If you are considering placing a loved one in Landon Ridge's Pathways Memory Care and are unable to…read morebe present every day, there are some important things you should know from our personal experience. My father was a resident in Pathways from October until his passing in May. He was only 63 years old. During his time there, we encountered repeated and deeply concerning issues that other families also experienced. 1. Financial Mismanagement Despite repeated requests, we were never provided invoices during my father's stay. Charges frequently increased without explanation, and management was consistently unresponsive to emails and phone calls. We at one point were told we owe thousands of dollars without ever knowing why. Yet after their audit, it was confirmed that we did overpay by thousands of dollars--yet we still lack full transparency or assurance that all overpayments have been identified and reimbursed. We never figured out what was going on. 2. Medication Misuse and Chemical Restraint We witnessed multiple incidents of medication errors, including staff administering the wrong medications during my father's panic attacks--sometimes giving him medications meant for other residents. Even more alarming, there were repeated reports among families of chemical restraint practices, which are illegal in the state of Texas. We are one of those families. Families were often told their loved ones were "aggressive" and required additional medications or private caregivers--an added, unexpected financial and emotional burden. We were part of a family council where these issues were openly and frequently discussed by multiple parties. 3. Living Conditions The condition of my father's room was unacceptable. Food would be left on the floor, his incontinence accidents were not cleaned up in a timely manner, and the room was consistently dirty with sticky floors, gnats, and flies. This was not an isolated occurrence. We had to clean his room every day. 4. Falls and Neglect Falls often went unnoticed and undocumented. If not for the camera we installed in his room, my father could have remained on the floor for hours after some of his falls. I had to visit at night on multiple occasions to address why he was not dressed, not medicated, or lying on the floor without assistance. 5. COVID-19 Mismanagement During the height of the pandemic, Landon Ridge failed to report COVID-19 cases to the state as mandated. My father, among others, contracted COVID during this time and his health rapidly declined thereafter. Several residents, including ours, suffered serious falls linked to post-COVID complications such as vertigo, and there was no increase in supervision despite known fall risks. 6. Retaliation and Administrative Negligence There is a clear pattern of retaliation from management. Families who raise concerns often report decreased attentiveness to their loved ones' care. In our case, the head of nursing barred our hospice nurse from seeing my father on the very day he was transitioning--reportedly "due to a personal grudge." We were never consulted or informed of this decision, which left us blindsided during an already devastating time. This individual has also been known to expel families from the facility with little or no warning, particularly those who raise concerns or question care practices. Families are advised to have a backup plan if they advocate for their loved ones. Families have reported to us that they were given as little as five hours to vacate. 7. Corporate Indifference When we escalated our concerns to corporate management in Fort Worth, we were dismissed. I was told, with little professionalism, that the reported issues "never happened" and "couldn't happen." Days later, corporate staff arrived at the facility and openly criticized me to other staff members. If you are considering Landon Ridge Pathways for your loved one, please do your due diligence. Many families who experienced similar issues are unable to speak publicly but wish they could. If you would like clarification or more information, I am open to sharing our experience. Families deserve transparency, safety, and respect. We did not receive that at Landon Ridge.

She is genuinely happy there, and seeing her this way again has meant so much to our family. The staff has been wonderful. They are always encouraging the residents to get involved, and there is always something going on. I've seen my grandmother participate in tie-dye, jewelry making, pool days, happy hour, and more. They recently had an Alice in Wonderland-themed fashion show, and the residents who wanted to participate got dressed up, had their own music, and walked the runway. It was honestly so much fun to watch, and my grandmother loved it. She also loves going to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She talks about the food all the time, and there are lots of choices. The facility is always clean, and the staff is very attentive. One thing I really appreciate is that they check on my grandmother regularly without her even having to push her call button. We are just really grateful we made the move. It has been wonderful watching her settle in and become part of everything going on around her. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

One of the big things is when we entered the place there was no smell of urine it was clean and fresh. I am glad we went and looked for ourselves instead of listing to the reviews. The one thing is the place is not cheep!!

