I went to Park Plaza Nursing and Rehabilitation. My impression was good. I think they were good on price. I did talk to a knowledgeable person. They were helpful. They were knowledgeable, certainly. On the outside, it is kind of like you’re parking at a minute market or something next door to the nursing home. It’s not such a great layout there; the parking area is not so great. The place is reasonably well kept, but it is kind of out in the middle of nowhere, basically.

I recently admitted my mother into this facility ,just before covid19 hit. I know that my mother can be very demanding at times, how ever when I spoke to the administrator James he told me she would well taken care of and had nothing to worry about. I recently had her medicaid approved and told them that she would be approved soon and the administrator told me no that’s not how it works. my mother would not be approved for 46 and 1/2 months. I told him that’s not what my attorney told me, and he proceeded to tell me with such managerial brio to have my lawyer call and speak to him. I spoke to him in a very cordial manor. My attorney called him and had to explain to this administrator how being approved for medicaid works. I think he may have gotten mad when he heard from my attorney to get him straight on how medicaid approval worked. My mother is supposed to get a bath 3 times a week and this hasn’t happened since she’s been there. My mother calls me and tells me that they tell her she can’t have a bath because there are no towels or there they are shorthanded or some reason just because they’re shorthanded, and that’s supposed to be my mothers problem! There was even 1 cna that told my mother ,quote" there are people here that have not had a bath longer that you have" unquote. My mother hadn’t had a bath in almost a week! This is unacceptable not only on the shower standpoint but what the cna told my mother. I placed my mother in Cedar Manor because she had a stroke and it took her entire left side and she can hardly stand by herself. She needs assistance to the restroom, dressing or getting in and out of bed. I know this covid19 thing has really put a damper on things, but damn it ,come on! These patients are humans not animals. I was called once a few months back that my mother had fallen and cut the back of her head open and the ambulance took her to the hospital. I met her there at 4:30pm about 20 minutes after I was called. The doctor stapled the back of her head after squeezing the blood out of the large hematoma that was on the back of her head. Then I called and asked if the nursing home was going to pick her up and they said it would be about 30 minutes, so we waited. I called at approximately 6:00 pm to see when they were going to pick her up and they said they had someone in town dropping someone off and they would pick my mother up on the way back. I called back at 7:30pm because no one had showed up yet, and one of the people at Cedar Manor told me that they were trying to find a van driver and it would be a while. I called back after no one showed up by 8:30pm and asked if they were coming. They told me it would be awesome if I could take her back, otherwise she would’ve waited until 12:00 or 1:00 am. Its my opinion that the nursing home needs to hire more staff to help them.

My mother was in Meadow Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation. I do know that they’re more expensive than some places. I think the employees are pretty good, and I think they’re very skilled in what they do. I think they did a good job. One of the big responsibilities they had was daily wound care for my mother, and I think they did a good job with that. My mother thought the food was really good. For activities, basically all they had was watching TV. They didn’t really have much in the way of activities at all. I think they kept it up pretty well.

My father was here for a little under a month. We had multiple issues. Within the first few days he was rushed to the emergency room for a blood sugar of 564 due to not having the correct insulin regimen. The hospital had made an error in his paperwork so I marked out the meds that were not correct and put a check mark on the ones that were. I also discussed all this with the charge nurse and gave her a list of the medications before he went into the hospital. Upon admission I let them know he had been aspirating and this was a new issue. The next day he had a fall in the restroom and he said no one picked him up for an hour. A few days later, he choked and they performed the Heimlich maneuver. When he was moved to a Medicaid bed they put him in a room with a man that would scream and yell all night and day. After I requested a move so he could get sleep, they put him in a room with a broken bed, no trashcan, and his belongings were in the first two rooms. I know they were in the other rooms because I was told by a nurse to go look since she was too busy. I had to find all his belongings and move them into the new room. Staff takes zero accountability. The nurses change every week. It’s hard to get phone calls returned. Full of broken promises. I’ve given up on trying to get back his missing clothes. Don’t let the shiny fancy building fool you.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in San Angelo, Texas
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
