Won’t let me give it 0 stars . Care there is super unprofessional and the staff lacks knowledge on caring for patients with feeding tubes , can’t seem to follow simple instructions from surgeons and is a horrible place to have your family .

I never thought I would write a 5 star review for a nursing home. But here I am, there are not enough words to express how thankful I am to find this facility. I transferred my mom to this facility from another and have been shocked at the differences between the old facility and Skilled Care of Mexia. I keep a camera in my mom's room to check in on her throughout the day due to her condition. This is what I have seen every day. 1. The aides come in each morning take her to the restroom then help her pick out her clothes and dress her, fix her hair and during this time they take the time to talk to her and laugh and treat her like an adult with love and respect. 2. My mom likes to eat in the dining room and they make sure they come and get her everyday to take her to down to eat since she cannot wheel herself down. After each meal they also take the resident to smoke. My mom has smoked for over 60 years and this is a highlight of her day. They have a sweet lady that takes time to go and purchase resident cigarettes for them. 3. If I ever call about any concern such as her medicine or how she is feeling they address my concerns quickly. 4. The rooms are amazing not like 99% of other nursing homes they are large she has privacy with her own window and AC/Heat she can control it’s very clean. We are so blessed that a small town had such an option as this for our lives ones that may need it. Thank you Skilled Care of Mexia and all the Staff!!
