4 Star User Review
I read the reviews prior to placing my father at Park Manor of South Belt. They definitely turned me away; however, my dad’s doctor is well connected there. Had it not been for his doctor’s suggestion that he be admitted there, I had already done my homework by picking out and visiting another place altogether. But since the reviews were all over a year old, and things do change, I have a favorable review:
My dad was there for 2-3 months over the fall/winter 2014. Both he and my mother (she has since passed) previously spent time at another place in Pearland. His time at Park Manor was for the most part positive. I’d like for the staff (and those looking to place their relatives) to know how I rated this experience. I especially want to give accolades to the CNA’s who helped him keep up with his hygiene, as well as a woman who took him on his daily walks. So very important are these people. If I were to suggest one improvement, it would be that every resident have their own (wireless) headphones. Because many residents (short/long term) are hard of hearing. This would alleviate any uneasiness amongst roommates, staff, etc. Oh, and one more suggestion, a diaper wipe warmer (like newborn babies have). Nobody wants to have their butt wiped with something cold!
