Nursing Home Communities in Giddings, TX

"My impression of Oakland Manor is very good. There aren't much activities, but they have a little karaoke, church service, and encourage the seniors to play dominoes. It's an older building built in '91, so it's kind of limited. They have a cafeteria, PT/OT/Speech area, shower area, and living room in the front. It is the people who make the place better because the staff is very good and caring. They have a van for transportation, but it's a very bumpy ride and most of the residents are uncomfortable on it. Another positive thing about them is that they have a very varied menu, and the food tastes good. They are actually the cheapest of the nursing homes we've been to so far. Not by much, but they have the best value."

"The rooms are really small, but the people seem nice and seem to be caring "

"My parents were both residents, and well taken care of until they passed. However, in order to help the provider, I often paid in advance. When my mother passed unexpectedly in October, I had already paid for November and December. Since I had already paid first and last month when she went in, I asked to be refunded the two extra months I paid in advance after she died. After many requests, I have never received a refund. Just don't pay in advance. "

"I have my mom there for almost 2yrs and half. It was real nice going there and see the patients around the activity room doing something. Lately I have noticed that they are not doing to much. I used to go around 2 and they here doing activities or playing something. Lately I have seen the patients playing by them self around 2 and them from there they go play bingo. Before, after having bingo the would had happy hour or other things like tasting food they baked there for them. The other day I hurt a resident complaining that they don’t do to much an more. They used to have a lot more residence coming to play or come to happy hour. I thing the activity manager needs to do more again. The other two ladies that used to be there were a good team and work real with the residence. They got reed of one that used know what she was doing. Mel is not doing her job like she to it before."

"My father went to rehab for about eight weeks at Bastrop Lost Pines, and it was great, I wanted to move in. The food was great, and the care was great. Everything that we asked for, they took care of. They were very attentive to him. The staff really seemed to really care about the residents as opposed to other places that I've been. They really were well suited for that career because they were real caregivers. I really felt like my dad was in the hands of a family member. The rooms were plain, but it was definitely functional. There were two beds to a room. You could have a private room if you wanted, and you could bring your own stuff in. It was clean, and there was no weird smell. It was just awesome. "

"My husband and I are always impress with the service they give his father my father in law when we use respite care at Sliver Pine Nursing & Rehabilitation in Bastrop Texas. Its nice to know when we have to drop our father off here for days at a time per year to get us a break or vacation he is in good hands. This nursing facility is always clean never smell like urinate and poop when we drop him off, even when we pop up. Administrator is very knowledgeable and loving. Our father have been coming here well over 3yrs and no matter when he comes back the staffing of all levels knows him and is enthusiastic, loving and caring. We like that the staff knows he will get out of the bed so they put his bed all the way down and put a mat by the bed so he wouldn't fall out the bed because he like to crawl. We like when its time for us to pick our father up to bring him home the staff has him ready with all his stuff and we do not have to spend a long time there. Please keep the excellent work up because the VA only have two facility we can take him to and this was the one we chose. Thank you all so much from EN."
