UNDERSTAFFED UNDERSTAFFED UNDERSTAFFED:<br>if you're conserding this place would highly recommend you checking the staffing ratio.<br><br>Employee turnover is biggest problem with Houston Transitional Care.. never seems to be able to retain the staff.. While communicating with newest staff members " they're being forced into doing way more work than the job requirements " Administration is a<br>joke..if you're trying to file a complaint with any 0 mmgrievance it's impossible because they're never on propety.<br>They're leaving soiled diapers on patient way to long because they're UNDERSTAFFED! GREEDY COMPANIES DO THIS STUFF! ADMINISTRATION never changes because they're following orders from their GREEDY OVERLORDS! UNDERSTAFFED is the biggest problem with this place.<br><br>They're opening residents mail and being contrite while doing it. It's against the law in doing this. All the Televisions in rooms are connected to the Internet with built-in listening devices for Amazon and whose ever providing the Internet.

This was my first time every being at a rehabilitation center and my experience was excellent! The staff were attentive and caring especially in the physical therapy department. They have a very supportive environment and stay focused on helping residents regain independence and achieve their recovery goal . The facility is very clean and comfortable I socialized with other residents and staff all day! Meals are served on time, and the dining staff are very friendly and attentive. I truly feel I have made some friends for life from encouragements we gave each other and doing daily fun activities that gave me joy! But, most of all the recovery I have made through a positive environment!

If you care about your loved ones then don't take them to this place. The staff is horrible & is only there for a paycheck. Poop was left on my dad twice overnight. We removed him from the facility due lack of concern & basically staff not doing their job. Reached out to the supervision over the facility & the concern level is the same. Zero stars is what they deserve from me but unfortunately you have to give the bare minimum.

Extremely disappointed with the care and treatment of the elderly residents at this facility. Seniors deserve patience, compassion, dignity, and proper attention, and that was not consistently shown. Very concerning experience for families trusting this rehab center with their loved ones. Horrible! Let me add no security!

Transitional Care Facility on Jason Street<br><br>I am deeply disappointed with the care my father received at this facility. He was left in feces for 24 hours, which is not only unacceptable but also inhumane. Additionally, he was not fed during his stay, raising serious concerns about the staff's neglect. To make matters worse, when my mother tried to address these issues, the staff threatened to call the police on her. This treatment is alarming, and I would not recommend this facility to anyone looking for proper care for their loved ones.<br><br>​
