Mom was not ready to leave, but Medicare said her time had ended. Mom missed her dog not being with her, so she'll have him at home with her now.

Short people get the best care. If a med aid calls in on a short term house they pull from long term making them wait on their meds. My mother is on meds that need to done at certain times and when they pull the med aids she does not get them the way she should. I have been actively looking for another facility to move her to.

My wife had a ruptured brain aneurysm last year then followed by a stroke two weeks later which…read moremade her paralyzed on the left side and affected her speech/swallowing. She was in Dallas for acute care and was discharged to Abilene rehab facility where she started her rehabilitation. After about 6 weeks and slow progress, it was suggested by the therapists that she would benefit from being transferred to TLC, a post acute brain injury rehab center. Our family was somewhat cold to the idea but since our insurance approved it, why not give it a try? On the 2nd day at TLC, my wife was walking with minimal assistance!!! We were happy and extremely impressed at her progress. Counting 6 weeks now, she is walking on her own, feeding herself, and gaining her weight back. This place is where miracles happen. We cannot say enough thanks to the wonderful staff. We need more places like this in Texas.

I had been to several treatment facilities and sober livings prior to stages of recovery. I think…read morethe difference between those places and stages of recovery is the strong sense of community and support that was always readily available to me whenever I needed it. I moved from the east coast which wasn't an easy decision for me to make but the folks over at stages made that transition less difficult as they became family to me. I can honestly say that stages made more of a positive impact on my life than anywhere I had been before. I don't know how to be grateful enough for the people at stages because without them my life would not be where it is today!

A very dangerous detox situation was experienced here by my 28 yo son…read more He was put in a room to detox with no medical supervision- and quite possibly no nurse was even on the premises from Friday night when he got there until Sunday morning when he called to tell me his blood sugar reading was 518!!! When I called to ask them to take him to ER as he could go into a diabetic coma, they discharged him and made him wait outside the gate until I was able to come get him from 2 hours away

They have serious…read morecommunication issues from administration (wouldn't return my calls), business office (what I owed them changed 3 times in 15 minutes, did not keep me up to date with accounts), social worker (was not specific when communicating with me then blamed me) and nursing (did not notify me when my loved one fell and was transported to ER, lost clothing and glasses). They were as happy to see me go as I was to go, but they were going to discharge two dementia patients who had nowhere else to go. If you do end up with a loved one here, be vigilant. Visit every day and ask questions. Better yet, just don't use this place. It ended up being a nightmare for us.

DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONE TO SOUTHERN SPECIALTY. I would not even give one star for this facility…read morebut in order to leave a review I have to give one. This facility required the full month payment for my cousin in advance so my aunt paid it immediately. My cousin had cancer and the facility could not manage his pain. His doctor gave instructions to transport him to the emergency room via ambulance. When I relayed the instructions to the nurse I was yelled at and told that I needed to let her do her job and that my cousin did not need to go to the emergency room. She stated she had 30 years experience, she's a nurse and she knows when a patient needs to go to the emergency room. That night my cousin's pain was unmanageable at their facility and suffered dearly throughout the night. The next morning the facility transported him to his doctor appointment and the doctor's office immediately sent him to the emergency room. My cousin never went back to Southern Specialty and four months later, my aunt has not received a reimbursement for the days she had prepaid. We have called for two months regarding the reimbursement and have only received the run around. I personally have spoken with Brittany and Raymond regarding this matter and have been promised they would follow up and return my phone calls. Not one phone call was ever returned. As of today, Brittany informed me that the account had been "zeroed" out and I needed to contact corporate to speak with Vivian. Of course, I had to leave a voice mail message. DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONE TO SOUTHERN SPECIALTY, they will not be cared for.
