Nursing Home Communities in Texas City, TX

"Excellent care and bedside manners! I am extremely pleased with the care my uncle is receiving. At first I was hesitant but I must say that his care has exceeded my expectations and but my mind at rest"

"The first time my husband went to Baywind Village, it was excellent, and he did well. The second time he went, it took a week before they were able to get him into a room where he could start getting a little better, but on the other hand, they felt he was a little bit sicker when he came in this time, so I was a little disappointed. I thought they were excellent. Their location is great, and they have enough personnel to take care of each patient independently. They have everyone from bedridden people to people who are able to get up and get around. They have nice areas to eat in and a lot of social things to do, so I'm really impressed. They have quiet sitting areas if you want to sit and read a book and areas to interact with other people on completely different sides so you don't bother any of the patients. They keep my husband very busy all day long, which is the best thing he needs. I'm very impressed with them. Not only do they give him three meals a day, but they also have a cart that goes around with sandwiches, beverages, and fruit. There are also snacks in between your meals, and they even asked you if there's something that you like that they can bring in. Baywind is just for rehabilitation, and it's not like you could live there until you die, so maybe that's a drawback. "

"The residents were bedridden or wheelchair bound. They were in a pretty sad situation and were at the end of life. The staff were nice and courteous. It's appealing, but the smell wasn't that good at Harbourview Care Center. They should improve on cleanliness. "

"My former mother-in-law and friend, Margaret has been at Cascades for years. She is now on hospice. The staff has always been helpful to me. The care I witnessed was good. Everyone there seems sincerely pleasant. I didn’t detect any stress among the staff or any of the other residents. I think the residents are well cared for. They have been very lenient with visitation during this difficult time for Margaret’s friends and family."

"My grandmother was at Regency. She was only there for maybe a week. It was very clean. They were very attentive towards my grandmother. They did not let her give up on herself when it came to physical therapy. They cleaned her up, and she didn't have to wait for a very long time. The people were wonderful, and they were friendly. It seemed like they were on top of it. They were really great people there. I would recommend them. "

"We moved my dad into the Meridian several years ago after I had taken care of him in my home for five years. Though we were both nervous, starting with our very first encounter with staff, we knew we made the right decision. Every staff member we encountered over the last three years was loving, warm and real. My Dad absolutely adored everyone who worked there from the maintenance department who helped put his recliner together, to the front office staff, to the med aids and nurses...they were all wonderful. They got to know my Dad as a person, not a patient. He was a very independent guy, and they allowed him to experience as much independence as possible in ways that were safe. They went out of their way to make sure he could still live his life with dignity. I knew he was safe and loved which took a HUGE burden from me. The Meridian staff became like a large extended family for my Dad and me. I will always be incredibly grateful for the loving care they gave my father in his last years. "

"Kindred Rehab is wonderful. They work miracles with Gala -- my cousin -- and the staff is so great. The quality is just the best. He does a lot of natural treatment and supplements. It is just the best in the world; I am very pleased with the services there. They are doing very well. I would recommend anyone to take their loved one that’s trying to recovery from a stroke there. They are very good in what they do, and I am very pleased with their work. Dr. Clark is very knowledgeable. "

"This is a very nice, convenient facility. It's kept clean, with no foul odors, and when needing assistance, the staff is very willing to help. Our parents are at this facility, and we feel it's a safe, positive environment for them to reside. The staff are friendly and go the extra mile to make daily activities run smoothly. Almost every day, it seems that there is a function going on in the dining area for the residents. Bingo, ice cream socials, residents can attend mass, painting classes, etc. One parent has been at this facility for over two years, and we have been very happy with the staff and facility. I do recommend this location to others. (This facility is also close to hospitals and many doctors offices...very convenient.)"

