Nursing Home Communities in Decatur, TX

"I do not think Select Rehabilitation Hospital of Denton was that good. My wife said it was. I do not think I could be a fair judge of it. I have lived there for a while. The staff was very distant. I just really did not think that much of them myself. It was not that nice. I was satisfied, and it was clean, but there wasn’t anything spectacular. "

"Vintage Retirement Community has a really cute, homey apartment with a kitchenette, unfurnished, one bedroom, one bath and a living room. My stepmom and dad really like it; they've been there for about two weeks now and are doing well. The staff is very nice. "

When you are faced with a hospitalization due to an injury, illness or a surgery, all you can think about is getting better and returning home. We offer all the advanced, post hospital rehabilitation services that you will need to make this possible. We are different because you will be directly involved in the development of your individual Safe Transition Home Program as our team of experts provide the guidance, rehabilitation support, and all the physical therapy treatment options you will need to be successful.The qualified professionals on your rehabilitation therapy care plan team include: your physicians and/or nurse practitioner, registered and licensed vocational nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapist, (and if needed speech therapist), a dietician, dietary staff, social worker, certified nurse s aides, recreation staff, consulting pharmacist, and other supportive staff members. Contact us so we can begin working with your Physician and the Hospital Discharge Planners/Case Manager or other care providers to arrange your care coordination transition and prepare for your arrival. We will meet with you and your family and answer all your questions and help you through this difficult time. Your physician will provide all the initial instructions for your rehabilitation care and then we meet to set your specific Transitional physical therapy Care goals and establish your individual rehabilitation care plan. Once the plan is established, we both get to work. You will have a far better chance to recover if you are fully informed of your rehabilitation care options and sign off on your own recovery plan.

"My Dad (Papa) chose this facility for personal reasons and spent his last couple of months well taken care of. They coordinated services with our hospice provider and treated my Dad with great care. Many of the staff treated him like family and the other residents became his extended family! They offer great recreational opportunities and meal options! Any concerns we had were always immediately addressed and followed up on! We were especially impressed with the administrator, Drew, who was responsive, always on the floor helping as well as knew everyone's name and preferences. Thank You-"

"I found the staff at Belmire to be extremely friendly and polite- completely ideal of what you would expect in a small town where everyone seemed to know one another. The amenities were older, but did not seem outdated. It appeared to me that the patients would have everything that they could possibly need so it didn't need to be a brand new place with fancy equipment. There were two things that stood out to me most: the patients there seemed generally happy and the staff did not neglect them. The stereotypical view of nursing homes is that the patients are all miserable and alone, but these patients were happy and had plenty to keep the preoccupied. Also the staff that I have experienced at other nursing homes are very rude, ignore the patients, and only have interaction with them when they make their forced rounds. Some staff members are obviously exceptions, but here every staff member I encountered was cheery and seemed to love their job. They interacted with the patients, they knew them, and they would even be talking to them when it didn't appear they were having to do rounds (instead of playing on Facebook like most of the other people I have seen).

"I’m seriously looking for a reasonably priced clean well run nursing facility that I would be comfortable rehabilitating in after a stroke and other health problems. The Harrison at Heritage is that facility with friendly helpful staff, from the receptionist to the nursing and therapy staff. Having seen a number of facilities over the years the Harrison stands out "

"From the moment my brother and I stepped foot into Denton Rehab and Nursing Services, we felt at peace. The facility looked and smelled clean, had friendly staff members, and felt like home. Oakley gave us a tour, answered our questions, and helped us with the admission process. We knew that our father would be well-cared for as he received therapy to improve his overall health. He was excited and so were we. Cyrus (his nurse) made him immediately feel comfortable. Tiffany (the evening supervisor) worked with us so they could best help my father. When my father's health took a turn due to his cancer, the staff members were informative, empathetic, and truly took care of our family in addition to our father. The Assistant Director of Nurses, Kim, helped us to understand what was happening with him, and stayed by our side throughout his last two days caring for him, holding our hands, and crying with us. Sharon (daytime nurse) and Cyrus (evening nurse) kept my father comfortable and attended to his needs. Our family felt supported and at peace. Words do not adequately express the care we received at Denton Rehab and Nursing Services. Five stars does not seem like enough."

"I think most rooms are single. All that I could see,other than my own, were ones with open doors. They were all, with out exception, very lovely and personal. Since I was there for physical therapy, I didn't get to participate in anything ambulatory. I know we had church services, gospel sing-a-longs, and professional entertainment. There was something going on daily for various groups. I really enjoyed the food. Home style. My last day there, we had ham, cabbage, sweet potatoes, and cornbread. What could better. The staff were amazing. I got a great cut and style from Pam. The nurses and CNA's were very attentive and working long hours, as are medical professionals world-wide. Linda was very sympathetic and kind. I have to save space for my wonderful therapist, Janus and Briana. You guys are the best! "

"Wow, we are so impressed with the remodel by the new owners and the new employees were very polite and helpful. Mom loves this home because she has a view of Lake Worth. They show Mom so much love and the food is amazingly great! Oh, I found them on Facebook."
