My mother was a resident at Grapevine Medical Lodge for about four months. GML provided around the clock nursing care and a hospice company provided hospice care. One of the first things I noticed was that the staff at GML dressed mom in clean clothes every day and they encouraged her to get up, visit with other residents, go outside and participate in activities. Mom's room was spacious, clean and she had a nice large window. The staff all knew my mother and would speak very well of her whenever I visited. I was pleased with the care mom received at Grapevine Medical Lodge. No place is perfect, but the attention and nursing care Mom received was better than I could have given her at home, and I don't believe anywhere else would have done a better job treating her with kindness, gentleness and respect. Her regular CNA, Johnny was a favorite as he was always willing to help me and her with anything she needed.

Such a beautiful facility!! Everyone is so sweet, caring, and attentive! The admission Director, Diana, IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST like literally an angel sent from above!! It’s also nicely well kept and not so complicated of a place to walk around and figure out where things are located!

10 days or so after my mom had been admitted I discovered she was not being treated for her diabetes. The nurses did not know mom was diabetic. She was placed on blood thinners for reasons no one seems to know. She received so much she had a GI bleed and had to be taken to the ER. She was treated with large doses of vitamin K during her admission. Her PCP told me the blood thinners could have killed her. She had no condition to warranted blood thinners. It was hard to communicate with staff. I care for mom at home now.

I wouldn't put my dog in this place. Mom was left in her poop all night and not sure what they did but all her clothes had poop on them. They cleaned her bottom with dry towels while she cried that they were hurting her. Employees don't understand or speak English very well and with a mask on, don't have a clue what they're saying. This place needs to be closed.

My father and mother-in-law are both residents of Grapevine Medical Lodge. The staff are all so kind, caring an understanding. I can't say enough good things about the enrollment process. They went above and beyond to be sure they could get them in when we needed them to be there and even helped us locate and get medical records when we weren't able to. We are looking forward to when the Covid restrictions are completely lifted but everyone there has received their first vaccine shot and will receive their second one in a couple of weeks. The rooms are large and nicely furnished with plenty of closet and storage room. The Lodge is just perfect for our parents and for us. Here's a shout out to all who have helped us. There are just too many to name specifically! Thanks to all for making this move to the facility as easy and smooth as possible!

I can’t believe a healthcare facility that is supposed to help patients and treat them with empathy and kindness during a time of rehabilitation, has failed so miserably and breeched the standard of care like this place has. My grandparents were residing here from late November 2020 to the beginning of January 2021 due to COVID-19. My grandfather was discharged halfway through and my grandmother was left there to continue recovering. They took advantage of her vulnerability as a lone patient and were rough and negligent towards her every chance they got. She was mistreated, handled roughly by the staff, and left overnight to sit in her excrement several times, even after asking them repeatedly to please assist her. She specifically mentioned that the African American CNAs in her unit were incredibly rude and purposefully neglectful. When one of the young men came into her room she asked him to assist her, to which he rudely replied, “That’s not my job. I’ll get the nurse.” And never did. They would see her in need of care and would continue ignoring her and others to carry on with their meal. They left her exposed and bathed her maybe once a week. On top of that the staff never answered the phone and the lack of communication was extremely frustrating. Now that my grandmother has been able to return home she has shared her horrible experiences with us and is suffering from severe PTSD and anxiety. Her mental and physical health has been negatively impacted and she has trouble sleeping because of the things she’s suffered through. Do NOT assume that this is top of the line care because it’s in Grapevine, Tx. We thought the same and were strongly mistaken. This place needs to be investigated/shut down and we will not stop until they do. Hopefully this will prevent other peoples loved ones from ever having to endure what mine did.

The new DON (Kimberly) is awful. Very rude among many other things. She got rid of all the good people and hired people like her. My guess is because that’s the only people that can stand to work with her. I wouldn’t bring my family here as long as she is still working there.

