MUST READ!! And yes I did give this facility 5 stars, please continue to read my review and you will understand why. I read some of the previous reviews which were actually pretty old and they weren't very detailed. People are always more inclined to leave a review of dissatisfaction then complacency because dissatisfaction prompts change. Granted NO FACILITY any where is PERFECT.... but this place has lived up to my expectations and has earned my trust for caring for my father.

I have seen/heard of a lot of nursing facilities level of care by word of mouth from people I have known and from the ones I have seen first hand. My husband worked for a company that managed nursing homes all over Texas so he has physically seen many nursing homes in real life all over.

Moving on, my dad has a lot of needs and his level of care is high. He has a lot of health concerns (as any senior might)..... but he first had such a severe brain bleed/stroke in 2016 that nearly almost killed him. On a severity scale of 30 his stroke was a 26-27, leaving him pretty incapacitated. It caused him to become completely paralyzed on his right side unable to walk or move his right arm. He was unable to communicate and we weren't sure of his level of understanding after his stroke. He has been in 5 facilities, 2 being (2 locations) of the prestigious health south. His recovery would be a long and arduous journey. He went to Health South Richardson for recovery and rehab after he was in the "stable" level. This is where he had an incident with a "feeding tube" placement that introduced a flesh eating bacteria into his gut that sent him into septic shock so quickly he nearly died. The events leading up to this incident are and were unclear and never explained ( which I can see why, can we say LAWSUIT). We were told by the treating hospital that it could have been an issue of him pulling out his feeding tube accidentally and someone not equipped or knowledgable tried to reinsert it back into his gut. This hospital had to put him on immediate dialysis and do a gut removal surgery to try and remove the infected area as flesh eating bacteria can kill you VERY QUICKLY.
