Nursing Home Communities in Irving, TX

"In July a lifelong friend found out she had metastatic cancer. She first went to Northgate plaza for rehabilitation but her insurance ran out and they dismissed her. Chris at Ashford Hall helped us immediately. My friend had no money no home and could not work. She was alone and Ashford took her with only Medicare and Medicaid pending. She was given excellent care until she passed away in November. Everyone treated her with respect and care. I cannot begin to thank this home for the love and care she was given. They managed her pain as it continued to get worse. Because she was Medicaid pending they did not receive any money. We worked with them and with there help we were able to get her on Medicaid before her death. We want others to be able to get care when they need it even if they do not have money. The nursing home was clean and I am Registered Nurse and was impressed with her care and compassion. Thank you again for taking care of my dear friend. You were a blessing to her and her friends. "

"My dad was at Avanté Rehabilitation Center two years ago, so I am familiar with the place and have never been dissatisfied with them. My mother is there right now and I am probably keeping her there for the long term. They just have a waiting list and it's full. They have some activities, like bingo and things like that, so it's a very highly recommended place."

"I was treated with respect. I saw the nurses being very gentle with my grandmother; they did not fuss about visiting hours or anything else. Patients had enough space and privacy as needed. I personally have seen them give my grandmother food in a timely manner. I did not hear about anything negative from my grandmother even with the language barrier that is in the way. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 because it is a small nursing home but it was available at that time and we got lucky because it was an emergency situation. She did pass a year later but her last few days were with our family and they get respect for treating her properly during that time. "

"My husband is at Pate Rehabilitation Center, and they are housing him and working toward rehabbing him. They are unbelievably wonderful. The staff members are proactive. They are caring beyond caring, and they are just absolutely wonderful. If they see something that he needs, they are very proactive about getting it done. For instance, his toenails are really thick, and I've been unable to clip him. They had a spa day at the facility this past weekend and saw that he needed a podiatrist to do his nails. They made an appointment, reached out to me, told me what had gone on, and said, "We'd like to make an appointment with the podiatrist to get his nails done," and I said "Yes, please do it." They are just wonderful. He's in a shared room, and he's comfortable. It's a bed and the basics, with a bathroom nearby. They have a common area, where he goes with the rest of the residents. It provides a safe place for him to sleep, and a safe place for him to be. They feed him. They give him his meds at night, and then get him ready for rehab the next day. The food is really tasty. I don't know how healthy it is, but it's very good. They cook fresh food. I noticed they had brisket (and for a heart patient that's not the best meat to have), but he ate it and loved it. The cooking is great. It's delicious. They are a little bit limited as to what they can do with the residents. They are all in wheelchairs. They just published a calendar where they're gonna start taking them outdoors for picnics and start doing things. The most important thing for families to know is that there are places out there like Pate that will evaluate your loved one. Pate does something different with regard to rehab. They don't judge a patient by today's capabilities. They judge a patient by future capabilities, and what they believe they are gonna be able to do for that patient. I think that's really important."

"I chose Monarch Pavilion Rehabilitation Suites, and my dad is very happy there. He likes it. The staff is very good. "

"They took care of my great-grandma and great-grandpa for several years. They had lots of activities for the residents to do and enjoy. They were always warm with everybody and welcomed family members. Very personal and caring staff. When my grandma told me she was putting my great-grandparents in a nursing home, I was hesitant, but this is an exception. I see absolutely no flaws at this place. Residents have a nice place to go to outdoors to enjoy, if they wish to. The door has a password so that the residents that are more in need do not escape and run out. The food in the nursing home is also surprisingly good. They also take the residents out to places on the bus a lot. All religions are respected at the nursing home. Again, a very friendly, personal, warm staff. The activities director, Paulette, is very sweet. I highly recommend this place! They will treat your loved ones with care. "

"Under new management and many new changes made great facility DON and Administration always on top of what’s going on with patient and staff family friend current in facility !! No smell no mess very home like . Activities for not only For residents but some are for families to join "

"My mom had a seizure and had to stay at Sandy Lake rehab for 3 weeks. She had a good experience. The nursing staff did amazing with my mom. They went above and beyond. The lady who does activities with the residence was also amazing. She encouraged participation and would go help residence get down for bingo etc. I was very thankful for their care. I do wish we saw the doctors more often and that the food was a little better. However the doctors had good communication with me throughout her stay and the cafeteria ladies were wonderful. The rooms were private and I appreciated that. I wish the community would donate supplies for the bingo winners etc. I hope this review helps. We are local coppell residence. "

"My husband is in The Traymore at Park Cities, and I think our experience has been pretty positive. The staff would stay on top of things. If there's a change in his medication or anything like that, they call me. Or when the doctor prescribes a new medication, I would get a text. I feel really good that they keep me updated on what's going on. My husband stayed there for respite because I had to have surgery. They offer physical therapy, they did trips and bake cookies every day. They also keep things out for the residents like coffee and tea every day. The food was very good. They chopped his food really fine for him so it'll be easier to chew. I'm going to rate this community a 5 because everybody is nice, friendly, and helpful. I like that I'm free to call when I need to talk to somebody like the nurse, and they always keep me updated. They have quite a few of those activities. As far as what they offer I would rate them a 5, even though my husband doesn't participate. The VA is the one paying for his expenses there."

"Overall, my experience with Lakewest was a good one. The facility is relatively new, as it just opened last summer (2011). Lakewest is beautifully decorated, not at all like a traditional nursing home. One very comforting safety feature they have is that the interior doors are code activated so no one can enter or exit without the staff knowing. When you walk in, you are immediately struck by how much care went into making the facility feel like an upscale resort or hotel - even the patients' rooms had dark wood floors and furniture. The facility has quite a few common areas set up like living rooms for families to congregate in and visit with their loved ones. The staff is very attentive and just about everyone treated my grandmother like a family member instead of resident. I feel quite confident that my grandmother received the best care at Lakewest. "

"My grandpa was at Forum Parkway. It was really nice. They have game nights, they have speakers that come in and talk with them, they have little meetings to go over plans, and they have different activities to get out of the room to meet up with each other. He said the food was great; however, it was an older place. They had studio rooms. He had a roommate. There were two to each room and he didn't like that. He liked the staff members. It wasn't too expensive, but not too low either."

"Mom is at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Memphis. It is a very well-maintained, well-kept facility. The grounds, the rooms, the common areas, and everything is maintained very well. The rooms are great. They have a great staff and great services. They are very professional and very well educated. They offer rehab, so there's speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. It is run very well."

"My mother was a resident at Grapevine Medical Lodge for about four months. GML provided around the clock nursing care and a hospice company provided hospice care. One of the first things I noticed was that the staff at GML dressed mom in clean clothes every day and they encouraged her to get up, visit with other residents, go outside and participate in activities. Mom's room was spacious, clean and she had a nice large window. The staff all knew my mother and would speak very well of her whenever I visited. I was pleased with the care mom received at Grapevine Medical Lodge. No place is perfect, but the attention and nursing care Mom received was better than I could have given her at home, and I don't believe anywhere else would have done a better job treating her with kindness, gentleness and respect. Her regular CNA, Johnny was a favorite as he was always willing to help me and her with anything she needed. "

"My brother in law was a resident at Metroplex 8/08-2/12. He received very good care. He resided on the Secured unit and was always clean and the activites were support. My family and I attended the Resident's council. This group helped us understand the rules and regulation. Some families expect one-on-one and that is not the case. We would go back again if services for LTC are needed again. Thanks Metroplex!!! "