I am/was a resident of this facility

My husband is here currently for the rehab/transition part of the facility. His case is complex and though we had been downgraded to Skilled Nursing, we ended up here for LTAC level care. Note: We arrived here when it was Kindred and it is currently under new management as Grapevine Medical Lodge. I am hoping this transition will cause improvement. I can say right off the top that we would not still be here if it were not for the rehab staff. They have been awesome through this and have caused marked improvement in my very broken husband. And the new owners have already improved the equipment in the rehab room and have shown a willingness to improve further. Hoorah for the staff and their dedication to the patients and for their taking the time to create a list of items that can benefit the patients. That being said we have not been impressed with the rest of the facility from day one. Our arrival was in late afternoon/early evening. Even with a portion of the day to prepare, I can assure you they were not prepared. With broken pelvis and skin grafts, we coordinated ahead (or thought we did) for an upgraded mattress. It was not there when we arrived. The transport vehicle cannot wait around for the facility to catch up, so our only choice was to transfer him to the regular mattress. When the air mattress did finally arrive, it was not what the social worker at the hospital had described to us, but at least the pressure would be off his damaged parts. I won't even bother describing the fiasco involved in transferring from the stretcher to the bed, and then the poor mattress to the air mattress. In summary, I can say they are not used to seeing someone with his level of injuries in spite of classifying as an LTAC facility, After settling in a little, I realized their cleaning staff has different standards than a hospital, even though they are supposed to be able to handle people with infections. Our room had clearly not been sanitized for a new patient. I understand it can be a little difficult to clean around patients, but this was an empty room. I can only call it a high level cleaning at best and I don't believe the restroom was addressed at all. The toilet and shower had CLEARLY NOT been cleaned. I addressed it with the staff first thing the next morning. The toilet was at least addressed. I bagged up the shorts that were left in the shower and added them to the trash. The shower and its previous tenant toe prints in the soap scum were addressed later when rehab elevated him to shower ready, saw the shower and addressed it with the cleaning manager. Even then, his mom re-cleaned it to feel it was acceptable for someone with an infection risk. My recommendation is that the Manager of the cleaning staff should inspect and sign off on each room/area made ready for a new tenant, at minimum. Another issue experienced early on stemmed from rough treatment early on. While not elderly, my husband was in a lot of pain from the broken pelvis and other injuries. When he needed to use the "bed pan" rolling was very painful. In spite of my assistance in supporting his leg during the roll, the staff was very rough in handling and cleaning. I can't imagine the ordeal that it is for older patients with more fragile skin and joints. I can totally understand why the patients might avoid bathing and other cleaning if the same heavy hands are in charge. Related to that are the quality of the standard mattresses. As I stay at the facility almost as much as my husband, I have experienced the standard mattresses first hand. At just over 40, I think I still bounce back pretty well, but my shoulders, back, and hips are still achy and sore when I get up (we don’t have a fancy mattress at home) and I don’t sleep through the night because of the discomfort. Buying a mattress topper only helped slightly. I don’t know if that is a facility issue or an industry issue, but for the sake of our elderly, a better mattress should be found/made to fit these tiny beds. If you HAVE to send a family member here and they do not merit an air mattress, I fully recommend investing in decent quality mattress toppers. (May need more than one eventually for mishaps.) The food is pretty bland and unappetizing as far as my husband is concerned. We do, however, understand that the normal clientele of a facility like this might prefer bland. Our biggest problem coming in was that in spite of filling out the meal cards, it seemed that the kitchen staff wasn’t paying that much attention to them anyway. It’s gotten better, but still can be problematic. Sometimes it’s simple things, like asking for Raisin Bran and getting oatmeal. Sometimes it could cause health issues. In our case, Vitamin K rich foods are off limits because of the blood thinner. So giving cabbage (or something like that) instead of whatever was asked for could cause a negative reaction with his meds. Not too much of an issue because we are coherent enough to make the decision to not eat the food that is bad for him (and/or go buy something at a local restaurant if needed.) It does make me wonder if the same things are happening to the elderly patients who might not be mentally aware of such issues and are just made to eat what is in front of them. We were only briefly spoken with regarding dietary concerns, and that was one week after our arrival. It seems like a discussion should be had regarding those needs should be had the day of arrival, allergens and interactions noted on the dietary card, and the card adhered to except where a client picks something that would be bad for them. (Sorry Mrs. Jones, you can’t have the sugar cookie with your diabetes. Sorry Mr. Smith, you can’t have Coleslaw because it will cause issues with your medications, remember?) Regarding the nursing staff, they are usually nice and try to be helpful, but are sparse and occasionally hard to locate. Should your nurse be on cafeteria duty, you can basically expect to get attention to what ever need you have in 60 or so minutes, because they don’t overlap care in the wings. This seems a bit questionable, as many of the patients (as I walk by the rooms on this wing) are eating in their room. What if someone happens to choke or get sick or have a reaction to a food interaction? If they can get to their call button in time and from where they are positioned, it may be some time before someone checks on them. I’ve seen call lights on over rooms for extended periods of time. And had patients call out to me from their room asking if I could get their nurse. Because of that, I feel my husband is lucky that I’m here to hunt down staff as needed. They are, however, very reactive if you decide to go out for air in the wee hours. We aren’t trying to escape the facility, just the smell. On the smell, please address the ventilation. Clearly there is no negative pressure on the restroom exhaust system or at least not enough. That combined with the carpeted hallways and the scent of feces that seems to have imbedded itself in much of the furniture (including the questionable mattresses) makes the air quality oppressive and often repulsive. If there was some draw pulling the funky air out and the fresh air in, the quality of living would be much improved. It can take hours for the smell to clear out from a single movement. (I sprayed aerosol at the vent. It fell down. It should have been drawn up a little at least.) 80 plus medicated and fibered people defecating throughout the day cause a continuous supply of smell. Surely a quality exhaust system would help. One last thing, would it be too much to hand out an Orientation Guide when checking in? There is A LOT of information coming at you at once when dealing with this type of move. Having something to refer back to would be a great help when the dust has settled and your loved one is (relatively) comfortable. Here are some suggestions to include • These are the items that should be in your room upon arrival, if not please ask. • This is how the schedule works (i.e. someone will be bursting into your room between 5 and 6 am asking if you want a changing) • This is how Nursing/Medication works • This is how assisted bathing/restroom time works • This is how Dining works • This is how Housekeeping works • This is the entertainment available continuously • This is how scheduled events and entertainment work • This is how visitation works, after hours visitation works • This is how having pet visits works and requirements • This is how rehab and other therapy works • This is how transportation to offsite appointments works • This is how x-rays and other odd necessities work • These are the staff types and what they are responsible for • A map to help you locate dining, rehab, entertainment, etc. • Calendar of events • Etc Every time we pass the “Zero deficiencies” Banner on our way to rehab, we shake our head and wonder if there is a really low bar to pass or if who is friends with someone. We absolutely would have been gone the first week if it had not been for the rehab staff. I can only hope that the new management raises the bar and makes this the kind of place you would want your loved ones to be in, not settle for because they are the only nearby facility that managed to pass as an LTAC.

