Lexington Place Fort Worth, TX

Lexington Place is very nice place. We are going through refurbishing, new paint, new curtains, and it's very clean. We had flood problems in September and a lot of the walls had to be replaced. We're refurbishing the whole nursing center. The staff is wonderful. It's a big family. We have activities twice a day, seven days a week. We have exercises, music, question and answer sessions, bible reading, crafts, schools and churches come in and sing during the holidays, and we have church services. I also teach bible study on Tuesdays, so we stay pretty busy. We are short on help, but they're interviewing and training CNAs right now. There are plenty of halls and I am able to walk whenever I want. If anybody walks in the door, there's a nurse or a CNA out there to check them in.

I chose this facility for my mom after a friend of mine stayed for rehab. The building may be older but we have been very pleased with the care. The rehab team has worked extra hard with my mom to build her strength and all of the ladies in the offices have been so helpful in answering our medical questions. They accept Medicaid here so she will be staying. This place is ran very well and I'm glad we made this move.

Evidently I visit this facility at the wrong time. It is neither nice, nor does it smell good! The residents do not have a place to sit and visit with family and friends except in their very small, crowded rooms. The only chairs they have to sit in are wheelchairs (which are not conducive to long times in them) or they have the straight back chairs in the front part of the Nursing Home that serves as dining hall and entry. The aids have no bed side manners. Many of them have extremely long finger nails that easily cut and scratch the resident and they are many times on their cell phones on private calls instead of giving their attention to the resident. They are not friendly with the visitors and it seems to pain them to have to do anything for the persons they are there to serve. It is upsetting to me that my friend has to be a resident in this facility.

We opted to go put my parents on an actual nursing home because their Dementia and Alzheimer's is more than what a senior living place would do for them. We found a very nice nursing home named Lexington Place. They are happy, and the family is happy with this facility. They were so helpful with getting the information that we needed. They called me every day if there is any issue with either one of them. So if the doctor or the nurse practitioner sees them, they let us know. They let us know if they have any concerns or something happens, they'd give us a call. It's a lot smaller than some of the other facilities. They have a secured door front and back as well as into the patio area. If somebody goes in and they don't punch the code into it, the alarm will sound. We were allowed to bring in some of my parent's stuff to personalize their room and make it homey for them. If the residents need any type of physical therapy, they have that as well as extra-curricular activities like field trips.
