Nursing Home Communities in Killeen, TX

"My Mom had been there for 3 plus years. While at times, they were short-handed, the staff who took care of my mom were very kind and caring to her. During her last days on earth, they accommodated the family with a private room, coffee and snacks, and extra care that you could not get if she had been in hospital. Staff members took their time to come and check on her while we were there, even if they had other things going on. I will always be grateful. There is no perfect nursing home, but the staff tried their best to do for the residence. As any job, there are some bad apples and that reflects the overall image of the place. "

"I Refuse to give them even one star. They have almost killed my mother for lack of oxygen an supervision. She has been verbally abused by the employees and physically abused by another resadent. Mind you she was only there for 4days. We are currently in search of a new place for her. They offer nothing but excuses to everything that happens there. "

"I was in Park Place Manor, and it was good. It was clean. The people that took care of me were good. I told them if I ever had to go back into one, that's where I would go. The only thing I had a problem with was the food, but I talked to the head of the kitchen and told him, "You need to do something about this" and they started fixing it. I was ambulatory. They had people that couldn't get out of bed. They had people that were in wheelchairs and they took them to the dining room and they had to feed them. They had all levels of care there. They take great care of their people. They have some things they need to improve, but they are trying. When I told them that, the kitchen started being better, we started getting better food and the care started getting better. I was in the rehab center for about three weeks. When I got there, I was getting cold food. When I left, we were getting hot food. I talked to the director, I said, "You have to go in there and eat what we eat. You need to tell your people when we ask for a shower, then give us one." They put us on a schedule because of the fact that they had so many of us. Since COVID, healthcare professionals are quitting work, and our healthcare professionals are working 12-hour shifts. They are doing a very good job having to work 12-hour shifts. We had all kinds of activities. We had exercises, games, and movie nights. The girls would come down and get us for physical activities. They had a room that was set up and they made sure we did our physical activity every day. I was in there because of a fall and they would walk me and get me to where I could walk better. By the time I got out of there, I was walking really well. They are the cleanest rehab center around here. They give you great value for the money that you have to pay. I met a lady when I was there, and she'd been there for two years. She got a great value for the money she had to pay. When she went in, she couldn't walk. She was stuck in the bed and every place else was trying to take everything that she made. After that, she was up and walking, she could dress herself, and take care of herself. There were a couple of other ladies that were going home about the same time I was. They went in and they couldn't do anything. When they left, they were able to take care of themselves and they were going to go home to family. The girls that work with you want to see you get well and be able to move and take care of yourself. The nurses are the same, they want you to take care of yourself and be able to do things."

"The administrator at Marlandwood West is great. We are glad to have him."

"I went to visit a friend's mother and couldn't believe the great care she was given. The staff was very friendly and eager to help. "

"My mom will be moving in. We liked it a lot. It was very homey. They had a lot of caregivers there. However, it seemed a little bit crowded to me. It seemed like there were a lot of people there. The staff members were very friendly and very helpful. They were very excited to talk to us and gave us a lot of information. The facility was not what I expected, but it was very, very good. For activities, they were very busy. They were doing group activities. There were a lot of people in there, and they were all engaged, and it looked like they were having a good time."

"I am so happy with this place. My mother was so sick when she went there, and thanks to the staff, and especially thanks to their fine medical director, Dr. Kreis, she is home again and living independently. I thought she was going in for good, but they made her better! It was more than I ever could have expected! "

"As we face the hardest transition in my mom’s care, Cornerstone Gardens has provided her with excellent care. My mom’s care is tough; the team works together to help her get better. James and Kathy are great nurses who have been more than happy to answer my questions and take time to call me as needed. Falyn from PT is super sweet to my mom. Rhonda, the social worker has been very helpful with providing me with info about mom’s plan of care and community resources. Ryan, the director is great too. The facility is very clean. "

"My dad is at Hillside Medical Lodge for rehab. Everybody has been very friendly, very nice, and very helpful. The room is probably a little smaller compared to when he was in an actual assisted living, but they keep everything very nice. They take very good care of him, so I don't have any complaints. I haven't tasted the food, but he seems to enjoy it. I would say it is worth the money because they do a very good job with him."

"I had an in-person tour of the William R. Courtney Texas State Veterans Home. I liked the cleanliness and the fact that they had a full activity calendar so that even though he's suffering from dementia, he has an opportunity to do things. They also said that there are veterans who come out and volunteer and take the vet out on day trips, maybe to the mall or out to eat. They take them to a park or something like that. The activities and the cleanliness stood out to me. The staff members are all very nice as well and willing to help. They had multiple dining rooms, which I thought was good. They also had multiple places of worship for them."

"RehabLiving at The Meadows was a very nice facility. The staff who assisted me with the tour was very professional, very nice, and very helpful. The building was recently remodeled and it was very nice. They had physical therapy, planned activities, art rooms, exercise rooms, and TV rooms. The courtyard looked very nice. We were very impressed with the place. It was all one story, and it had a very nice layout."

"Spring Oaks is smaller and a little less expensive because it's in a smaller town. But the nurse to patient ratio is quite high. The place is not so bright and cheerful or warm. However, the physical therapy department is quite good. The rooms are not bad. It's a little bit basic and plain, but they have nice television. "

"My father is in Regal Health Care. Our experience has been good, so far, but he has only been there for three weeks. It is small, and the staff is friendly and informative. The room is nice and clean. Their memory care unit offers more one-on-one care, and the patients cannot get out. "
