HOUSTON TRANSITIONAL CARE

My recovery was successful, and I grew great bonds with staff. Teena motivated me everyday in therapy! I left with a smile on my face and proud of all I accomplished at Houston Transitional Care.

My husband has been here since Jan1st.2026 . First the good things. The Rehab people are nice and so are some nursing and CNA staff. Food is tolerable but its presentation sometimes is less than appealing. Now the concerns: Staff don’t really talk to or engage the patient much just do their jobs quietly and leave. So for non mobile patients that don’t get many social opportunities, the days are long and lonely if family is not there. Although my husband’ s plan states changing briefs and rotating every two hours the reality is 4 to 7 hours with very infrequent rotation and poor blocking. ( I have a camera) My husband is 100% immobile and one of the reasons we choose Houston Transitional was because they told me there where lo-air mattresses on the bed which was true until they took my husband’s off his bed and gave it to someone else a couple of days ago which I am not happy about. My husband has a history of previous pressure wounds so when you take away his lo flow air mattress, not changing and repositioning him every 2 hours he is at high risk for getting pressure sores again. Although I have tried repeatedly to make an apt with the Director of Nursing she does not return my calls. I haven’t yet tried talking to the Director but will try that next. There is a problem with communication between the Rehab department and the Nurses that has affected my husband’s hospital appts greatly. Don’t come here for speech therapy or you will be disappointed. Although I have asked repeatedly for someone to set up my husband for daily teeth brushing it has not happened. I have also asked repeatedly for maintenance to come fix the thermostat in my husband’s room because it is not working and that has not happened. The place is cleanish but rundown and in need of lots of refurbishing. Towels and facecloths are scarce. The only outside sitting area is where the smokers also sit with butts on the ground and in front of the entrance door. What ever company owns this building does not appear to care to keep it up to a higher standard. *Update 3Feb2026, cooling / heating unit replaced in my husbands room with new unit✔️Thank you. ** Updated 23Feb, 2026,1 week+ after move out to different facility - Brief changing and repositioning went from very bad to worst 10 hours no change. -Numerous holes in bed sheets -Significant water coming through room ceiling during rain storm. -Lost of 7 pairs sweat pants and 3 or 4 shirts all labeled. - No return calls from Director of Nursing, Social Worker, Maintance or Business office after five days of repeated calling and leaving messages. ***Beware this facility has a non-responsive administration and does not seem to care about providing services to more involved patients. Go elsewhere. Houston Transitional Care has put up a new 2026 webpage that doesn't allow customer reviews to be submitted, This should be a warning right there. -

At my stay here at Houston Transitional Care it was very pleasant. With that I would like to acknowledge the Activities Director Chelsey. She is a very energetic and positive Activities Director. Any activity residents like to do she makes happen with fun! On our Bingo days me and other residents get very excited! We look forward to attending! As for crafts I enjoyed feeling creative and loving what we do. She is never rushing us to finish activities and lets us take our time. She talks with us and socializes with all the residents. From my opinion she is a person of understanding and I'm going to truly miss her!
