to go. I got to the facility, waited in my car for about ten minutes because I was early and they were pretty strict on appointment times. Once I went in, I had to sign the same paperwork I had signed earlier in the week and get PPE’ed up. A woman in the office stopped me to tell me they were planning to move my father to a private room after their morning meeting then the woman behind the desk looked for someone to take me back to my father. She could not find anyone so she decided to take me herself. She asked me if I remembered the room number and since I had only been there one time, I did not. So she needed to look that up as well.
Once we were all ready, we walked back to his room where a nurse walked out. The woman informed the nurse that I was his daughter and I was here to visit. The nurse then said, I am so sorry, we were about to call you, your father just passed.
But they didn’t call me. I had been home all morning and the night before. I sat in my car for ten minutes where my phone never rang. No one called me to tell me my father was "actively dying" and he was all alone. This was 15 hours later after speaking to the facility and being told I could not see him without appt unless he was activity dying.
My father passed in December, it is now April and this is the first time I have been able to express my dissatisfaction with this facility.

You also had to have a Covid negative test on file, which I completely understand. However, once my father began going down hill, we were not permitted any additional time to see him. It was very important to me to be with him when he passed, and we knew it would be any time at this point. On my last visit with him, he appeared to me to be in decline. His eyes were fixated however he was still squeezing my hand. The next evening, I spoke with our Social worker that acted as a go between with our family and the facility. She spoke with the facility expressing my concerns and once again we were told we could not have more access to him unless he was actively dying. She and I both told the facility that I could be there in ten minutes at any point in time he began actively dying. Our plan was for me to visit with him the next morning and from there make a decision on whether or not to bring him home for his final hours/days.
My appoint was at 9 the next morning. I had been home getting ready to go. I got to the facility, waited in my car for about ten minutes because I was early and they were pretty strict on appointment times. Once I went in, I had to sign the same paperwork I had signed earlier in the week and get PPE’ed up. A woman in the office stopped me to tell me they were planning to move my father to a private room after their morning meeting then the woman behind the desk looked for someone to take me back to my father. She could not find anyone so she decided to take me herself. She asked me if I remembered the room number and since I had only been there one time, I did not. So she needed to look that up as well.
Once we were all ready, we walked back to his room where a nurse walked out. The woman informed the nurse that I was his daughter and I was here to visit. The nurse then said, I am so sorry, we were about to call you, your father just passed.
But they didn’t call me. I had been home all morning and the night before. I sat in my car for ten minutes where my phone never rang. No one called me to tell me my father was "actively dying" and he was all alone. This was 15 hours later after speaking to the facility and being told I could not see him without appt unless he was activity dying.
My father passed in December, it is now April and this is the first time I have been able to express my dissatisfaction with this facility.

Pecan Manor accepts a variety of payments including Medicaid which most of these places do not, which I understand. It looks like a nursing facility, which gave us a little set back at first because it was really hard for my two daughters to acknowledge that their father needed to be in a nursing facility. However, the first thing that impressed me was their staff. I went there eight different times before we decided, and I went there sometimes unannounced, but I never once saw anyone who was short-tempered with the residents or any of that. They are extremely pleasant, loving, and smiling. They’re caring for my husband physically. Every time I go there, he has been kept clean. Also I rarely walked through the front door with them not hugging me. It’s been a good experience given our circumstances. The staff is mostly younger staff and they’re loving to the residents. They also have lots of activities like bingo and even for residents who can’t really comprehend how to do that any longer, they help them so that they can feel like they’re playing. They also have entertainment that comes in for them.

Lexington Place is very nice place. We are going through refurbishing, new paint, new curtains, and it’s very clean. We had flood problems in September and a lot of the walls had to be replaced. We’re refurbishing the whole nursing center. The staff is wonderful. It’s a big family. We have activities twice a day, seven days a week. We have exercises, music, question and answer sessions, bible reading, crafts, schools and churches come in and sing during the holidays, and we have church services. I also teach bible study on Tuesdays, so we stay pretty busy. We are short on help, but they’re interviewing and training CNAs right now. There are plenty of halls and I am able to walk whenever I want. If anybody walks in the door, there’s a nurse or a CNA out there to check them in.

My wife stayed at Glenview Wellness and Rehabilitation. It wasn’t too bad. They had her in a private room at first which was nice, but they sent her to semi-private when she was moved to Medicaid. She liked the doctor there real well. They allowed pets, so she got to see her dog. The food was about average. The physical therapy was excellent. They tried to take care of her every day. She got out for Bingo a few times, but they had good activities there. They brought a couple of dogs in for visits for other residents. The temperature of the room was too warm and that bothered her.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Arlington, Texas
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
