Top 94 Nursing Homes near Salesville, TX. Page 4

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.

Very nice place but issues with staff turnover and clinical knowledge are deficiencies. Meds not given on time. Loosing meds. Food not on time, not producing meals that are on the menus, only offering a sandwich multiple times. Not enough staff to take orders and deliver food. Facilities staff is great and the administration staff is nice and helpful.

The halls are a little dusty but the primary focus is geared toward their residents. I can appreciate that. The main areas are well maintained. The facilities manager is direct and kind with a firm understanding to be clear, open, and honest. The residents are friendly, so far that we know. Sign language is a must have to communicate properly, as well as, a respectful awareness and consideration of the blind. Many of the current residents are deaf or blind. All maintenance issues are dealt with promptly, the staff are patient and kind though assert a firm authority. Centrally located near city transit. Primary physicians visit the facility. All physicals, x-rays, etc. done in house. Only Specialists must be attended to in town. Activities are pretty standard but some are limited (such as, trips to wal-mart are limited to 6 residents once a week), however, special requests can be made for consideration. If you're interested in this facility, don't just call or write. Pay them a visit. Don't rely on return calls, not that you won't get one but that they are very busy with hands-on management of their residents. It is best to show up, rather than sit around and wait. If you decide to wait, give them a week to return your call. It won't take that long but settle in to be patiently waiting before allowing frustration to curb your choices.
