Families highlight daily communication about patient progress, clean facilities, and courteous staff from admissions through discharge. A visiting family member wrote, "throughout the entire pandemic they've gone above and beyond."

My family and I are very grateful with the Laredo West staff. From admissions to discharge process, everyone was very attentive and diligent. Nursing staff kept me informed about my family member (patient) at all times. The facility was clean and staff were courteous and patient with us all the time. Thank you for taking care of my family member. It takes a great heart to work with elderly patients. God bless you all!

When my father arrived at this institution I saw a poster at the entrance that talks about its values, and I thought that anyone can write it, but in all this time that they have given attention to my father I have seen that what is written there is done with each person who is there. I pay special attention to "COMPASSION" because in reality each of the people who work there are very compassionate, loving and helpful. I think my father is in a place where a family takes care of him. Thank you for everything you do.

Short staffed and left patients unattended. Patients have to share a room, therefore limiting their space and privacy. Food was horrible. There are also issues with the laundry. Clothes/ blankets going missing is a frequent occurrence. Wouldn't want a loved one in there.

Mil gracias bendiciones para todos y cada una de las personas que laboran ahi.