My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease 12 years ago. When the memory care facility near…read moreher Iowa home told our family in 2014 they could no longer care for her, we decided a big move to be near me in San Antonio was the best thing. Through A Place for Mom, I found Colonial Gardens and grateful they had a place for mom! We've never regretted it. They're dedicated to dementia-related residents and the facility design is conducive to that: the two buildings with up to 16 and 20 private rooms and homey dining and living rooms. Both have huge, peaceful fenced backyards. CG is older than many facilities in town, but generally well cared for. However, the caregivers make the difference at CG. Despite the fairly frequent turnover of some staff and directors over the years, our favorites remain constant and genuinely caring (Executive Director Georgina Merrill and her team, to include Laura Maharich, are great). We can never thank them enough for their dedication to be mom's loving extended family. Remarkably, she's been at CG for almost 6 years with little illness except the continuing decline from the Disease, which is a testament to the great care she receives there. (As I write this review, we're in the midst of The Pandemic and they're selfless in protecting our loved ones.)

Checking into the facility, I noticed it looked a bit old and had walls being repainted BUT it looked and smelled very clean. Despite this, I has my reservations about leaving my mom. It was the first time that we had been in a situation where we required extensive nursing care outside of our home. Then, I met Lela. She is a nurse manager at the facility. Immediately she sensed my apprehension. I expressed that I didn't want to leave my mom. She encouraged me and offered reassurance. She said, "Maybe the building needs TLC and we're working on it but, I guarantee you, the people here are the best at what they do and you're mom will excel." So, although I was hesitant, I left my mom, and returned the next day and the next day and the day after that.... What I witnessed was truly remarkable. Having been a patient and being a Nurse Practitioner, I can tell you that medicine isn't always kind...except at Sonterra Health Center. Every single staff member that the facility has amassed CARES for their patients. They take their lunch breaks in their patient's rooms if they notice someone feels lonely, they come in with a smile at the beep of every call bell, they gladly change out food trays if the least bit of disappointment is expressed. Every single person has gone above and beyond to support my mother as she heals. They even provided my mother with a volunteer opportunity to do some social service, which lifted her spirits. The testament to the staff was that when it came time to go home, she didn't want to leave! I will never use another facility for skilled nursing. Hands down, the best place!!!

I spent an extended period at Sonterra Rehabilitation Center, so I saw this facility from the…read moreinside. I want to be fair: the CNAs, nurses, and therapists were some of the kindest, most compassionate and hardworking people I have ever met. Many work extremely long shifts doing physically and emotionally demanding work. My criticism is not directed at them. My concern is management. I became especially concerned about an elderly resident who told me she was terrified of her roommate, who has Alzheimer's. She reported being physically attacked and waking at night with her roommate standing over her threatening her. She became so frightened of her room that she sometimes preferred sitting outside in the Texas heat. I personally approached the facility director, explained the situation, and asked him to intervene. He promised to look into it. Before I was discharged, I confronted him again and asked whether this woman's situation would actually be resolved. After leaving, I checked on her and learned that the problem still had not been meaningfully resolved. Sonterra later contacted me about my evaluation. I again explained the situation and was assured someone would investigate. I checked again afterward and was told that nobody had come to see her as promised. This particularly bothers me because this resident appears to have nobody consistently advocating for her. I cannot know why her concerns have received so little attention, and I will not accuse anyone of motives I cannot prove. What I do know is that a frightened, vulnerable resident repeatedly asked for help, I personally asked management to help her, and I still saw no meaningful resolution. During my stay, I also had concerns about the food, insects in resident areas, staffing levels, and what I personally observed as a lack of meaningful interaction between upper management and residents. My advice to families is simple: there are wonderful frontline caregivers at Sonterra, but advocate strongly for your loved one. Visit frequently, ask questions, pay attention, and don't assume management knows what is happening simply because staff have been told. I have written commendations for Sonterra employees who provided me outstanding care because good people deserve recognition. But vulnerable residents also deserve someone willing to speak when something is wrong. Every resident matters, whether they have money, family, influence, or nobody at all. They are human beings deserving dignity and safety. I tried repeatedly to address this internally before writing publicly. I hope Sonterra's management addresses this resident's situation and proves my concerns wrong. --Kenneth Holder, former resident