"I wouldn’t take mother back to ManorCare Health Services. The place was a dump. Everything is broken, and it’s in horrible repair. You had to bang on the light to get it to come on. The dining area was horrible; the residents in assisted and the ones that could go in by themselves all ate in one area. It was horrible food, horrible service, and a horrible atmosphere. It was $1500 a month more than where she’s at now, but I did like her doctor. She was there a long time, long enough to be dropped by her insurance. I got a prescription bill for $2300 for one month, and they didn’t advise me that I needed to get her on Medicare. Never was there a care plan meeting. They moved her to another wing where there was no therapy, and while she was there, she got pneumonia again. The a/c could not be controlled; it was too cold. I went back a week later. She was still in that room freezing to death. I was freezing to death, and after a fit, they moved her. "

"My mother stayed at Ignite Medical Resort Webster in December. We liked the place pretty well. They were attentive to her, and she liked the people. The only issue she had there was that even though they would ask her every morning what she wanted for every meal, she seldom actually got what she asked for, but she didn't want to bring it to anybody's attention. A lot of times, the food was cold by the time it would get to her. The building was very nice and seemed like it was recently remodeled. The rooms were all private, so that was nice. The bathrooms were accessible even to somebody in a wheelchair. They had a nice recliner chair that one of us was allowed to sleep in at night. So, you could have somebody stay with you the whole time you're there. The staff was good. Pretty much any time we would call them, they would come in pretty quickly. We were there right around Christmas, so it was a little bit hard to get hold of people that were in charge of things. I did try once to get hold of somebody that was in charge of the dietary stuff. And I got a recording and nobody ever called me back. I was trying to get hold of a caseworker and they sent me to somebody's voicemail, left a message, didn't hear back, and tried calling somebody else, and her recording said that she was off until the first of the year. The front desk didn't seem to be very good at getting hold of people that were in charge of things. But the nursing staff was good. She had PT and OT while she was there, and those people seemed to be good, too."

"I chose Friendship Haven Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center for my dad. The location was closer to my home and the nurses are very nice. The rooms are nice. They're older, but they are nice. The staff is very accommodating. He has a large room with a single bed, TV on the wall, a large bathroom, each has a bedside table in each bed, and it's a room with two beds. The meals are just OK. They have bingo, movies, things like that. It's a big entrance with a porte cochere and flowers. The flower beds surround it. There are bushes up near where the street is, and bushes and some flowers around the facility."

"This was my second visit to Laurel Court. What a difference! The management staff has changed (for the better) and the level of care is proof of that. Everyone I met was very helpful and professional. I was met my first morning by a nice lady. She asked how my admission process had been and if there was anything I needed. She had delivered a nice gift basket which made me feel welcome. She visited me twice a week for my entire stay, checking on my progress, Her name was Cathy. (I assumed she was from admissions). On my last day she brought me a going home gift and really made my experience great! Linda and Sondra also took the time to visit me and check on my progress. The entire staff was very professional and caring. Therapy saved me. They took it slow and easy until I could get to where I needed to be. Thank you Julie and Jeremy. Even the housekeeper on my hall was friendly and helped me feel at home. Hopefully I won't need your services again, but if I do, I would gladly recommend you. "

"My dad was at Winchester Lodge Healthcare Center. It was right across the street from my mom's house. It was a brief rehab, post-hospital kind of stay. Everything was really positive. At that time it was pre-COVID, so my mom got to spend a lot of time with him, and do meals with him. My brother and sister got to visit quite a bit just to make sure that he was doing OK. He was recovering from a surgery. In that regard we were very happy with it. It was super convenient for everybody because it was in Alvin, and that's where they all lived. I don't live there, but it's where they all live. They were more appreciative because they could bring him out of the hospital and bring him closer to home until he got a little bit better and a little bit stronger. The physician came and rounded there regularly with a nurse practitioner, and that gave them a higher level of confidence that they will catch something early if anything was not going right. My dad seemed happy there. He liked that everybody could visit him and stay with him, but he stayed there pre-COVID, so there weren't restrictions. They liked the food, it was more like a cafeteria style kind of food, but it was good. He was eating, so he was doing good. The facility probably does not give off the best impression, but I think it was an older facility that was formerly something else. I think it has been around for 40 or 50 years. It has only been a nursing home for a while. It does not give you the best impression, but they keep it fine. It just looked dated, but it was clean. It probably was what you would expect for an older nursing home. That was maybe the only thing that was a little off-putting, because you are thinking, "Are they in this decade?" But everything else was good. They maintained it, but your initial impression would be that it is just a little dated. My dad was assigned to do speech, physical therapy, and occupational therapy at that time for all his conditions combined. It was not just the surgery, but they evaluated him overall. I think there were other therapies available while he was there, so that was good."

"I did like Friendswood Health Care Center. I feel that it is homey. I had the time to sit with some of the residents there, and they liked the place. They have a very good cafeteria menu. "
