I've seen the nurses yell at the residents and also ignore them while they ask for help

My sister was transferred at Hill Country for a few weeks to recover. Everyone is very nice and attentive.

Good staff but needs training when dealing with family members. If your family member dies mid month they won’t refund you for the rest of the month… at least not quickly … it’s been almost two months now…. 🤷‍♀️ maybe the corporation that took over doesn’t care… hope that doesn’t trickle down to the residents

When we decided to place our family member at Hill Country Rehab, we were very impressed with the entire staff. From top to bottom they were patient, kind, caring and comforting. We highly recommend Connor and the entire staff, this place is amazing! Thank you!

My Mother receives amazing care. I have read the 2 bad reviews. There is a shortage of staff everywhere. Every time I go visit, which is daily, I am always 100% met with enthusiasm and care from every individual I encounter. Prior to moving my Mother to Hill Country she was in another facility where I witnessed repeated neglect. Do not judge a book by its cover. I am VERY happy with the care Mom is receiving. The activities are great, the management is great, nursing and all support staff, all fantastic.

How our free service works

Texas asks us to share this in writing.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

By submitting, you're okay with us and Hill Country Nursing and Rehab reaching out by phone, email or text. Always free for families; if you move in, the community may pay us a referral fee, never you.
