Nursing Home Communities in Jacksonville, 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 wife is in the memory care unit at Meadow Lake. I was in there with her yesterday. I took her out and we walked around for maybe a quarter mile. It does not have a whole lot of people on the memory care side, which I kinda like, so they make sure they get a lot of attention from the staff. They have activities for them, they have an activities director, they have a TV where they can go in and watch TV, they play games, they have church meetings, they have people come in and play music, and they play bingo. They had a lot of turnover within the last two years, but they're doing much better now. They were one of five places that we visited here in town, and this one was the best in my opinion. They are on their third director since my wife went in there, but they're doing really well, and they're being really responsive now. Food is great. They have their own little dining facility in the memory care area. Meadow Lake itself has a restaurant, and for special occasions, I will take my wife and we will walk down there, and she likes that special treat when we will eat at the restaurant, so that's nice, and I like that, too. Their facilities are good, but it got hit with that rolling blackout when we had the freeze here in Texas, so that kinda hurt. They actually got the generators brought in real quick. Surprisingly enough, it was one of the least expensive, and they got a lot more attention from the staff. It is very clean, and they keep it up-to-date, so it is excellent."

"My friend was at The Center at Grande. That was a good place. They had good food there. He went to physical therapy. He liked having bacon every morning with his breakfast. He liked the food. His room was nice and clean. He even would have his TV on sometimes. And they took him to his doctor's appointment. I'll meet them at the doctor's office. He went and got a haircut and his beard shaved off, and he had a manicure and a pedicure. I never saw the dining area, but he always ate his meals in his room. They had a little activity room. If they were busy or if he was in therapy, I went in and worked on a puzzle. There was a little activity room. There was an outdoor space, but I never went and checked it out. I could see it from the parking lot. I'm not sure how big it was because I only saw part of it. I think daily he had physical therapy, Monday through Friday."

"My stepfather is a resident of The Heights of Tyler. The place is amazing. The activities and the care that they provide are outstanding, I could not be happier. The staff, and everybody there, truly care about their residents. The facility one is very clean, and it stays clean. I have never found that facility or his room to be dirty. They take care of their residents and keep them clean. The activities that they recently did, were trunk or treat, which was a large activity. Then they had trick or treating, and also provided an outstanding Veteran's Day program and honored their veterans, which my stepfather is one of them. They have things coming up next month and all kinds of activities every day. They offer Bible study classes, games, and Bingo. There are so many things that they offer that get the residents out of their rooms to where they just have something to do and not just lay in the bed. We have kind of adopted his roommate, too. When we bring stuff to the facility for my stepdad, I bring extra for his roommate because they are two peas in a pod. His roommate is wheelchair-bound, and a lot of times you'll see his roommate pushing his walker and he's pushing the wheelchair."

"My stay at Providence Park was awesome. Everyone was so good and friendly and took care of all my needs. Thank you, Rose Elia "

"My friend was at Waterton Healthcare & Rehabilitation. I didn't like it. There was a conflict with the medication. Before he had emergency surgery, he could dress himself and get coffee and make cereal in the morning. And now, he couldn't even sit down by himself when he came back. They overdosed him. They didn't listen to me when I told them the medication wasn't right. The staff was not very friendly. In the 20 days he was there, they moved him to three different rooms, and I don't know why. The rooms were nice. They were clean and he had physical therapy there. When my friend went there from the hospital, he was talkative and interactive and he could carry on a conversation. However, the last few times I went to visit, he was tired and sleepy. When I went to get him, he couldn't walk by himself and he couldn't even sit down anymore. The facility was nice, new, and clean. When he went there, he was able to walk with a cane, and then, later on, he couldn't walk by himself, and they never said anything about it. "

"We chose to move mom to Azalea Heights because of the cost. The care has been great. It's good. The staff is also good. They're very nice and very helpful. It's an older facility, but it's very clean and neat. They always have it decorated pretty for the holidays. We went to the business office and they've helped us a lot with the insurance. The move was smooth, and Mom seemed to be happy. So, we're pleased. They do a lot of activities. They paint nails (they call them "pretty nails"), they watch movies, they play games, they go outside if they want to, and they go on trips if they can (if they're able). They also have people that come in and sing and all that kind of stuff."

"My mother was a resident in the Memory Care unit at Briarcliff from 2017 to 2018. Her needs increased as her situation worsened, having both dementia and cancer, along with a very painful arthritic hip. The staff there was very patient with her, very sweet and attentive. I never saw any sign of neglect of her or anyone. I don't see how the staff could handle all of the challenges, from Mom and others, but they took them all in stride, and were always nice to me, too. The place was always clean, and the staff was quick to handle any questions or issues. I would recommend Briarcliff to anyone."

"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 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."

"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. "

"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. "

"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. "
