Nursing Home Communities in Gladewater, TX

"My mother-in-law moved into The Willows of Kilgore. It came highly recommended from other stroke victims. The staff has been excellent. They have a craft room and visiting entertainers who come and play music for them, and they participate in the Senior Olympics. They serve three meals a day."

"My grandmother was here for years and we always had a positive experience. I would recommend it! "

"Longview Hill Nursing And Rehabilitation Center had the secure dementia unit that we were looking for, and it was only women, so that was important. It was clean, bright, didn't smell bad, and the staff and the residents that we saw on the tour looked happy and satisfied. We also had a family there in the past and they said they were good. Medicaid only pays for a semi-private, so that's what my mom will have. It's in a secure hallway that they can't get out of without somebody who knows the code. Each semi-private room has a bathroom and a shower. This had a toilet, sink, and shower that just the two people in the room had to share. They also do therapy. We looked at the list of activities on the board and they had a lot going on, like bingo and stuff. They have their own little sitting area with a TV, couches, and tables, and then they have their own enclosed little courtyard that they can go in and out of. Everything was nice looking. It's been recently remodeled and it was bought out by Regency Health Services, I believe, just last year."

"The staff was very attentive. The rooms were clean and the food was specialized for my special needs."

"My brother is staying at Arbor Grace Guest Care Center. He likes doing the exercises with everybody, and he likes the food there. His room is adequate for him, and it's what he likes. They have a dining room. They play bingo and some groups come in. The staff there do their jobs. The place is clean, and it doesn't smell."

"They took care of my dad in every way possible. Good people and always a smile on there face."

"Havencare Nursing and Rehabilitation Center LLC was an older building, so it's not as fresh, but the people were nice, it looked clean, and didn't smell bad. The person who toured us was very nice too. It had a good vibe. We were interested in the semi-private room, but the bathrooms in those just had a toilet and a sink. The shower rooms too were separate in the hall."

"I went to Whispering Pines Lodge I, but it was more of a nursing facility and my cousin didn't need that. She would have a shared bedroom, and it just didn't fit my cousin. It's a little bit older. It was more of a hospital atmosphere. The staff was wonderful. She wouldn't have gotten choices there. You just eat what they give you. They had bingo that was going on while I was there and they just had a Halloween party."

"My great grandmother was in Sunshine Nursing Home in New London, Tx where she developed bed sores and had nurses stealing her personal belongings. My family had heard good things about Overton Nursing Home so we decided to move her there. We were very pleased with our decision. She died in this home, and hospice/staff were there for us. Looking back, I would do it all again. "

"The staff at Park Place Nursing & Rehabilitation Center does not respond immediately when my dad presses his call button. When they do, they tend to his needs but not adequately. It has a sad environment because a lot of people are out in the hallways yelling to help them, but the staff said not to mind them because they don’t know what they need."

"My grandmother is in Azalea Place, and she loves it. It is really good. We have a really great experience with everything. All of it is amazing. The sanitation is really good. It is super clean. I tried their food, and it is good. "

"I have visited The Clairmont Nursing Home approximately ten times over the past three years. The Clairmont has recently been renovated (within the past couple of years) and has become a very nice looking home. I have had positive experiences while visiting with nursing home staff. They provide a good therapy program designed to help residents become more independant and possibly be able to go back home. The nursing home has 120 beds but it does not have that large nursing home feel to it. I have had a couple of friends that were residents of this nursing home and both them and their family was pleased with the care. I would trust placing loved one in this nursing home. The Clairmont is in a good location being within a mile of two hospitals and nearby many doctor's offices. While I believe this is a high quality care facility, I believe the food is average to below average from what I've seen. "

"I was thoroughly impressed with The Colonial. A friend of mine was previously employed there, and I decided to check it out to see if it would be a place I may want to volunteer for Hospice. The place was very clean, and the staff were all friendly and very helpful. I was given a tour of all wings and introduced to several clients. Every person I talked to made it a point to tell me how great the staff treated them, and several clients, as well as, employees welcomed me to volunteer. The dining hall was very large, and I was able to taste a sample of lunch. Pretty good! Most nursing homes/assisted living facilities have a certain unpleasant smell. The colonial smelled very clean. At no time was I subjected to urine or fecal odors.It may not sound like a big deal, but in a small town nursing home, it is! I have been to several nursing homes and assisted living facilities, but The Colonial is the only one that really impressed me in the east Texas area. "

"My husband is at UT Health Rehabilitation Hospital, and I would highly recommend this place. We had a good experience. The staff is excellent, and the food has been good. My husband is on a special diet here, and everything has to be chopped."
