2/22/2025 I was held against my will today. I had to literally call the police to leave because my DON told the RN supervisor not to relieve me, and then proceeded to tell me I would face abandonment charges if I left. Needless to say the only reason I gave one star is because I’m going to miss the people there that I’ve grown so close to.

Don’t leave your loved one here. We checked our loved in on a Friday afternoon. Our loved one was in good condition and improving daily. That same weekend, on Sunday morning, our loved one passed away.

Do not leave your loved ones in the poorly managed facility. Staff is unconcerned for the well being of residents. Total disregard for the needs of the helpless and vulnerable. The staff sitting at the front desk, as you walk in, will not lift their heads to greet residents or families. They are unapproachable. Our loved one did not receive incontinence care and was rarely bathed. Meals were sub standard and unappealing. Staff does not engage or respectfully interact with residents. From administration down, we were so disappointed with the lack of communication and concern.

I'm giving this place 5 stars because my father may be residing here soon, and this may be the best place in Texarkana with a "locked" unit. Not to mention all the 1 star and "zero star" reviews have absolutely no feedback, which helps no one.
