Many thanks to the wonderful care givers during my husband's final days. This time was hard on him and all who love him and the kind staff is appreciated.

I had what was at first the dubious pleasure of spending two weeks in this facility in early May. There had been three hospitalizations since February and it my recognition of progressively getting more and more debilitated that made me decide to get into a rehabilitation program; it was an easy choice to go into this facility sincere it is about fifteen minutes from my home and my son's business. I was most pleasantly surprised! The building is relatively old ( 70's I think ), but beautifully maintained, there are enough activities available to wear the most energetic resident out, ( both group and solo ).There is a hairdresser who offers full service from what I could tell. Volunteers are in each week to do nails, and the selection of polishes is staggering; they also do men's nails, so gents, don't worry about growing those dreaded 'nursing home claws.' There is a library nook, with books, jigsaw puzzles, a cd player and an old fashioned record player, and for anyone into the recent pastime of adult coloring, ample supplies and books. Most, if not all, residents have tv's in their rooms and there is a monster screen tv in the lobby/living room with ample, very comfy seating for those who ambulance independently. Residents who are wheelchair bound sometimes keep the chairs by themselves and sit in the available couches, easy chairs, and recliners. I have to interject my high praise here: The food is WONDERFUL!! I gained over six pounds in two weeks!!?... and I eventually stopped eating breakfast ( the staff still brought OJ to my room each morning, and I never requested it ) . The first weekend I was there was the annual crawfish boil, with all invited. There were friends, family, residents, dogs....and the director brought her horse to give the kids rides! Since I am from Louisiana, food is of primary importance to me, and I loved the frequent southern food....YUM: collards, and pound cake with fresh ( not frozen and thawed !! ) berries! Staff is highly competent and very well chosen. There is one staff member, I was told, who has been there for seventeen years , which is a statement in itself. I have both visited and worked in facilities of this type, and there have always been some conflicts somewhere. It is human nature, not everyone gets along with everyone else. I saw not one incident of nastiness or argumentiveness the entire time, and all seemed to buy into the concept that resident care is primary, not personal emnity. Well done, y'all ! One last thing: I was expecting to be there as long as three weeks for rehab, and was out in two! I give the credit to the many therapy disciplines: physical, speech, occupational (I am a registered respiratory therapist, recently retired after some forty years, so I round out the basics. ) They gave me the credit and I, them, so guess we will share it. I am sure I missed someone, we always do in articles like this, and please accept my humble apology, whoever I have skipped. I did not keep a written record, and my brain at this age has gaps.....sorry. All in all, if I have need of a facility of this type again, I would not hesitate to go to Hill Country Care again!A late note-- I was tickled to death (put many exclamation marks after this statement !!!) to be able to have my little dog with me. When I asked the administrator, she replied that it was okay, but I had to be able to completely care for her.... it was NOT to make ANY work for staff. That is supremely fair as far as I am concerned. So, my little Bitsy came to stay with me. She normally sleeps with me so that was not a change at all. I put puppy pads down for her in my room ( sometimes when I am sleeping I don't wake when she gives her quiet word. That is not new). I fed her in my room, and there are multiple sites where she was able to do her thing. One was a door to a small garden area about three feet from my door. At first it was all wheelchair, but after that first week I was on a walker, and things got more efficient. There were almost always visitor pups.
