Nursing Home Communities in Mineola, TX

"The home may be old, but the staff are VERY friendly. Everyone greets you as you enter and all are eager to help in any way. The food is the best I have ever since in a nursing home and they are always happy to offer a guest tray when I would visit. The facility is clean and the care is exceptional. The activities are wonderful and range from the traditional Bingo to silly string wars and hallway bowling. They even have a monthly painting party and the residents get to paint a canvas with the direction of an artist. It is a joy to watch this activity. They are active in our community and the staff and residents attend most of the parades and events and have participated in the multiple floats in our local parades. The rooms are small but are very homelike with personal items and decorations. They have multiple outdoor areas for residents and family to visit and the flowerbeds are beautiful I would highly recommend this facility to anyone with a loved one in need!!"

"Overall, thorough quality of care, interactive with patients and staff. plenty of activities to keep residents busy. Great Food. options for either single or sharing rooms depending on budget. Thankful for the great care my wife is getting. Highly recommended for a small town Nursing home."

"Whispering Pines was a small community, so everyone knows everybody. It's got a homey feel to it. My mother's room was very blah, I wasn't very impressed, but I think she's being cared for there. The meals are pretty good. They did have things to do like painting, a pool room, and so on. I just wish they could have more physical therapy or something that could help the patients do more of the activities."

"Staff is amazing and cares about their job! They are always willing to go above and beyond for their residents. My Papa has been here six months and loves it. He loves the activities and especially the food. I have worked at several facilities and none of them compared to Lakeview. They work together as a team. At any given time, you will see the DON or administrator chipping into help where needed. 110% would recommend for anyone to bring their family to Lakeview. "

"Very clean and fresh smelling. Amazing staff especially Sherry and Raven. My Mom is very happy there and that is all that really matters. I’m in my 70s and a retired RN so I have some experience in this area. I would be content there as well. I’ve seen many nursing homes and Greenbrier ranks among the top five I have seen so far."

"My grandmother is currently in their care and without Canton Oaks and their staff I'm not sure she would still be alive. Before Canton Oaks she was bitter, lonely and didn't want to talk to anyone. Let's not forget a heavy chain smoker. Since she has joined Canton Oaks, she has quit smoking (after smoking for more than half her life), she plays bingo and interacts with other patients and staff. Her room is always clean and she always has what she needs or wants. Staff seems to handle her "grouchy mood" with grace and love. I'm beyond happy we found this place for our grandmother. I have seen firsthand how this place treats their staff and patients like family. "

"They did a good job with healthy food and cleanliness, but their interaction with residents was not what I would desire. Also, they weren't good about calling the doctor, hospital, or next of kin when medical care was needed. They would wait for local nurses to look over patients and try healing them for about a week before calling anyone. Because of this my grandfather's health ended up failing. The doctor who was finally called in said he wouldn't have lost his life if he would have received proper treatment sooner. "

"My mom was in this nursing home for 3 years and loved it there. She loved the nurses, the food, and the way she was treated. We offered to move her closer to one of her children but she wanted to stay there. The home never smelled bad and was always clean, so I knew my mom was being well taken care of. Thank you Patricia, Debbie, and the rest of the staff for your wonderful care."

"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 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. "

"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. "

"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. "

"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 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."
