    Friendly staff, inconsistent care, unsafe

    I had a mixed stay: the nurses, aides and PT/OT were often professional, friendly and helpful, the food, activities and atmosphere felt welcoming, and staff kept families informed. However care was inconsistent - understaffing, slow call responses, safety incidents (I once had to call 911), reports of neglect/theft and weak management follow-up - so I'd recommend only with close oversight and caution, not for very ill residents.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment is highly mixed, with a striking split between reviewers who experienced compassionate, skilled care and those who reported serious safety, neglect, billing, and management problems. Many families praised individual caregivers, nurses, therapists (PT/OT), the admissions team, and activities staff — describing them as kind, professional, communicative, and effective in rehabilitation and engagement. These positive reviews emphasize attentive one-on-one care, clean and comfortable rooms, pleasant communal spaces and outdoors, and helpful communication that reassured families. Several reviewers specifically named staff who provided strong support and cited good therapy outcomes, clean laundry and clothes, and an activities director who kept residents engaged and content.

    However, an equally strong cluster of negative reports highlights systemic issues that raise safety and quality-of-care concerns. Recurrent themes include understaffing and slow or unreliable response to call lights, which reviewers connected to delayed toileting assistance, prolonged soiling, diaper rash, and missed or delayed medications. There are multiple serious allegations of neglect and abusive behavior — examples include residents left wet for hours, removal of call buttons, nurses using profanity, mocking family members requesting simple care such as flu swabs, and claims of staff taking urinals away or leaving them full. Some reviewers described critical lapses at pivotal moments (including during end-of-life situations) that caused significant family distress.

    Safety and security issues were repeatedly reported. Incidents include an alleged theft of a wedding ring with unsatisfactory management response, exterior doors found unlocked, bed falls, and physical environment problems (chipped tiles, broken walls, fallen fences, and reports of fire ants in a room). Several reviewers raised concern about maintenance and exterior cleanliness (smelly dumpsters, dirty exteriors) and questioned licensing or management oversight. Billing problems and suspected staff financial exploitation were explicitly noted in a subset of reviews, adding a financial safety worry on top of care concerns.

    Management, supervision, and consistency appear to be key differentiators across reviews. Positive accounts frequently reference proactive management, prompt communication, thorough admissions, and follow-up from social workers. Negative accounts point to defensive or insulting administrators, poor follow-up on questions, lack of after-hours supervision, and perceptions that high monthly fees are not being invested in adequate staffing. Reviewers report notable variability by shift and by unit; families who received a strong point of contact and consistent staff experienced much better outcomes than those who encountered uncaring or inexperienced personnel.

    Dining and daily living present mixed feedback. Some reviewers praised the food and enjoyed communal meals and events; others reported cold in‑bed meals, forgotten utensils, pressure to eat in the dining room, and inconsistent meal quality. Laundry and personal item handling also varied — while some families received clean clothes and paired communication, others experienced lost laundry and poor tracking of belongings.

    Given the polarized experiences, patterns suggest the facility can provide excellent care under certain staffing and management conditions but may also pose real risks when those conditions are not met. Key risk signals in the reviews are repeated and specific: delayed medication or none for days, removed or nonfunctional call buttons, soiled residents left unattended, alleged theft and weak incident response, and inconsistent cleaning/maintenance. Conversely, when staffing is adequate and leadership is engaged, therapy, nursing, social work, activities, and family communication are repeatedly described as strengths.

    For prospective families: plan a thorough, in-person assessment. Observe staffing levels and responsiveness during different times (weekdays vs. weekends, day vs. night), tour patient rooms and common areas (including security of exterior doors), ask about call response times and after-hours supervision, inquire about medication administration protocols and recent incident reports, request documentation on pest control and maintenance schedules, query billing practices and safeguards for residents’ finances, and meet the nursing and therapy teams who will manage daily care. Ask for references from recent families in similar care situations (short-term rehab vs. long-term nursing) and verify licensing and inspection records. The facility appears capable of delivering high-quality, compassionate care in some cases, but the frequency and severity of adverse reports indicate the need for careful, specific due diligence before placement.

    About Reunion Plaza Senior Care Center

    Reunion Plaza Healthcare & Rehabilitation offers a broad mix of care options for older adults who need nursing, rehabilitation, assisted living, or memory care, and they're set up to handle people living with Alzheimer's or dementia with a license for Memory Care from the Texas Department of Social Services, and they're certified for up to 85 residents, so some folks can stay short-term for rehab after a hospital visit, while others may live here long-term with 24-hour help from skilled nurses, daily RN coverage, and outside doctors and therapists stopping in, plus a resident financial consultant is available if somebody needs advice. There's help for most daily needs, including help with getting dressed, moving around from the bed, using the shower, and getting to the bathroom, and there are psychiatric services, respiratory care, even trachea and IV therapy if needed, so whether a person needs ongoing medical support or is just looking for support with meals and cleaning, the staff is there. Residents get one or two prepared meals each day, and the community handles housekeeping and laundry, either as a service or with on-site washers and dryers. Activities run pretty often, with the activity team putting on things like crafts, games, bingo, movie nights, music sessions, birthday celebrations, social evenings, and even workout classes, and there are planned outings, worship services, and shopping trips with transportation arranged. The building's updated, and has private rooms and private showers, a reading room, a spa, salon, outdoor sitting spaces, game rooms, and a dining area with room service if you want to eat in your room. Therapy is available every day, including physical, occupational, and speech sessions, and they offer aquatic therapy, wound care, and hospice and respite care options too. Folks living here can be as active as they're able, with support to help them stay independent, and there's a real effort to get people involved in social groups, making friends, or joining events to keep up their spirits. The staff-a mix of nurses, therapists, an advisory physician, and licensed aides-work together to look after each person based on their needs, with attention to privacy and safety, and the community takes both Medicare and Medicaid. Reunion Plaza also runs services for adult day care, home care for people living nearby, and other medical support, trying to keep everybody comfortable whether they need a little help or full-time nursing care, and the experience is built to let residents live as fully and independently as they can.
