Bishop Davies Nursing Center

Bauldwin49

I have been using this facility for my brother respite for the past few years. He is a 100% disabled vet in a wheelchair but is able to transfer from chair to bed and chair to commode. He likes the facility as the room he is assigned allows him to transfer into/out of bed and use the restroom without assistance. He likes the staff and the food. He spend 10 days in November, 18 and we noticed that the facility could use some cleanup and the staff were not as responsive as in the past. It appears that the management needs to do a review of current staffing and procedures to bring the facility back up to the standards of a few years ago. My brother has been going to various nursing home facilities in the DFW area for the past 20+ years and at one time Bishop Davies was he best, but now it needs improvement. We hope this will be taken as a corrective review.

This building is horrible! There are a few staff members that actually do their job, but that doesn't make up for the 90% that don't do their job. The CNAs are lazy and don't want to care for the residents, they don't do simple housekeeping in the rooms like pick up old snacks and trash. There are roaches all over the building, they have had multiple cases of bed bugs. The administrator talks so rudely to the staff and does not allow the DON or nurses do their job. He may tell you one thing to your face but say something else to you later on that contradicts what he initially told you. The residents don't get their showers like they are supposed to. And over half of their staff don't speak or understand English so you can't communicate with them about what your loved one needs.

Never trust this facility with the welfare and comfort of a loved one. Our Mother required full time care as of July 9th due to a terminal illness diagnosed with several months to live; however, she did not receive appropriate care from day one. The nursing staff appears to be plentiful but they are lazy and useless. Even though family visited daily at various times of the day, the level of care did not change. It is obvious this is a for-profit business that spends no funds on decent equipment for the patients. They charge Medicare for the use of an appalling wheelchair without foot rests and leaves black marks on the patients arms due to crude repairs. Our Mother had to be rushed to the emergency room 2 weeks after admission due to severe bed sores, dehydration and pneumonia. Bishop Davies Nursing Center is an absolute dreadful place that needs to be shut down.

Bishop Davies has a monthly calendar of activities with a handful of things they can choose to do and be a part of. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Of the other nursing homes that I went to visit, this was by far a better overall facility. I'm very pleased with it. I deal with nursing homes a lot here in Oklahoma where I live, and generally nursing homes aren't very good. Bishop Davies also has bus transportation. They are very friendly. I haven't had anything bad to say to anyone. I think they have everything except assisted living. They have long-term care, respite, and hospice, too.

Stay away. Patients are neglected, the staff is lazy, the bathrooms are dirty and the staff will ignore all call lights. If you want to dump your relative somewhere and forget about them, this is the place for you. If you want your loved one cared for, keep looking.

We do not recommend Bishop Davies at all. Staff are not friendly unprofessional . They will loose your loved one's things and just state well I don't know where it is. It smells in here when you go down the isle it smells bad your loved one's will go to the bathroom and they will not change them for quite some times . Roaches in the room will there be in the kitchen area?? not sure we can't go inside. Sometimes they will forget to bring breakfast, lunch or dinner. All the nurses leaves at the same time and no one stays not even a single person stays at the desk in case someone calls to check on their love one's. The alarm when someone needs help it just keeps ringing and ringing and no one answers to see if one of the patients needs help. It just keeps going off. One day a lady said help when we went by one of the nurses said she will be ok I don't like to say anything to her when she is like that or when she does not say anything. The shared rooms sometimes the bathrooms are dirty and smelly and they don't care about it. They will loose you loved one's things in this place. Not a place to have your loved one's at. You can hear some of them screaming for help and nothing is done about it. This place does not care about anyone they don't take your love one's out of bed they just stay in bed the whole day. They get bed sores they don't check them as they say every hour or nothing. Stay away
