Nursing Home Communities in Athens, TX

"This is an assisted living home/nursing home. I went there to visit my grandmother a few times. I stayed there and ate lunch with her. The food there was very good, and they gave decent portions. The nurses that worked there seemed really friendly but they seemed like they were pretty busy sometimes. One time I showed up there early to have breakfast with my grandma and i went into the kitchen area and there was an old man sitting at a table by himself. As I passed by him, I realized he was choking on something and his face was turning blue. I immediately called one of the workers over to help because I did not know CPR. The old man was fine, however if I had not shown up when I did he would be dead. That was my only concern with this facility. It was very nice. The rooms were very spacious and the other people staying there were friendly. "

"My mom was in this nursing home for 3 years and loved it there. She loved the nurses, the food, and the way she was treated. We offered to move her closer to one of her children but she wanted to stay there. The home never smelled bad and was always clean, so I knew my mom was being well taken care of. Thank you Patricia, Debbie, and the rest of the staff for your wonderful care."

"Canton Oaks was a nicer and newer place. It was easy to get to and it was only two years old. I liked the way it was arrange and designed. It was very clean. The admitting lady was knowledgeable and really nice. The residents that we passed through the halls seemed very friendly and happy. The rooms looked like it was a little bit bigger than the one we were going to. They had several TVs. "

"They did a good job with healthy food and cleanliness, but their interaction with residents was not what I would desire. Also, they weren't good about calling the doctor, hospital, or next of kin when medical care was needed. They would wait for local nurses to look over patients and try healing them for about a week before calling anyone. Because of this my grandfather's health ended up failing. The doctor who was finally called in said he wouldn't have lost his life if he would have received proper treatment sooner. "

"The home may be old, but the staff are VERY friendly. Everyone greets you as you enter and all are eager to help in any way. The food is the best I have ever since in a nursing home and they are always happy to offer a guest tray when I would visit. The facility is clean and the care is exceptional. The activities are wonderful and range from the traditional Bingo to silly string wars and hallway bowling. They even have a monthly painting party and the residents get to paint a canvas with the direction of an artist. It is a joy to watch this activity. They are active in our community and the staff and residents attend most of the parades and events and have participated in the multiple floats in our local parades. The rooms are small but are very homelike with personal items and decorations. They have multiple outdoor areas for residents and family to visit and the flowerbeds are beautiful I would highly recommend this facility to anyone with a loved one in need!!"

"I have several family members in the Facility. Me or my father visit several times a week. The staff are responsive and will always call you back if you have questions. My family members are happy with the care the staff provide my family members."

"Lakeside Health and Wellness is a rehabilitation center, but it's also a nursing home. They're pretty amazing. They had clean facilities. They took really good care of my grandmother. The staff was very personable, they knew her by name, and they formed a personal relationship with her. The rooms were big, clean, and modern. I used to go eat there with her, and they had really good food. Our experience was great. If she had to go back into a nursing home for any reason in the future, I would want something similar to that one, if not that one. I feel like, just across the board, nursing homes are crazy expensive, but they were actually cheaper than the rest. I couldn't find anything cheaper for better."
