Key Review Excerpts
“Reynalda Juarez and the highly skilled nurses gave my brother a second chance at life. He was discharged to Childress after refusing a second amputation at another hospital. Thank goodness he was!”
“My grandmother lives in the nursing home and is undergoing therapy in which they are very thorough and very in tune with her physical and emotional needs I am very grateful that she is at the nursing home.”
“The acuity of some of the patients is far too great for the staff that they have. Corporate continues to send patients from other towns that no one else will accept. There is not enough staff to provide adequate care to the patients.”

The most recurring issues involve nursing staffing (repeated problems with registered nurse coverage), dietary services (food safety, preparation, and meal timing), and infection control. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations in nursing and dietary care suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully consider.
