After her cancer surgery, ICU stay, hospital, and Rehab, I was desperate in finding a nice, professional dwelling place for Mom as she would need special care and attention. "The Crescent" was recommended, and from the outside looking in, it seemed picturesque and inviting. I got a tour and realized later, I got one as a private-paying client for Mom, and was shown only the best rooms. However, Mom is on Medicaid. I gathered all the paperwork and quickly submitted it. I received word from Patsy via text that my mom did not meet medical necessity for Long-Term-Care to stay at The Crescent. I asked, not even short term? And she replied no. When I called Medicaid, they confirmed that Mom does qualify for LTC, and she indeed needed full care! I went back to Patsy hoping for a better explanation so that I could understand, only for her to repeat that they do not admit any long-term residents if they do not meet medical necessity, and so my mom had been denied for admission to their facility by their medical team. Never once did she take the time to explain what "medical necessity" meant, even after I asked her. I was hurting for my mom, yet this lady, Patsy, gave me the cold shoulder! They rejected us – seemed like policy, rules, and guidelines were more important than we were! I had asked for recommendations and she never responded. There was no money for them, so "NEXT!" Someone finally explained to me that medical necessity falls under Dementia, Alzheimers, or being on Dialysis, so Mom was denied. I would stress to anyone seeking care for their loved ones, that they do their research thoroughly. I have since heard negative reviews and negligence regarding this place! I do NOT recommend The Crescent to anyone.

I’ve been in rehab at HealthSouth Sugar Land. Very positive atmosphere and everyone was very friendly. All rooms were private, and I had their largest room. I just accidentally stumbled into it, but it was arranged differently than the rest of them because this place took over a hospital, and the room I had was supposed to be renovated shortly. It was a wonderful room. In fact, I was there for two weeks. I had my surgery — my replacement surgery — and then I went back there for a week. They got me from hobbling to walking quite well in a week. The food was excellent in selection and in portion sizes. As for activities, they have physical therapy and occupational therapy, and they have places on the floor for you to sit or your family to sit, they have books and magazines, you may have like a small table or a huge oval table, and you can get outside easily.

My father moved from Austin to Treemont Health Care Center a little over a year ago in order to be closer to family after living alone and experiencing health issues. My sisters and I knew it would be a huge transition for him; however, he chose to embrace the Treemont Lifestyle. The staff has taken the time to get to know him, and he knows the staff by name. The variety of activities is a plus, and he looks forward to participating regularly. Who knew he would love to color? The attentiveness and quality of care from the administration, direct care/nursing staff and the therapy has made a positive impact on his demeanor and overall happiness. We are truly grateful for the Treemont family.

I liked that Capstone Healthcare Estates on Orem was a secure facility. You had to wear masks going in. Immediately when you came in, there was a receptionist and then you had to go to this device that read your temperature. You sign in as a visitor and they take your picture. I liked that.
We didn’t set up an appointment, but they immediately saw us and we were able to talk to the managing person for admissions. She was very knowledgeable and walked us through the process. People were walking and everybody was greeting each other even before they saw us and that was huge for me. It just means that it’s naturally a friendly and respectful environment.
The facility was super clean. They provide rehab, and they would do in-room dining and would also assign the person dining room access. It was a really good structured program. They’re very keen on knowing the dietary needs of my father-in-law, too, and the nurse would be there to assist him with eating if needed.

My husband is at The Buckingham. I think they are trying; his case is difficult. On Monday I’m going to a meeting with the team and we’re going to review how it’s been going and what’s the care ahead.
The physical is beautiful and luxurious. His room is very clean and very nice. The staff is very nice, but sometimes they are difficult to understand because most of the people there are not native English speakers plus the masks.
The food to me looks excellent, but my husband has a problem. One of his cancer symptoms is that he’s lost appetite and with the chemo, for him nothing is appealing. But I think it’s much better than the hospital food. They try to make a variety and to cook it in a way that’s appealing with all sauces. It’s excellent.
I think it’s kind of overpriced. It’s very expensive and I’m not so sure that the care you get there is any better than the care you get somewhere else. But the facility looks better than the ones I’ve visited.

Long overdue review, but this should be said. After Hurricane Harvey blew through the city, leaving destruction in its wake, Seven Acres added to the stress and confusion of the aftermath with the following situation: This facility gave only a a few days notice to tell us to move our relative to a different nursing home, or otherwise he would have been effectively homeless. It was a no contest decision, meaning that all affected residents and their families had no chance of negotiating to stay at the facility. The meeting to notify affected residents and families happened on a Sunday, and all affected residents had to be out by the following Friday. It was an extremely unethical and irresponsible decision by the Seven Acres Board and Top Management. They shifted the blame onto the state regulatory bodies who "forced" them to make such a decision because of apparent over-crowding on the upper floor, as the first floor was damaged by the floods and needed repairs. The selection for removal was arbitrary and was not related to the behaviors or financial situations of the affected residents.
Additionally, we were promised a smooth transition from Seven Acres to the new facility with all personal effects and records. intact. However, the transfer itself was a giant mess, with our relative getting dropped off at an entirely different location with someone else’s belongings after we were told he would be going to the right location. They also were not able to transfer the records successfully due to faulty fax machines and actually refused to release these records until we perservered for them. We spent a whole day tracking down our relative, his belongings, and the records. The management at the top was extremely unhelpful as well, not answering our inquiries and daring to go on vacation instead of solving problems.
I would beware of this facility should any natural disaster affect them again. They do not have your or your relative’s best interests at heart and cannot be bothered to solve problems when they arise.

This is an absolutely terrible place! My mother recently spent two weeks at this facility after a fall for rehab. The staff in general was very rude and spent more time on personal phone calls than they did tending to patients. On multiple occasions hours would pass while she was waiting for assistance. Food was not good and very limited in selections. At one point I reached out to the Executive Director Jesse to voice my concerns. A return phone call was never received.

This is an absolutely terrible place! My mother recently spent two weeks at this facility after a fall for rehab. The staff in general was very rude and spent more time on personal phone calls than they did tending to patients. On multiple occasions hours would pass while she was waiting for assistance. Food was not good and very limited in selections. At one point I reached out to the Executive Director Jesse to voice my concerns. A return phone call was never received. Please consider this information carefully when selecting a place for your loved one. It is very unfortunate. That senior citizens are not able to find better care.

My friend is at Memorial City Health and Rehabilitation Center, and I rate them a one. Food is delivered cold. The social workers and administration communicate with each other, but they do not communicate with the residents. The place is clean, that includes the restrooms, hallways, and bedrooms. That’s a good part, but the response time with the nursing staff (could be the nurse, the nurse’s aide, or any of the nursing staff) is slow. A lot of staff works double shifts, too.

West Oaks Nursing and Rehabilitation have a very nice environment. It’s a nursing home but it seems very homey and very welcoming. The staff is really nice and very caring. It’s super clean and they don’t have any issues with the maintenance. Everything is painted and spic and span. They just don’t have a lot of available availability for my dad.
They’re very hospitable. The staff that we met, like the nurses, seemed to know what they were talking about during the tour. They were very knowledgeable and very caring. They also got a good ratio of nurses to residents. They’re not new, but the upkeep is done very well.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Sugar Land, TX
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.
