Nursing Home Communities in Longview, TX

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

"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."

"When my wife was admitted she suffered from memory loss and prone to falling. I had no idea what to expect but due to the diligence of the staff her memory loss and ability to navigate without assistance has improved significantly. The entire staff is friendly and willing to assist in any way possible. The facility has bingo, Pastor visits and singing groups that the residents enjoy very much. The facility is kept sparkling clean at all times which is comforting to me. Last but not least, the staff has become like family to me and my wife."

"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 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."

"My mother-in-law is in Legend Oaks of Gladewater Rehabilitation & Nursing Center. So far, they've been excellent. The food has been decent. The rehab has been what it should be for her condition. She has a private room, but they don't promise that it'll continue to be private. It's clean, and they change the bedding regularly, and bathe her regularly. They have church and they have singing, and they have different activities. The place has been up-kept and painted. We talk to the nurses and they keep us informed. I can't think of anything that's gone wrong so far."

"My mother is in Gilmer Nursing & Rehabilitation for about a month now. It's very clean and smells fresh when you go in. That was a big selling point. The nurses are very kind and patient with her and they're willing to speak to me on the phone if I can't get by there, and she's getting really good care. She's in a private room. She's private pay for the first month until we can get assistance. It's very nice that it's cleaned once a day. They check her bed four or five times a day. It's nice and roomy, there's plenty of storage for her things, even if she does go into a room with a roommate, the rooms are a nice size, so they're not crowded together. It's convenient. My son lives less than a block away. It's not that far from me. It's easy in, easy out. Most of the time she says the food is good. Sometimes, of course, anything's off, especially in her situation. From what I've seen, the food looks really good and appetizing, and I think it's seasoned well. They have activities, they make a little snack before lunch and they do that three days a week. They offer bingo and the beauty salon is closed due to the COVID, but they offer a lot for her to do if she wants to."

"We chose Gilmer Nursing & Rehabilitation Center because it was recommended by the head of the physical therapy for what my mother needed, and also it took her insurance. She loves it, and she's real happy over there. I'm satisfied with it. She fell and broke her hip, and they had to send her over there for more rehab. I also wanted her in memory care there because she has Alzheimer's. The staff is really nice. I haven't had a problem. If my mother eats the food, it's got to be good. They don't have a problem with her eating, and she's a very picky eater. The facility has been there for quite a while, but they just did a renovation on it, so it's very well kept."

"We ended up placing my dad in Marshall Manor West. The place is old, but the biggest selling point is the staff who is very experienced. Most of the nurses have been there for at least 10 years, and they are very, very good with the patients. The way they handle the Alzheimer’s patients is totally amazing. That’s what really sold us on the place. The community is older and it is not as pretty as of the newer ones, but I think the experience of the nurses makes it so much better. My dad seems to be doing really well there. It looks like they have different kinds of puzzles, games, and things to do. They only have 12 to 15 Alzheimer’s patients and do a lot as a group, like sit and watch TV together and work on puzzles and different games. They just seem to really keep them busy. "

"This is the very best nursing home in the area. Staff are kind and considerate to residents and families. Quality Nursing and Therapy departments. Administration more then ready to correct any problems that may arise and are very engaged with total residents plan of care. "

"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. "

"Autumn Leaves was a very friendly and very diverse place for rehab and long-term care. They had a lot of equipment to work with the patients. My father lived there and loved walking there. They were really good. He was in a private room with a private shower and bath. It's a new facility. In that particular wing, most of the laundry was done by the family, but they had a laundry area there as well. It's very modern with nice linens. I met a lot of the staff, who would have care meetings and were really into giving information about your loved one there. They made sure that everyone was fed. They're very informative."

"I WAS HERE FOR AFTER CARE FOLLOWING A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT. I STAYED JUST OVER A MONTH AND LOVED MY TIME THERE. VERY CLEAN HOME AND GREAT NURSING CARE. IF ANYONE IS THINKING ABOUT REHAB PLACEMENT YOU SHOULD CHECK THIS PLACE OUT FOR SURE. "
