10 Best Nursing Homes in Downing, TX

I would choose Oakwood over other options in the area because of the level of care my loved one received. Her aides and the nurses were very responsive and always friendly, and they were very good about being very sweet and compassionate through the ups and downs of dementia. They were also very good at talking her into doing what she needed to do as far eating, grooming, physical therapy, etc. Oakwood was very diligent about cleanliness. The care was good, but turnover made things difficult sometimes. The director and one nurse in particular were not very engaging, and we saw them go through three different directors while we were there. But the aides were just amazing. My loved one didn't participate in a lot of activities, but when she did she enjoyed them.

Good overall experience but room for improvements. The cleanliness is overall ok, but could be better. Staff is great. A couple of complaints here. I feel they are understaffed some of the time causing residents to be left unattended too long. And they are not real good at passing information about residents from shift to shift. Other than that, I feel the quality of care is good. He is very content there. Food is great. The activities person is super nice, but I wish they did a little more. Like morning chair exercises and hand therapy. The activities chart says they do, but that must be in the assisted living part, not the memory care unit. . It went up [fee removed] per month earlier this year, but still less than a nursing home or 24 hour at home care.

So far my mom is settling in nicely at the Redstone Park Retirement. The overall atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and attentive to my mom's care needs. I have not had a chance to dine there with my mom but she thinks the food is good and it looks good. Her room is very nice, we wanted a bigger room, but this one is working out just fine for her and she is happy with it. They have rocking chairs on the porches for the resident to get outside and get fresh air when the temperature cools down. The best thing I can say about Redstone Park is that my mom is happy here and that is what matters the most. I would definitely recommend this community to friends and family.
