Nursing Home Communities in Pearland, TX

"Yes the Colonades has some problems but overall I love the facility. The new staff are great and they are really making some changes. The only bad thing is they are understaffed but the people that are there bust their butts to help solve any problems I have with my mom. I would recommend it to other families. "

"My mother has moved into Capstone Healthcare Estates on Orem. The staff is very supportive in guiding me through the process. They are very helpful. The facility is very nice. It is well-maintained and clean. She seems to like the food. I just had a few incidents with them as far as bathing and stuff, but she's been pretty much on schedule since then. They have various activities. They have bingo, social hours, and a women's group. For the holidays, they've brought in choirs to sing and musicians to play. There were just a couple of issues that had to be resolved, like it took them a long time to fix the TV."

"We have found a place for my mom, and it's called Magnolia Crossing and Rehabilitation Center. She seems to be settled in. She's been there for a couple of weeks now and seems to be happy. She has a roommate; she likes it. The food is pretty good. We're very pleased. It's close to our house, so we can get there easily. All of my children are close, too, so they like to go visit as well. There were two things that we saw happening when we went to visit Magnolia Crossing. One, there were many staff members available. It is a smaller facility, and instead of six wings, there are four, so they're able to be a little bit more present. The second is that they have showers in the bathroom. They don't have to go down to a group shower down the hall. We don't have any complaints at this point. The decor is appealing, and it's clean. It was Mother's 93rd birthday a couple of days after we moved her in, and the activity folks brought balloons to the room. They're cheerful and attentive. We have had an interaction with everyone so far. The food has been pretty good, according to Mother. Mother is getting some PT. We didn't realize she was able to get some, so we're pleased about that. She doesn't get engaged in bingo and things like that, but they do have activities going on. Regarding value for money, they have accepted her on her monetary ability, so that was a huge thing, too."

"During my visit to Park Manor of South Belt I noticed how clean it is and how friendly everybody is. The staff is very polite, and very knowledgeable about what I need to do, and what I need to have. I had my uncle there, and care was excellent. I went around the clock to see him; to make sure they were taking good care of him, and no matter what time I went, they were all excellent. They took very good care of him. The dining area is very clean; they set out napkins, the silverwares are all lined up for them to come and eat; it was very clean. That place is recommendable because of the services they gave my uncle. Before they did anything with him, before they decided to do anything, they have always called me and they would say, "Do you want us to do this, do you want us to do that, Is that okay if we do this?" They would always call me first to make sure it was alright with us. "

"Unless this is the last place taking residents, please go somewhere else. Upon visiting everything was presented as nice and happy patients, etc. Upon being admitted, staff were too lazy, uncommitted or whatever you can think of to help the residents. There was plenty of staff sitting around doing nothing. My relative fell and needed stitches but they refused to seek medical assistance. It took them 13 hours to get around to cleaning the wound needing stitches, and 3 hours to get a glass of water for the patient. Keep looking! "

"The staff really care about the residents. "

"After looking at other facilities, our family chose to put my mother in Afton Oaks - it was the cleanest facility we had looked at, and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. My mother has been there for years. Perfect? No, every facility will have its pimples, but on the whole, my mother has been well care for. The administration has been responsive to mine and mom's needs, when problems have been brought to their attention. My family has been difficult to deal with at times, and they have dealt patiently with the situation. Mom has consented to allow my sisters to take over her care and they have chosen to move Mom to a different facility, where they have more control. My mother slipped off her bed in January, suffering a broken arm, and the resulting trauma almost killed her. We entered her into a hospice program, and when one of her nurses returned from an illness and found this out, she was devastated and I had to comfort her in the hallway. She had just gotten in my mother's face (literally, because Mom is pretty much blind and very hard of hearing) and encouraging her to get better. Seeing how close she had gotten to my mother touched me, and she isn't the only one who's going to miss Mom when she is moved soon. The administration, as I said, has always been helpful to me in handling her affairs. The staff has been, for the most part, attentive. The Dean of Nursing is an absolute animal about preventing bedsores; despite Mom's inability to move much, she has not had a single sore or pressure wound. The DON actually came to visit my mother in the hospital, after her shift. She fed Mom, visited with her, and together we inspected Mom and found several pressure wounds threatening to becomes open bed sores. She wasn't required to do this. Mom was also visited by her occupational therapist from Afton Oaks. "

