Nursing Home Communities in Victoria, TX

"I found Twin Pines Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, and I’m going to move my mother in November. We went and toured it last month and made all the arrangements. It was very nice. It seemed very clean and they had very nice staff. We talked to the dietician -- and my daughter is a dietician -- so that was very important to me. We talked to the activities director and to a lot of staff there. They have birds in cages and fish in tanks so the residents feel like they have pets, but don’t have to take care of them, and my mom seemed pretty happy with it. They have a nice gazebo and some gardens out back where the residents get fresh air and enjoy the outdoors. They have several different places where the residents can gather and visit to play dominoes and cards. They have a lot of activities planned for the residents, and they have 3 different dining areas so they’re very nice. "

"Retama Manor isnt the newest nursing facility in the area but they definitely have some of the best staff! Also the food they offer is pretty darn good. "

"They had activities at The Courtyard. I noticed the personnel treated my mother with respect, and I liked that. The reason I rated it a little bit higher was because the facility was smaller, and cleaner. I felt like my mother would fit in at The Courtyard. They had a very personable, and helpful lady running the place. There was an area in the building that they were not using, and they had turned it into two brand-new rooms. The rooms themselves were a little bit better than the ones at the other facility. They were not spacious, but they were clean. "

"Cuero Nursing and Rehabilitation Center was a really fairly good place. I had a few problems whenever I visited my husband, sometimes when I would go there he would be laying there covered up. When I asked why he's laying there at that time of the day, they said that they asked him to go take a nap but then he'd lay there a long time. I understand that they were busy and were sometimes understaffed, but I saw a few things like that that I did not like. Their rooms were pretty good. I didn't like them having to share, but their shared rooms are probably because of Medicare. Their other rooms are pretty expensive and when we had to pay out of pocket to get a private room, it was very expensive. My bill would have been a thousand dollars more a month. Luckily, he got a roommate from the same town and they got along. I did not like the food, it was pretty tasty but it was salty and greasy. My husband kept gaining weight. He started out about 150 pounds, he was there for 6 months and by the time he got out he was already 209 pounds, so I'm not too happy about that either."

"My husband was in Port Lavaca nursing home after surgery. They were good to him. Everyone else was so much worse than he was, so it was rather depressing. The rooms were very old, but clean. They had two people in each room. He seemed to like the food. The place needed to be upgraded. It's an outrageous price, so the average person can't afford it unless they're on Medicaid."
