St. Gabriel of Corpus Christi

The staff at St. Gabriel is quite varied. All ages, men and women, young and a bit older. All showed great care for the residents. Getting the residents involved is often difficult, but many attempts are made daily. My husband's attitude varied from day to day, but the staff continued to work with him. The nurses are especially professional and caring. I would recommend St.Gabriel to anyone who enjoys quiet time and plenty of personal space.

Our granddaughter and I checked a good many care centers before we picked st Gabriel‘s. I feel like we made a great choice and my wife is as happy as can be Expected under the circumstances. The staff is outstanding.

Staff stole my husbands expensive ring the first night he was there. Staff left memory care patients alone for 15 minute periods at a time. Found my husband slept in the same clothes he wore the day before on several occasions. Rounds at night were not consistent. My husband fell during the night and no one was aware, I found out the next morning when I went to bathe him and found bruises on him. His room was disheveled and some of his clothes in the shower wet. Patients were given dinners that were too hard for them to chew nacho chips, tortillas chips too hard for them to eat. The place made me believe they would take good care of him, and I found the opposite. I took him out of there before the scheduled time . Total nightmare!

The community is kept very clean, and we like that it does not look like a facility it looks more like a nice hotel. Based on our experience so far we would recommend St. Gabriel of Corpus Christi to others.

Everything seems to be nice and clean every time I go to visit. They're very friendly ,and I think the head people are doing very well.. THe meus look good and the meal that I tried was pretty good. They seem to have a wide scope of activities. My loved one seems to be in good condition. She has no complaints as far as I know. I think they do very well as caretakers. She's a fall risk, and I feel they do the best they can to keep her safe. So I'm pleased, and seems like my love done is too. I think they're doing a very good job, and I'd recommend them.

The staff members there were very accommodating with helping our loved one move in and move in her belongings. They also were great helping us move out her belongings. Our loved one was only there a month and during the restrictions, but we do believe they did the absolute best that they could. She was extremely happy with the meals, and they were able to have some activities going. The activities director came up with a lot of different ideas on how to keep the residents engaged. The residents were able-to garden which was our loved ones favorite thing, they could pot plants and garden out in the courtyard. The staff were also great with keeping our family informed and always keeping us updated.

Everyone has been very nice. [name removed] who is the activities director is very good and keeps the residents active. They keep the residents in mind with their individual needs. It's very close to home for my mom. This has been perfect for her. I would like for them to have pets or a therapy animal for the residents.

I am a full time care taker of my husband. He needs 24 hour care. I was able to trust in the care and excellent service he was given during his respite stay. It helped me have a much needed break to relax and spend time for myself. I highly recommend St. Gabriel of Corpus Christi. Give [name removed] A call she will make the transition an easy one.

St. Gabriel is a very clean, secure facility well-suited for elderly who have issues with advanced dementia. This is also a caring community, with employees who visited our mother and made her cookies during a recent hospitalization. Recent upgrades to staffing and activities have made St. Gabriel even better.

I was so happy to find a community that just caters to memory care. The staff is very caring and the facility is very clean and pretty inside and out my aunt loves the food and is very much at home at st Gabriel's. Thank you

I visited St. Gabriel's of Corpus Christi is hopes of moving my Mom closer to my family. I was told they are now under new management and have a lot of positive changes going on. One thing I really liked is that there is a nurse in the building around the clock, not just on call. This is important to me as my Mom sometimes has issues with her blood sugar. Having a nurse right there will help to lessen hospital visits. They also have menu choices even for memory care. I love that, sometimes food is so important to good health. The food looked amazing and I was able to see the menu for a whole month on my tour. The staff was so friendly, and they were all interacting with the Residents on their level and that made it feel so like home. The person giving me the tour was also able to give me resources on groups to help the family deal with Alzheimer's and was invited to a meeting they are having there. I also loved that all care in included in the price, that I only have to bring her personal items. This is a great savings and they offered to help me with her long term care paper work. I also love the fact that they only do memory care there. Residents were doing activities on their level in small groups which was a plus. There is also secure outside areas for them to garden if they would like. This experience made me feel more at ease on this journey. If all works out and my Mom moves I will choose St. Gabriel. You should check it out.

I toured looking for a place for my parents that will be moving to the area after the first of the year. My Mom's dementia is worse than my Dad's, but he needs memory care also. I was so pleased to see that they will each be taken care of in their own place in this terrible disease. They have nurses there around the clock to assist with needs, and that is a big plus at putting my mind at ease. The staff was all smiles, and interacting with the people living there. It is more like a home not like a hospital or nursing home. I was there when lunch was being served and the food looked amazing and smelled great. I am now not as worried about this move.

This is a beautiful community. The staff is welcoming and very involved with the Residents that live there. It feels like a home and not a facility. The Residents all look happy, and well cared for. The updates being made are amazing, more than expected. When the time come to make the move to memory care this is where I will choose. [Name removed]

Beautiful place for love ones . They have a team that is caring and friendly. They are there to answer any questions or concerns you might have. The daily activities are a MUST for their residents. They enjoy quality time on a daily basis. The staff is always visible when I visit.

This is a beautiful community, and the staff did a great job showing me around and answering all my questions. There were lots of amenities for the residents here but I knew that it was not going to be a good fit for my mother as she would be better in a more home-like atmosphere and a much small community. I would definitely recommend coming on a tour here.

My mother was only at this community for a short period of time and while she was there everything just went okay. I would say there about five caregivers that work there that are exceptional in what they do. The rest of the staff just seemed very careless in my opinion. I ended up pulling my mother out after a month because I just was not satisfied with the overall care she was receiving.

Thrive Memory Care in Corpus Christi needs a higher ratio of quality caregivers to patients. Right now they say it's 6 to 1, but in reality patients are being left alone too much–caregivers call in sick or some are just lazy. There are great caregivers: [Removed] were also great, but there are many CNA's that just don't have a maternal instinct. They need to find another line of work. I think Thrive is the best Memory Care Center in Corpus Christi, but that's not saying much. I did not want to leave my mom there. Maybe it's good for some, but not my mom. She is now living with me.
