I am not a resident, nor do I have relatives who work or reside here. However, my husband and I visit a variety of nursing homes on a pretty regular basis (4-5 times a year) either in connection to our business or to drop off donations (magazines, etc). As a result we see many different nursing homes. Caraday of Lampasas ALWAYS stand out because the employees and residents seem so happy! Everyone is smiling, employees actually say “hi” and have eye contact. They thank us for stopping by. Residents are talkative. We’ve seen them dancing to live music, playing games. The facility is clean and does not smell. We do NOT see this at other local facilities. Caraday of Lampasas really stands out!

Putting my grandma in a nursing home was a hard decision but everyone at caraday has really made it a smooth transition. The staff is so caring and patience. I couldn't ask for better poeple to look after her when I'm not there.

Neglectful. They put up a “caring” act. If I could rate it 0, I would. It’s what they deserve. If you want to sleep good at night knowing your loved ones are cared for, reconsider this place. Food is good, but bedside manner and whoever runs this place needs to reconsider their career choice and their attitudes to residents and their families. The one star is for the food because thats ONE thing they can get right.
