Nursing Home Communities in Lockhart, TX

"My husband is currently staying in San Marcos Rehabilitation & Health Care. I'm not happy at all with him being in the memory care unit; They are locked down for two weeks because they had a staff person test positive for COVID, so patients are in quarantine. It's an older facility, and I was very unhappy with the room he's in. The furniture was ancient, and the whole hallway smelled of urine. I don't know how often the housekeeping might be working on that, but they do have housekeeping in there most of the time. The staff is helpful. There have been a couple of incidents where I call at least 30 minutes ahead of time to make sure he is cleaned and bathed or showered and changed. There are incontinence issues, so I make sure to tell them, to make sure they have a brief on him. There are more than several incidents where they did not do all of the above. I was not very happy because he did have some accidents out in the different visitor sections where there were other visitors present. They receive three meals and two snacks. In his hallway, outside is a little living room area with a TV in there. They do have a fairly new social activities director; they were doing a balloon volleyball. Medicaid is paying for his care, at this point, I am not out of pocket on any money."

"I've been to Legend Oaks a few times. I had a really good experience with this facility. They seemed to have everything. They're attentive, they take care of their patients' needs, and they are willing to transport them to church services and to programs that they have. They have singing and bingo. One of my friends who was there had a lot of behavioral problems and they worked to try and look after his safety. The facility seemed to be clean. I didn't see any problems. The staff was responsive to the needs of the people in the nursing section. They go the extra mile to make sure that they're able to get out of bed, and they have a good physical therapy program."

"I was in Hays Nursing & Rehab Center. They were competent. The staff was fine. The problem that I had with the place was the food. It was bland and not very interesting. It was clean and well-maintained. They had bingo and some group activities. The rooms were too small."

"My mom was in rehab at Regent Care Center Of San Marcos. They kept the place nice and clean. The layout was very good too. They seemed to have the amount of the staff that they need. The staff was good, and the care was good too. The dining area was well organized and clean. The food was good too. My mom is not a very social person, but she did enjoy doing their crafts. They also tried to get her involved. They have games and they have church services, which meant a lot to my mom."

"My mom is in Cypress Healthcare and Rehabilitation. They think very highly about the staff. The staff is caring, they care about the patients. They're really good about notifying me if something happens like when my mom fell, and they made sure that I was aware and family members were aware. Then they continued to check on her that same afternoon to make sure, and they gave us a lot of good updates. They go into her room and take all the equipment for the therapy that they need that day. That's all the activities she's doing right now. They have good things here, and there's also a living center on one side of the hall. They have good equipment."

"Onion Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is well organized and the nurses and staff are real friendly. The layout of my mother's room is just like a normal room for a nursing home, but it's clean and well-kept. The meals looked well prepared, very good, and nutritious. The common area they have there is like a living room/TV room. It is well-kept, very clean, and very organized, too."

"This is a wonderful facility. My dad loves the staff and they love him. I highly recommend this facility to everyone. They are attentive to his needs and the therapy is great. "

"Southpark Meadows was clean. They just didn't seem to care a lot about the patients. They were not attentive. I asked when they were going to change my mother, and the staff said to let her finish what she's doing. Five minutes later, I looked out in the hall and she was sitting down eating. She seemed irritated when I reminded her that she was going to come help. The rooms were OK, and the facilities were pretty good. The night shift seemed to be busy watching TV, eating, and visiting each other. They need to be more attentive to the needs of the people, at least in the nursing facility section. They need to shorten their response time when the patients ask for help."

"The Villa at Marbridge has a program which helps people who are memory retarded or handicapped, and they stressed on that. They treated my mom so good. They had people playing guitars and singing with the people, and I thought this is the life and not just letting the people line up down the hall. It was the best, and it was close to home. What made it good was the people who cared. My mom said the food was OK. "

"I think I had a lot of good therapy at Brodie Ranch Nursing & Rehab Center. The therapists and the workers would come every day and work with me. I got my medicine on time. I tried to go back there but found out that people were having changes with the staff right now and so the personnel who had been in charge didn't call me back unless they did and I didn't recognize the number. The staff, like the nurses and assistants, were really good but there would be times when I would need a shower and ask if I could get in the shower, I would get one but then nobody would show back up. I didn't like that. That was just a little assistance, but basically when I needed my medicine or whatever, I got everything. Those six months were good, that's why they were able to let me go. They thought that I was doing rather better than a lot of the other people. One other reason that I was told to leave was because there was some difference of opinion about my finances and my check, but other than that, it was good. Our breakfast was cold by the time we got it because they had four different sections there. It was about the same thing every day like eggs and maybe oatmeal. It was the same meal with a slice of bacon and that was it. To me, it's a nice facility. The one activity that they had basically for me was bingo. They said they have activities together for the seniors like playing some kind of basketball with a balloon or sitting in the dining room and watching TV, but the only activity I liked to do was to sit outside."

"My brother is in West Oak Rehab and Healthcare Center, and it is a very good facility. Their physical therapy department is incredible. However, there is an unfortunate experience; somebody robbed my brother, but no one knows what happened. Overall, the physical therapy and the nursing are excellent. The follow up is great. I think it is an excellent facility. They go beyond what you really expect. The sanitation is very good. "

"My husband was at Riverside on and off for 5 months. The caring loving respect and help we received was excellent. The staff superb and the facility excellent. I have never met such caring people before. He was in another rehab center and we took him out as soon as possible. Everyone from the housekeeping staff to the director are really involved in a persons care. I just can't express my thanks enough "

"Southwood Care Center is tucked away on a cul-de-sac, so it is quiet. It's all one story so residents who can walk or propel their own wheelchairs can get outside when they want which is great. My mom lived there for several years and although there was of course some staff turnover, there was enough continuity that she always seemed to have someone to take an interest in her personally. The activity director works really hard within her budget to have a variety of things for the residents to do. It was cool also because they sometimes let family members hold memorial services there for residents who have passed away so that their friends can easily pay their respects. This is great for long-term residents. It is always clean and I found the staff to be responsive. It's an older facility but they are working to keep it up. The food service lady is a long-term employee and very conscientious. "

"Dad wound up in rehab for a week at Legend Oaks Healthcare And Rehabilitation New Br. The facility was nice and clean. The staff was friendly. There were two to a room, with each one having a bathroom. They had a very good outdoor enclosed area for them to sit, which is one of his main things because he likes to go outside. What I did not like was the reluctancy of the CNA to help get them clean and showered when they are resistant. They have dementia, they're difficult patients, and sometimes you have to be persistent and come back and come back again, and that wasn't happening, so I had to go in and shower him. The physical therapy evaluator was wonderful. She tried to get him to walk with her and use the walker because he hadn't used the walker. The facility overall was a good facility, but the CNA lacked of wanting to assist them. They had a church service on Sunday and we all attended there together. They have a game in their eating space. They have a clothing locker, and for the clients who didn't have a lot of clothing and were probably there long term, the girls came in and said, "Hey, do you need a blanket? Here's a blanket." The meal was pretty decent. He was on a mechanical sauce, and everything was cut up really well. I would give the OT/PT people a five. I don't know what the cost was because he was fully covered by his insurance plan."