An older facility, upkeep was fair. Most of the staff was very caring, unfortunately many of the staff including nurses and CNA's were rude, rough, uncaring. For example, if the nurse was in another wing of the facility, you would have to wait for the nurse to get to yoiu. It might be 10 minutes or 60 minutes. Housekeeping was extremely poor. Linen's were supposed to be changed once a week. Didn't happen. Dust balls under the beds remained, wet towels in bathroom were not picked up for a number of days. I would not recommend this facility.

Physically nice facility. Quite a few of the nurses and techs are very caring and nice, but they have several uncaring, rude, and borderline abusive techs that my mother was very afraid of. When I spoke to the social worker at Kindred, she seemed concerned and was able to keep this one particular tech from being alone with my mother for awhile but not long enough. Depending on which tech was in duty, it would take anywhere from 5 minutes (if good tech) to 90 minutes if at all (bad tech) to answer the call button. She developed rashes and sores due to this. Then clothing and other items started disappearing from her room for which the director doesn't seem to what to do anything about. We argued with her to fix these issues and after this continuing for awhile, we were asked to find a new place for my mother. I do not recommend this facility for nursing home use.

I am a friend of a patient. I visit with them often. They tell me the staff is great but the activities are boring. Most of the time my friend stays in her room because she is not interested in any activities. She only likes BINGO. She has only seen the Activity Director once. She feels that they need a director who can bring some fun activities for her too do. I met the assistant multiple times. My friend loves her. She always brags about her. She told me that she should run the department. Because she is more fun. Something needs to be done.

My mom resided at this location for over a year. She passed away due to negligence when contracting double pneumonia and became septic. The doctor should have known she had gone septic by reviewing the results of the blood tests. Most staff were not friendly and did not respond with any urgency. They could never get her dietary requirements right after many complaints. I strongly advise choosing another facility for your parents. I have great sorrow and remorse from my mom's death, which could've been avoided as the nursing staff and doctor should've been aware of the severity of her illness.

My husband was sent to this place, when I wanted him to go to a higher level of care. He has COPD and he was on high oxygen and I was worried they would not be able to care for him. I have been pleasantly surprised. The staff, for the most part, seem happy. The therapist, nurses, and Dr. Hader are amazing. I would recommend this place if you are in need of care and want to go home. We are on the road to recovery because of my husbands will and their experience.

My mom got here just few days ago. We had a terrible experience from the previous center and I was quite reluctant in choosing another facility in taking care of my mom. But when we were touring the place, I found the place neat, nice, and the people were nice, too. You feel this home-like environment. They provide short and long term care services and have a comprehensive treatment plan. Overall I am happy and comfortable with my choice

This facility seems to encourage more short term stay residents. The nurse to resident ratio may be rather sparce. As with any nursing facility, some of the staff is less friendly and others are great. One thing that's good about this facility is that it smells better than most. The director gets things done in a hurry. My mother resides there and wishes they did have more daily activities and more for her to do on the weekends. She enjoys bingo 3 times a week.
