"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."

"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. "

"Excellent Facility! My mom is there it feels like an upscale hotel with the great food and rooms. The staff are so nice and attentive. They always have fun activities and have an onsite salon and manicurist."

"My friend is in The Brazos of Waco for a while. She is in rehab. It's a very beautiful place. It's new and very clean. However, I don't think they provide very good service to my friend, because she has told me that they're bad about doing her laundry and bad about getting their clothes back to her. They went for two weeks with three or four items of her clothing, and they never returned but one item. She also said that they don't supply the care she should be getting. Their therapy department doesn't work with her, as they should. They will just come in, get her out of bed, take her down to the therapy department and maybe work with her for about five minutes. They'll throw a ball back and forth to her and then determine that there's nothing they can do for her. I won't give them a high rating on taking care of people. My friend told me about the food and that it's not all that great. She said it's a lot of noodles and stuff like that. She doesn't think too highly of it. They have a pretty nice dining area, but she eats a lot there in her room that they have for her. Her room is pretty nice though. She said that they don't have a lot of activities like some of the other nursing homes that she had been in. The activities, at least on her part, are not all that great. They also charge more for their room rates than the other place does. I think they could improve if they would get better help and not use so many agency people because the agency people do not have concerns for their patients. And also, if they would work with families more. I've never talked to the administrator, and they've never reached out to me. The admitting lady, that is a liaison, she's very hard to get in touch with and talk to. They need to improve their staff, and the way they take care of people. They need to be more concerned. And on their therapy, they need to work with the people. I feel like they're just collecting the money and not doing their jobs correctly. "

"I'm living at Emerald Cottages of Waco. I like its size, the size of the rooms, it's very well constructed, the woodworking is nice, and the kitchen is nice. Everything is nice about it. The staff is wonderful. The lady I've dealt with is the best, and she has done everything to make our move-in comfortable. I cook my own food in my kitchen, but they have luncheons every now and then for us. People rent their own cottages, and we have great activities at the clubhouse. This is a perfect place for me."

"Arbor House of Waco is more convenient for my family so that's where my husband is. I can't recommend them highly enough. They're all very caring, everybody knows them by name, and if I have a concern or question, they're right on it. They take really good care of him and it's like a family. They have cooking classes, bingo, and crafts, but I wish they had more things for men. The food looks delicious, and my husband always cleans his plate. The price is worth what they charge."

"This facility is like no other senrior care facility I have ever visited. Bentley House specializes in caring for alzheimer's and dementia patients. The furnishings are nice. The staff works hard to help their resident's live the most normal life that they can. They have the standard things like nutritous meals, exercise programs, medication management, etc. But in addition at Bentley House they have social activities and game nights that residents and their families participate in. The staff works closely with the families in their efforts to help their residents live their best lives while battling dementia and alzheimers, It takes special training and dedication to give these resindets the best care. The Bentley House staff has this training and dedication to their residents. "

"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. "

"This facility is beautiful and inviting. My mom is a resident there and has thrived from the care and attention she has received from the nurses and staff. We had a family gathering there and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. We were so fortunate to find Senior Care of Hewitt and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to put their elderly loved one. "

"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 "

"Cottages of Oak Springs is an independent 5-star place. When I visited the place, I can see that they are taking their business very seriously, but I did not qualify to live in there. They have full calendars with things for the people to do every day. They have medical people coming in to talk to the residents. They have lunches and they do bingo. "

"My wife was suffering from dementia due to an extremely bleeding ulcer. When I got to the emergency room the doctor told me that she would basically be a vegetable the rest of her life. However, when she was discharged from the hospital, to be transported to the nursing home, the doctor told me she would probably spend the rest of her life in a nursing home. I placed her in Wesley Woods at the recommendation of a friend that is a Waco native. There my wife received excellent care. I can't say enough about the staff, but they were caring, helpful, knowledgeable of her condition and provided a wonderful environment for her. The rehab therapist's were absolutely wonderful. Wesley Wood's has a staff of speech pathologists, physical therapists and other specialists. After seven weeks she was released back to my care. I am happy to report that she has regained all of her 'faculties' and is once again the caring and loving wife that I've know since we were 12 years old...and we're now both 70. I know an awful lot of prayer's were answered, but many were answered through the Wesley Woods' staff. Wesley Woods is an outstanding facility and I highly recommend them for the care of your loved ones. "

"Regent Care Center of Woodway is located just outside Waco. This facility offers different types of rehabilitation services. I like that the staff works with the patients, as well as the patients' families. This facility offers speech therapy and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. The staff trains the patients to follow the exercises needed for that patient's specifc rehab needs. They also offer classes for family members, so they can learn how to help the patients as well. "

"My mother is staying at The Village at Providence Park. She has been there for a long time. It is sort of opened up now. They have been changing the rules and things have been improving. They had residents on lockdown like everybody else. She is in assisted living now, but she was in independent living. You could visit as long as your loved one is in independent living. They were not allowing any visitation in the assisted living side, but they have since loosened up. She likes it there. I was able to dine before Covid and the food was good. They have a very nice facility. I know they have alot of activities. They take them out places and they have a recreation center."
