    Spotless building, inconsistent understaffed care

    I found the building spotless, with pleasant surroundings, activities, lovely decorations and several genuinely caring staff (Susan, Jeremy, Eve, Elvis, James, Kathy, PT Falyn, social worker Rhonda, director Ryan). However, care is inconsistent and understaffed: long call-button waits, rude or unresponsive nurses, delayed meds and bathing, and inadequate/limited therapy. Food and meals were frequently awful or lukewarm, room options small and private rooms costly with refund issues. Overall very clean and some excellent employees, but quality of care and staff training need serious improvement.

    About Cornerstone Gardens

    Cornerstone Gardens in Temple, Texas, sits at 763 Marlandwood Drive and offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and long-term care for older adults, drawing on years of experience in supporting recovery from surgeries, serious illness, and injuries, and you'll find there are 45 certified beds available as of June 2025, with around-the-clock nursing staff and a 24-hour call system always nearby. The staff manages daily activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, moving from bed to chair, and medication-all in a place that values individualized care and resident comfort, with both private and common rooms that include air conditioning, cable TV, telephones, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, and private bathrooms. Folks can choose from physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and post-operative care, along with memory and assisted living services. The facility supports people who need non-ambulatory care, help with transfers, and more advanced support like wound care with V.A.C. therapy, TPN/PPN nutrition, handled surgical drains, management of PICC lines, respiratory care, CADD infusion pumps, on-site physicians and dietitians, and even specialized clinical attention whether someone needs cardiac, pediatric, or psychiatric ICU care, along with hospice, all under a strict supervision focused on safety and comfort.

    Residents can enjoy a variety of amenities like an arts room, a fitness room, music and movie programs, a library, spa and wellness rooms, outdoor gardens and walking paths, a dedicated activity room, and even all-day dining with meals overseen by a professional chef who works with allergy and special diet options such as diabetes-friendly meals. Social programs, movie nights, resident-run activities, and a family and resident council help create a lively community and offer support for everyone. There are also transportation and parking services, community-sponsored activities, move-in coordination, and both housekeeping and laundry, so daily living is a little easier. The skilled team works with nearby home care and hospice providers, and other Temple-based communities like Arbor House Temple and Temple Living Center West and East. The goal is always to help each resident maintain the highest quality of life and independence possible, providing care plans that suit each person's needs through both short-term rehab and longer stays as needed, and Cornerstone Gardens has a long-standing reputation in the area for high-quality, compassionate service, confirmed by its accreditations.

    The facility takes Medicare and Medicaid, making it accessible for many, and offers a welcoming, thoughtfully designed environment with resident-centered care. There's a strong focus on safe transitions for both the resident and family into long-term living, and the place offers respite care if someone's caregiver needs a break, or end-of-life care when needed. Support includes help with doctor visits, audiology, advanced wound care, medication management, registered dietitians, and discharge planning, all provided by a dedicated team of professionals. As a for-profit skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility, Cornerstone Gardens also sits within a Continuing Care Retirement Community, offering a wide range of support for elders living with memory issues like Alzheimer's, or those needing extra assistance after time spent in a hospital or surgery center, all in a clinical setting that's designed for safety, comfort, and personal attention.
