Nursing Home Communities in Waco, TX

"Woodland Springs staff cared for our beloved brother (Jerry) for two decades. The genuine love and care he received from his Woodland Springs family made all the difference in his life and brought immeasurable peace of mind to us. Thank you so much "

"My father has been at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Hillcrest for rehab. It was a long-term situation, but it was a good experience for the most part. We've been in there twice. The second time he had some health issues that caused a problem and he was put back in the hospital. It's a good facility. They did three hours of therapy per day, which was really good because that's more than you can ever get in an outpatient setting. It was about 100 times more than we got in either one of the other places we went that we were supposed to get rehab at. They also had a full-time doctor on-staff that came in every day and checked health issues and was able to prescribe medicines for and to treat the health issues while you were there. Just like a hospital type setting, you had your meals and you had regular treatments. It was a good setup. You could still get your medical stuff taken care of and get the rehab you needed, everything, all in one setting. For the most part, all the treatment personnel and the nurses and everybody that came and took care of him were really nice. I would rate them a five the first time we were there. The second time, because of all the medical issues and things that we were having to do to keep him from being discharged, which I had to appeal twice, I would have to say it was a three out of five. That's not anything against the treatment personnel. The treatment personnel were great, but the administration was horrible. I had to give the administration a one out of five, but the treatment personnel were so good. The workers and the nurses and everything were great. The administration had left something to be desired."

"My mother was a resident in the Secure Unit. We never had a single complaint about the care she received from the staff. Everyone always seemed to have the resident’s best interest in mind. They constantly worked to add value to the lives of those in their care. The facility was always clean and fresh. The social worker was kind and helpful, the receptionist was sweet, and the unit nurses and assistants were loving, hard working, and wonderful! "

"Great facility. and I hope they continue to hire more caring people but i will say if you are not caring and only went into nursing for hte money please do not apply here "

"My husband is in Hewitt Nursing & Rehabilitation. He seems to be doing pretty well. They provide very good care. I've been very pleased with the way they take care of him. He has a nice, spacious room. He has a roommate and they keep the beds all clean. Every time I've been up there, it's all clean and there is no odor or anything in the whole place. I've only seen him do bingo several times. They do stuff for them and they entertain them and they have people out, different communities, different clubs, or something out. So, I think he seems to like it there. He likes the food. I haven't tasted it, but it looks presentable and he likes it. I've seen their physical therapy and it's nice. The dining room is always clean, The staff is very good. They're always helpful when I ask a question or something. They always take care of it."

"Though I have not yet had an opportunity to visit the facility due to Covid restrictions and distance, I expect to do so within the next month or so now. I have POA for a resident there and am most impressed with the communications I receive from the staff during care plan and other routine calls associated with his activities there. "

"My husband is in a nursing home at Wesley Woods Rehabilitation and Healthcare. He's been there for a couple of weeks now. It's excellent. There are no complaints whatsoever. He is in a locked-down unit because of his dementia and late-onset Alzheimer's. It's excellent. It's very, very nice, and I am very impressed with it, the building, the landscaping, the care that they give, and it's a very clean place. Their staff is excellent. They check on their patients every two hours. They take care of whatever needs the patient has. They're very caring people. They have excellent cuisine for the patients that are there. I sneaked some of my husband's dinner one time and overall, it's the best I've seen so far. Their food is excellent. They have an excellent chef. Because it's memory care, you find people in wheelchairs or Geri chairs or sitting around the community area. They have a big TV where people will sit. Otherwise, most of them are bedridden in their rooms. For what memory care is and whatnot, they have an excellent supply of needs for the patient in the room. They're small rooms. My husband shares the bathroom with the other male person on the other side of his room. It's like a suite and they share the bathroom. Furniture-wise, it's OK for what is needed for these types of patients. My husband happens to be a wanderer, and we had to move him to a facility that had a lockdown, and that's what Wesley Woods was. Value for money is excellent. For whatever we have to pay out of pocket, it is an excellent price and well worth it. It can be just a respite. If a family needs to go somewhere or on vacation, they can put them in this facility for the two weeks that they're gone, so that's an excellent value in itself. The people there are considerate because it's an excellent unit."

