Just placed her in the skilled nursing rehab yesterday. The room has a smoke alarm hanging from the ceiling, the bathroom looks like hasn't been cleaned in a week, the TV is i beloved a 20 in monitor they stole from someone's desk, I am amending this review. Working with the staff they explained that this room was the only room available the Saturday that were transferred here. They are working to update some of the rooms. They are moving us to a more updated room. The staff has been great to work with. My wife has alzheimer and they have been great about me staying with her. The reason for the 4 stars is based on the age of the faculty. I would give the staff 5 stars.
My husband received exceptional care during his stay at Garden Terrace in Fort Worth Texas. The staff here is truly outstanding. Every nurse we encounter was attentive, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to his well-being. It gave me such peace of mind to know he was in such caring hands. The facility itself is immaculate, beautifully maintain, and had a warm, elegant atmosphere that makes it feel like a rehab center, and more like a place of comfort and healing every detail from the cleaners to the professional yet friendly staff reflects the high standard of care they provide we are so grateful for the kindness, respect and professionalism shown to my husband throughout his recovery. Garden Terrace is truly a place where patients are treated like family and I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of quality rehabilitation care .
A family member was admitted Oct 7, so it has been two weeks, and her family is very satisfied with the care and support that she is receiving. The staff has been extremely helpful and kind, and we have zero complaints. Thank you for your commitment to those in need.
Very kind receptionist. We had a pleasant visit with the friends we came to visit. The OT was kind enough to allow us a few more minutes to visit then she returned after we left for her session. This was greatly appreciated.
We were recommended this rehab facility by another facility that wasn’t equipped to deal with the level of care that my grandmother needed. I am so glad that we brought her to Garden Terrace. Everyone has been so kind and caring. The patience they give to the residents is amazing. The therapists are motivating without being too aggressive and the nurses are responsive in a very timely manner. Everyone one within the facility is engaging with the residents and super enjoyable to be around. We couldn’t have asked for a better match. When and if she needs rehab again, we will be back!
