Mercy House

Facility has lots of cosmetic issues throughout both homes. Staff tells you what you want to hear but don't always follow through. Facility seems poorly run. Told 2 to 4 hours of activities but seems only to have an hour each day and nothing on weekends.

The place needs a good scrubbing of the floors and the patient room floors were nasty ! The girl running the place does not have a degree yet and is not even 21 years old. It's a big important position that needs, to be held by someone more mature and with at least a masters degree in the field.The girls that deal with the patients are wonderful.

The overall experience is far to good. The cleanliness is far, our loved one is not out of her room enough but she has had mold in the main room. The staff members help our loved one up but they will not work with [name removed]. More lack of quantity when it comes to quality of the care. Meals are ok, the activities are rare but she is brought out to the. She liked the movement to Elvis

I was not impressed with Sodalis New Braunfels at all. The main turn off for me was the lack of bathrooms that the facility had.

older building. nice grounds and quiet surroundings. incontinence supplies not included in price. no separation for assisted living vs memory care.

This is not a good place for your loved one, My dad was extremely bored due to the lack of activities. The food was often cold and was of very poor quality. I would not recommend this community to others.

Small community, nice staff, dorm style with bathroom down hall. No private living area, bath, closets. Seems residents are too low functioning for my mom who just needs some help. Not enough stimulation for her.

We toured this community for my mother in law, and her needs. Our went well, and everyone was very kind to us. The community looked great, everything was very nice, and clean. It was a good experience, but we did find a community that suited my mother in law needs better.

I enjoyed my tour of this community that I had taken a short time ago for my father. The staff where vert helpful and friendly and made sure to give us lots of great information of there facility for my father. I just did not like how closed off everything was and the floor plan just seemed a little awkward for my liking.

Overall this a community I would recommend, but I would recommend that they improve on their wound care. My mother has had some accidents, and I don't feel her wounds were tended to properly. Other that that issue they do a good staff here. They have been really kind, and attentive. They do a good job with the cleanliness of the community. Everything is working out pretty well so far, and this is a good community with kind people .

I did a tour of this community. It was an older building, not very open. There were very few bathrooms in the community but they were always locked. The staff was wonderful i did like the way they were.

This place would be appropriate when the patient has almost no or no idea where they are or who anyone is around them. The caregivers are kind. There’s very little to do besides watch TV or sit outside. Very small facility.

Sodalis Memory Care is very pricey. The medications are not covered at the VA. We are paying a lot for my father-in-law to be there. I wouldn't say they are terrible but they are kind of in between. He complains about their food. They give him a lot of pasta and he is diabetic. He tells them that a lot and they don't listen to him. The staff always greet you and ask how you are. They do no activities here. I guess that's why my father-in-law is bored. We are trying to see what to do.

The only activity I was aware of was an employee picnic. The medicine was not given properly. The bathrooms were kept locked. The food was poor. There were no activities for residents. The administration was unable to help with our issues. We withdrew my mom after only a few days. The staff would often be in the other physical building so unable to help. Also the other residents were not alert enough to be companions.

I would not recommend Mercy House of New Braunfels to anyone that has a loved one that needs extra help and is in the last stage of life. They are under staffed and if your loved one is unable to feed themselves or toilet themselves. This is not the place for them. Mom was unable to talk and tell us anything but her health rapidly declined once moved in. They have a nice staff and facilities it is just understaffed and poorly run.

Most of the staff were nice and helpful, but maybe a little lazy. The current Director is horrible and impossible to work with and communicate with. Housekeeping was a big problem. They don't have housekeeping available on the weekends and it was pretty obvious from the filth you could see at those times. The meals seemed okay. No I would definitely not recommend this facility.

Our family had an in person tour and we were just not really impressed with it at all, it was to small and we knew it was just now the place for our loved one.

No bathrooms in the room, they are in the hall and the clientele have to get a staff member to unlock the door. This was not the place for our mom.

I do not recommend this facility. We met with management on [Date Removed] regarding ongoing safety and care concerns. The front gate has been broken for months, wheelchair access is difficult to not possible, and exterior areas had wasp nests, debris, and slip hazards. Cameras are not monitored, some do not work, and evening/overnight shifts are not overseen. Despite being told residents are checked every two hours, our family-installed camera showed our father placed in bed mid-afternoon on [Date Removed] and left there for many hours. We also documented him awake and mumbling throughout the night, yet staff were unaware. On[Date Removed] we requested a room change after repeated physical aggression from his roommate and provided video evidence. The owner was frequently on-site but never engaged with families. Our family expected a safe, attentive, and well-managed environment. Instead, we encountered unresolved maintenance issues, inconsistent supervision, and limited accountability.

We pulled mom out after only two days. First, they messed up her medications, multiple times. Second, they left the bathroom locked because one of the residents was putting silverware in the toilet. One time when mom needed to use the bathroom there was no staff in the house, they were apparently across the way in the second house Not only did this cause her to not be able to use the restroom, I feel it was very dangerous having no staff in the house at any time. Third, we brought some food specifically for her to be able to have in between meals, at their suggestion. We brought bread, peanut butter and jelly. However, when she asked for a snack, they couldn't find the food. I did not feel safe having mom stay there. I debated reporting them to the State but ended up just focusing on mom I will say the one fantastic thing they did was set her up with a wonderful nurse practitioner for her wound care. Also, the food that they served was brought in from a local restaurant made into a large casserole dish, and they just spooned it onto the plates. My mom thought it was all horrible slop.
