St. Dominic Village

Ingrid

We have chosen St. Dominic Village for my mom. I like the level of care and the accommodations. They have life alerts for all of the residents in the assisted living facility. So if anything happens, they have someone on 24 hours duty. The staff who assisted me during the tour was excellent. The facility was clean. Everybody seemed very friendly. The residents looked well taken care of. They had various levels. They have the nursing home, independent living, and assisted living which was more of a hotel-style with a studio apartment. So my mom will have her own restroom, own bedroom, and privacy.

I have several friends that lived at St. Dominic Village. Everything is very nice over there. The room is very nice, refreshing, and homey. Everybody was very accommodating. The dining area was nice. They have games, music, and fitness.

I went to St. Dominic Village. My tour was very pleasant, I was very pleased with the layout of the apartment, the young lady was very pleasant, and very easy to work with. I did put a deposit on the unit, but I decided to keep my home. It was very clean, I saw the dining room, a socio-gathering room where they do arts and crafts, and I met a couple of the residents there.

I love St. Dominic Village. It's wonderful and everything you could expect. They provide activities and three meals a day, and I have independence to do what I want. The food is great, and it's made by Luby's cafeteria. The staff is great. It's an older community at over 30 years old, but they maintain things very well.

I visited St. Dominic Village. It appeared to be a very nice facility, well-run, and I was able to get a lot of information, or to make a decision on where my mother wanted to go. It’s a great place. The director took me around to all the facilities, and they have independent, assisted living, and skilled nursing. They have a chapel on the promises, and it seemed to be well cared for. The staff member was excellent, very well knowledgeable about the place, and was able to answer my questions. The facility was up to date.

St. Dominic Village is nice and quiet on a large piece of property with a lot of trees. Everything is quiet and clean. The rooms are more like independent living, but there’s no kitchen, so it might be for people that are not as independent and don’t want to cook. It’s like a large bedroom with a separate sitting area where somebody could watch TV or sit on a small couch.

I visited St. Dominic Village, which is a Catholic community, and I was very impressed. The lady who gave me the tour gave me all the information I needed. They have a very impressive community. They have meals catered by Luby's, which is very good. They're very professional and I wouldn't mind living there. It's an established senior community. It used to be a college and they converted it to what it is now. It has a large campus and it's secure. Being a Catholic community, they have a large chapel and a lot of religious services. I'm not Catholic, but that doesn't really matter. They have an outdoor space for people who are interested in gardening and indoor activities. The place was very clean.

We were given a tour of St. Dominic Village. The staff was great. The facility was clean and had a family atmosphere to it. Family members can visit. It's like an apartment, and the price was reasonable. The staff was very knowledgeable about the caring industry and aware of the importance of family involvement. The assistant director who took us for the tour explained to us about the role of the staff for the patients' care. My ex-husband is a veteran and it's three blocks from the VA, so he could have quick access to VA services.

St. Dominic Village wasn't for me. They had a studio apartment, which was very dark and closed-in. I can't live in that because I need space and light apartment. The staff was wonderful. They had a library and an exercise room. It really wasn't for anybody who's active.

St. Dominic Village is a nice place. It is super clean. Some rooms are wonderful; they're freshly painted. They got a nice place there. I saw the gift shop and the lunchroom. They had a menu on the wall for the day, which really looked good. All the meals seemed to be well rounded. They also showed me some common areas, and they introduced me to the lady in charge. She was very good with people. Any questions I had, she answered them quickly, and I could understand them. I met a couple of the staff members, and they were all very friendly.

I put my stepson in St. Dominic Village. The food is good. My son has his own television and a bright, private room that he likes. They have activities like all senior places do, like bingo and outings. I am just very impressed with all of the personnel. The nurses are great. The environment is lovely.

My mom is at St. Dominic Village. The staff is very caring. I'm very happy with it. My mother is in extended care, and the room is comfortable, but it is more like a basic hospital bed. Food is very good. My mother loves the food. Security and safety management are very good. The doors automatically locked, and nobody comes in without being buzzed in after 8:00.

I am very pleased with St Dominic. First, it is close to my home so I can visit my brother any time. Also, my brother likes the place. He is very pleased with the place, so as long as he is happy, we are happy. We don't have any complaints with the services. They were able to provide anything that we asked for. For all of the holidays, they always have some little activities to make it very festive for the people who live there.

Should get zero stars. They messed up Mom's meds frequently, lose her clothing, leave her naked in the shower for an hour. Now, they have started charging for everything from giving a pill to changing a light bulb, laundry, bathing....all of which was covered. No discussion, no notice, no justification. Added over $500 to my mother's monthly bill of $4300.

I would not place another family member in this facility ever again. The unit manager transferred my mother to bed and dropped her. My mother was never changed in a 12 he period I came to visit at 4pm to find my mother sitting in a puddle of urine. Employees are not drug tested and talk about drug on the work place. The nurses don't care about the patients. This is. Horrible place

Mother and mother-in-law were at this facility three months and two months respectivley in 2012. Myself and husband visited most every day and found that staff said our mothers were bathed on days that we know was not true. Weekend staff failed to administer medications as prescribed. RN on staff one evening was totally unresponsive to one of our concerns and avoided discussion by going into a resident room and shutting the door. Husband and I filed separate complaints with the THHSC and Medicare. Not a well run facility and blatant coverups of mismanagement. We moved both mothers out to other facilities.

St. Dominic Village has been around for quite awhile, and the facility is largely run through the Archdiocese of Houston. They are located smack-dab in the middle of the medical center in Houston, where there are a lot of good hospitals, so that's a great location. The facility itself offers a lot of programs and services to residents. One staff member that I talked to said they provide 24-hour care, including nursing. They set up seasonal holiday parties for the residents, and they have fitness workshops for the residents. They also host a lot of different cultural activities. They provide three meals and nutritious snacks throughout the day. I didn't taste the food, but it looked well-prepared. The snacks are generally something like fruit salad. The grounds are well-kept, and there's great access for parking. They're also located on a bus line. They're a fairly expensive facility "“ it starts somewhere around $2000/month, and goes to about $5000/month. The residents have nice sized rooms "“ probably 12 by 12.
