Victoria Gardens of Frisco

The residents are happy, upbeat and lively! One of the most active populations I’ve seen in my 20 year career!

Victoria Gardens accepted my mother as a patient, and she was transferred to their facility Saturday February 17th after being in the hospital about a month and a half. When I arrived to visit my mom, the smell overwhelmed me as I waited at the nurse's desk 10 minute while the staff was scrolling on their phones before acknowledging me and telling me what room she was in. On Tuesday February 17th my mom called me in tears stating she didn't like it there. Come to find out at 4am in the morning the staff woke her up saying they were going to change her colostomy bag but didn't. Multiple staff members came to look at it and then proceeded to complain in front of my mother that they weren't and didn't like to change them. About 8am they finally changed it after asking my mom if she brought the supplies with her to change it! (you accepted the patient but asking for supplies, really?) I went immediately to the facility and spoke with Carmen the nurse director and expressed my concerns, but I felt as if I was talking with a wall. I then spoke with the hospital liaison and submitted a complaint. As I was getting to my mother room she was getting back from PT and needed to be transferred from the wheelchair to the bed. The nurse proceeded to ask me how they normally transfer my mom to the bed. I told the nurse they usually use 2 people and asked her shouldn't you know how to transfer patients. Her excuse was that it was her first day with her. She went to go get someone to assist her and came back with a lady who had a very bad attitude as you can hear her complaining as she entered the room. (Very unprofessional) Needless to say they almost dropped my mother. Had I not been there to slide the wheelchair back under my mom she would have fallen!!! I expressed that this is unacceptable care to the nurse director and hospital liaison. That day I requested a transfer to another facility. When I asked for an update Sunday February 22nd on the transfer I was told they would check on it and I didn't hear anything. Tuesday February 24th, I was told the transfer wasn't put in because the case manager was under the impression we had changed our minds. (Without talking with us) During my mom's stay she did PT/OT for about 20-30 mins a day, the rest of the time she was stuck in her bed. Her diaper was not changed, nor did they rotate her position in the bed without a fuss. When concerns were brought to the Center Director, he basically said my mom probably didn't remember. I had to tell him I am here frequently and have everything written down, even when I visit, I have to tell them to do things because if I didn't nobody comes in to check her! Not once was my mom offered to join any activities. The food was served cold the whole time and when asked why, we were told they were trying to get the hot plates fixed. My mom was supposed to be transferred to another facility on Sunday March 1st, but the discharge paperwork was not completed so she had to wait. Come Monday morning they didn't have transportation to take my mom to her dialysis, stating they had her down as discharged and nobody could give answers as to why! It took 3 hours for them come up with a solution and that was only because I called to get my mom a later chair time! Beyond happy when my mom finally transferred that evening to other facility! Complete chaos, unorganized care, and unprofessionalism is what this facility offers! The left doesn't know what the right is doing there! They made an already hard time even harder for us! I suggest you spare your loved ones and your sanity, take them someplace else!

Several problems the entire time my grandfather was there. They do not care. Did not take care of my grandfather properly when he has health conditions. Would not recommend anyone send their family members to this place.

Horrible experience with this nursing home. I don’t even know where to start. From medicine being given properly, cleanliness of my dad and the room, toilets not working for weeks, debiting more money from his account than authorized and never reimbursing, not calling back, not answering phones and then sending my dad to the ER so they don’t have to deal with him anymore. Even the ER told me this is something they do regularly. Look else where for you loved ones care.

If you wanna step in a skilled nursing facility that does memory care right ....stop by Victoria Gardens, Frisco! Marquita the Admissions Director will show you around ! This building intakes in the special needs of those with dementia! Bravo!!!!👏👏👏👏👏
