This place doesnt even deserve ONE star. Neglect, lack of care, unprofessional, unreliable, short of staff, nurses or CNA dont check on residents even if they have an emergency. Ive seen bedrooms alarms not working, oxygen tanks empty, faking medical records and so on. Please DONT bring your love ones here if you love them. Seniors deserve better care and respect. Look at the news on KSAT and youll see what am I talking about

Dont bring your family here. This facility is a complete joke, the nurses are unresponsive and lack communication, management was laugh as well nothing but gossip and falsely accuse employees on actions they werent responsible for. Seen so many residents be neglected and often set to the side for another shift to deal with. Never seen anyone take responsibility for their actions instead they rather point the blame to another rather than come forward and admit what they did was wrong. I highly advise anyone not to work here or bring family members to this facility. Ive seen nursing homes

It doesnt matter if someone gets a wrong number just politely explain that its the wrong number. Dont be rude and hang on on people while theyre talking.

I dont know who gave them the idea of shady practices because its a lie. I have lived here and been in the rehab as well. I live here now and I am on the resident Council. The director of this facility is a man of character. If he sees a light on and hes walking down the hall he answers the bell himself and make sure that its taken care of. They have a resident Council were complaints are heard and taken care of. They write up the complaint from there it is taken to the head of that department and the head of that department has to investigate and bring it to the satisfaction of the