"My mother moved into Providence Village in Waco. So far they have been great. The facility is well kept, clean, and maintained. The food is good, they are very well fed. Even with COVID still going on they are not doing 100 percent of their activities yet, they're at about 50 percent to 60 percent of them, so there's still a lot going on. They do bingo, obviously. As a matter of fact they never even stopped bingo. They set the chairs up outside everybody's room and call bingo from the hallway. They have church service there, they have two different ones, a Catholic organization and a non-denominational service. They are still doing some of the activities where they take people to places, not the doctors' appointments, but out shopping. Still going on some of the field trips where it is safe. Once a week they have what they call "afternoon delight," which can vary from cookies, cakes, and ice cream. Just something to bright up the week. I have eaten there only once, but my mother says the food is really good and I know they actually have a chef there. As for activities, they are doing more than any other place. Eventually, they will get back to doing everything that they were doing. For the price, I think they are probably on the lower end considering all that they provide."

"My mother was at Royal Manor nursing home before she passed away on July 26th. She was there for three years. I decided on this nursing home because it was just right down the street from my house at that time. She was there for a rehab but because she never really got any better, she just stayed there. It was an excellent facility. It was a wonderful place. My mom was in a semi-private room and everything about it was fine. Their staff was really caring. They're really nice. I was very happy with them. They did have activities for their patients, but unfortunately my mom didn't participate in any of them. Food was average. It wasn't wonderful. That was the only thing I was disappointed about this place. It could have been a little bit better. "

"Atrium of Bellmead was very nice. We really, really liked it, but they did not have a locked area for people with memory problems. The staff who gave the tour was very good. She was very nice and very informative, and she completely showed us around the place. We were actually sold on it, but they couldn't accept my mom because of the memory issue and not having a locked area. The rooms were very nice and very clean. It's a pretty new place, so it's in very good condition. They have a really big courtyard that they could walk in, and stuff that was enclosed."

"My uncle was at Coral Rehabilitation and Nursing of McGregor. What I liked most was that they seemed more attentive to the patients. They were very friendly. They didn't have much entertainment for the people at the beginning. They had tables and chairs, and you could watch TV, and that was it. They had just opened it and that's all they had. They had a lot of private rooms. My uncle had a private room, and had more space than he does now. They were all attentive to him and very kind. They would stop by and say hi. They were on top of things. I never saw anybody fussing, complaining, or telling them to wait. It's an older building, but they kept it clean. And they were working on putting in a gathering place and working on fixing up the yard and the building and all that."

"Since my mom has a memory problem, we have chosen Westview Manor because they have locked areas where she stays, so that was the main thing. The room is just average. Some of the employees are really, really nice, and then some of them just don't talk to you hardly at all. I have not tried their food, but they don't look all that good. I would say they're average. However, the dining area is good. They usually eat in a big, open community area. It's always clean and everything looks nice. They have an outdoor courtyard that's enclosed, and they do lots of activities. They have bands and people come and sing for them. They play games and stuff, so it seems like they have a lot of activities. My mom has adjusted pretty well, so for her, it has been OK. We haven't been 100% satisfied with it, but it fits OK for us."

"This rest home is perfect for my gramma. They have very clean, well kept facilities. There are plenty of windows, which I think helps it not feel so "nursing home" and more like "home." The staff has always been wonderful to us and my gramma. Last Christmas, there was a great family dinner complete with dessert that we got to eat with Gramma. She eats like a queen there. Three full meals a day with dessert! The food keeps her spirits up, even when she gets fussy. Every time she has gotten hurt, the staff has always been there to take care of her. I feel there responses were quick and proper. One of the best parts of this rest home is the birds that live in their sitting area. I know they all love to watch the birds and feed them. They all have names and their enclosure always gets dressed up for the holidays. "

"My parents are staying at Lutheran Sunset Ministries in Clifton. Based on my experience it's been good. They really like the staff and they said they like their fellow residents. Their room is well laid out, it's open concept, so it's easier to get around, and pretty much the only interior door is the one for the bedroom. It's good in case they would need a wheelchair or something like that. They really like the food too, and a couple of times I visited I also sampled it. It was very good. The staff is very friendly and helpful, neither I nor my parents have had any issues with them. They're very good and very professional. I like the way the facility is laid out. My parents are definitely getting a good value for their money."