"I was a resident at FHCC for only 3 months before Hurricane Harvey forced my displacement to a Nursing facility some 50 miles away -- too bad and sad, because, that was the only reason which would make me leave my new home at Friendswood Health Care Center. My disability dates back to 1995 - 23 years - with tons of experience living in nursing homes/facilities. What I'm leading up to is that with my experience on the receiving end of life in such places, I give Friendswood Health Care Center a 5-star rating simply because they earned a full rating in all areas of caregiving. They have been closed while repairing & getting ready to reopen; I'm ready to return home."

"My father-in-law has been a resident of Harmony Care at Golfcrest. They were excellent. They took care of him every day. And anytime I had any concerns or I just called to check on him because he wasn't answering his cell phone, the nurses would let me know. We went every day to check on him, see if he needed anything, how he was doing, and make sure he was behaving well. Every time we went in there, the place was so pretty clean. We encouraged my father-in-law to go into the dining room to sit down and eat so he could talk to people. Well, he didn't want to go in there. Finally, I think just before he got out, he did go into the dining room and enjoyed it. They do a lot with the patients. And from what I've seen, they take care of them real good. I watched this facility. I'm nosey rosey, I try to find out what's going on because I want to make sure that he's at a safe place. They have good food, too. Everything was accessible even for the ones in wheelchairs. It was nice. I also smelled popcorn there. And they have vending machines. When we would go, I would get him his soda out of the vending machine, and ice for his soda. They did a lot of therapy as far as to get him to walk because when he's at home, he doesn't walk a lot. He's got a house big enough where he could take his walker and walk around the living room because he won't go outside. He'd just look out the windows. And instead of just sitting on the bed, we put another chair in his room so he would get off the bed."

"The people at Garden Terrace of Houston were very professional and attentive towards my mom. She received physical, occupational, and speech therapies. My mom says the food is good. There are times when my mom would not eat her dinner and when she is about to sleep, and she would say she is hungry. So they provide her with some sandwich and Ensure. My mom plays bingo and board games. "

"I love the interaction of all the people. They get to personally know each patient. The staff keeps me encouraged to keep going. Activity director is a jewel. The Don is a wonderful person. She always greets everyone. Administrator is warm and welcoming always smiles and speaks. I love the grilled cheese sandwiches for snack. Alice and Hope cna I adore them. They take such good care of me and everyone."

"I have no problems with the Westbury Place, and they’re taking care of my uncle. He got it thorough the Veterans Administration. They keep it clean. "

"The physical therapists are very caring and very good to work with at TIRR Memorial Hermann. One of the things I like about them is they sit down with me periodically and let me know how my husband is doing. I think we are getting excellent care from this facility. I would absolutely recommend this facility to others. "

"You have to practically be 90 years old to get into Bayou Manor and have about half a million dollars. I was 80, so they wanted $1M from me. It’s too expensive for the normal person. It had beautiful facilities and modern utilities, like a washer and dryer in the room and all that stuff, but it’s not affordable. Everything was gorgeous. They had excellent entertainment and a room like in a cruise ship where the stage is for programs and entertainment. They had gorgeous meeting rooms and huge facilities, and actually it’s not completely finished it. It’s in my chosen area, if I could choose that place, but I had only $500,000 that I could get my hands on, and they would not talk to me because that was not enough. It’s too expensive. Everything is excellent there, and you’ll get your money’s worth if you just have the money. It's the best one I've seen in Houston. "
