Negligent care.<br>While this is a beautiful facility and the staff seem nice, they did not provide adequate care to my brother. In the 4 weeks he was with them, he went from weak but able to stand and walk, to bedridden, unable to turn over by himself, and in excruciating pain from being in the same position for weeks.<br>He had a STAGE 4 bedsore that covered his entire backside and went all the way to the bone. He was admitted to the ER and ICU at the hospital and when BSA call the facility they denied knowing that he had a bedsore. Then they denied that it was bad. The Sepsis from this bedsore left him in excruciating pain and ultimately killed my brother.<br>They are currently under investigation by the State of Texas for negligent care.

Negligent care. While this is a beautiful facility and the staff seem nice, they did not provide adequate care to my brother. In the 4 weeks he was with them, he went from weak but able to stand and walk, to bedridden, unable to turn over by himself, and in excruciating pain from being in the same position for weeks. He had a STAGE 4 bedsore that covered his entire backside and went all the way to the bone. He was admitted to the ER and ICU at the hospital and when BSA call the facility they denied knowing that he had a bedsore. Then they denied that it was bad. The Sepsis from this bedsore left him in excruciating pain and ultimately killed my brother. They are currently under investigation by the State of Texas for negligent care.

I need to get in touch with Steve, the Director. I need help with care. I use a wheel chair. Please, come see me. I had to go to rest room . One took me in wheel chair. But, it apparently, wasn’t her job to hand me lotion for very dry legs . My full bottle of Gold Bond lotion must have been thrown away with empty white bottle of lotion. My rollater walker I can use with gym therapist plus, wheel chair he also, pushes behind me.is on other side of room . My tv remote in middle of room and no one will bring it to me. Nurse , aids walk by constantly , looking at me and I ask for help to get to bed and was ignored.. The excellent nurses aid is the pretty young black woman called Dee. Her name is longer.

My mother was there for less than 24hrs before she had to go back to the hospital. They “couldn’t figure out how to turn her oxygen machine on.” The next day my brother walked in, grabbed all of her stuff and left without being stopped or questioned one time. They failed us.
