    Good care but staffing issues

    I had an overall positive experience - therapy was outstanding (physical therapy really helped) and my loved one showed clear progress. Staff were mostly kind and caring; the social worker and many nurses stayed in touch. The facility is very clean, bright and well-appointed, with tidy rooms and generally good meals (dietary needs accommodated), though food quality was mixed. Major downsides were chronic understaffing, slow call-light responses, some unfriendly night staff, delayed/messed-up meds and inconsistent communication from leadership. Small but recurring issues: laundry/supply hiccups, non-user-friendly remotes and occasional missed therapy or weekend coverage. Therapists and doctors recommended this place and I would, too - but be prepared for staffing and communication caveats.

    About The Brazos Of Waco

    The Brazos Of Waco is a skilled nursing facility with 119 beds set in a community of more than 61,000 square feet, where the staff works around the clock to give both short-term rehabilitation and extended stay care, and they pay close attention to keeping residents as independent as possible through daily help with mobility and activities. The building has highly secured areas to keep residents safe and prevent wandering, and folks there can choose from private suites or shared rooms, both fully furnished with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, plus you'll find air-conditioning, telephone, cable TV, and Wi-Fi in each room, which makes it comfortable for someone who likes modern conveniences. The meals use organic ingredients, and food preparation and service is handled by the facility, which is handy for people who don't want to cook, and there's also regular housekeeping, linen changes, laundry and dry-cleaning provided so that residents don't need to fuss with those chores.

    Residents receive 24/7 personal care and medical supervision, and the staff develops individualized care plans, provides medication management, infusion therapy, advanced wound care, tracheotomy care and weaning, and pulmonary rehabilitation, all with access to board-certified physicians for extra assurance. Skilled nurses, caregivers, and support staff help with everyday needs, high acuity healthcare, and physical rehabilitation services, trying to keep everyone engaged and healthy. There's a beauty salon and a barber shop for haircuts or grooming, common areas inside and out for gathering or enjoying the weather, and an outdoor therapy courtyard for rehabilitation, plus organized activities, both on site and off, give folks a chance to socialize or explore if they want.

    The Brazos Of Waco arranges transportation for medical appointments and things like shopping, and has a 24-hour call system for emergencies or assistance, so someone always has help close at hand. The facility welcomes volunteers, accepts donations, and opens up job opportunities in a variety of roles-care, administration, support-with equal opportunity employment practices. The mission centers on compassion and professionalism in caregiving, and there's a clear effort to honor each resident's dignity by following federal civil rights laws and making sure no one faces discrimination. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, private funding, Medicare replacement plans, and managed care insurance, and helps residents find financial options so they can get the care and benefits they need.

    Visiting hours are recommended from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., making it fairly easy for family and friends to stop by, and planned admissions can be made any day or time, even on holidays.
