Mercy House

My loved one was here. It has really gone down in the last year. Nasty floors! Starting to really smell like urine. A few of the caretakers are really good and care. Otherwise the employees aren’t trained and come straight off the streets. The Director, tells everyone of all the license he holds. He doesn’t hold any from the nursing board of Arkansas or Texas. Please don’t leave your loved one here unless you have someone with eyes on them at all times. The memory care in this title is not true. They zero experience or training with dementia.

My dad lived at Rocky Hollow Lake House for over two years, and our experience over the last six months was deeply disappointing. Despite my mom repeatedly asking for Dad's room and bathroom to be mopped, his bed sheets to be changed, and for him to be showered at least twice a week, these basic requests were often ignored. The toilet in Dad's bathroom was out of order for multiple days. Dad lost 13 pounds during his last seven weeks at Rocky Hollow Lake House because the facility lost their cook. Additionally, there was constant turnover in the housekeeping, maintenance, and nursing staff, which severely impacted the quality of care and services. Due to these issues, my mom, sister, and I decided that Dad could not stay in this poorly managed facility any longer. We ultimately moved him to a different memory care facility where his needs could be properly met. I hope this review assists others in their search for a memory care facility for their loved ones.

We chose Sodalis Waco because they were offering the care we needed, they were the only place in town that provided daily respite care and I did not want to have to put him into a home. I would want others to be aware of the fact that they do not handle aggressive behavior very well. The director was not there to oversee what was going on and we have to end up transferring him. Overall, I would not recommend at this point.

My brother in law's mom lives here. Everything has gone downhill since new owners took over. Just thought you might want to revisit. How do I take this one off my list?

I took a tour not too long ago. Was not impressed. Very understaffed, the workers that were up and running were non stop. Theres not enough activities being done with residents. The price is way too high at the facility. Most of the caregivers were nice and willing to help others even with other things going on. When i was walking thru facility, i noticed the residents having trouble sitting in chairs , the bottom stayed up on most of them, that is a safety concern. Very loud as well. Not a place I'd be happy with taking my father.

Mercy House was a definite no for us. When we were touring none of the residents looked happy at all and the place was just down-trotting. They had 9 shared rooms and only 2 bathrooms. We were not impressed.
