Overall Review of Retama Manor Nursing Center

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Theft and missing belongings

Some families report missing money or belongings during stays.

A recurring complaint is that valuables were taken or funds were accessed without proper authorization, including reports of missing cash from a room and money taken from a relative’s purse. Other reviews describe broader incidents such as unauthorized access to bank cards and missing items like wallets, radios, and jewelry. Several of these accounts also describe feeling that staff responses or communication were not timely or were inconsistent with what families were told.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Food quality is mixed

Residents describe food that ranges from decent to disappointing.

Some reviewers say the meals are enjoyable or prepared well, and a few mention respect for dietary needs. At the same time, others complain of meals arriving cold, repeating too often, or tasting overly salty, including accounts of meals that did not match expectations. A smaller number of reviews connect the dining experience to a broader pattern of care problems, describing food and related assistance as areas that need improvement.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Cleanliness shows up both ways

Reviews split on cleanliness, odor, and room upkeep.

Several families praise a clean, well-kept facility and say they noticed little to no odor during visits. Others strongly disagree, describing roaches, dirty rooms, and problems with changing linens or room readiness. A few comments suggest cleanliness may vary by floor or unit, since some reviewers had positive experiences while others reported serious housekeeping failures.

common 7 reviews mention this

Activities help residents stay engaged

Activities and social time are a frequent part of daily life.

Many reviewers mention residents having things to do, including organized activities in common areas and resident engagement during visits. Families also describe activity directors and social programming as reasons they felt comfortable with placement. Even among the more critical reviews, the presence of activities is often framed as a support for keeping residents occupied, especially for those who want structured days.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Care responsiveness is a concern

Some families question supervision and urgency during medical events.

While many reviews describe prompt, attentive nursing care, a separate set of accounts raises concerns about delays, communication, and supervision. Examples include reports of falls without proper notification, missed calls, and serious medical complications after issues were allegedly not handled quickly enough. A few reviewers also describe difficulty getting clear information or feeling that staff were not responsive when help was needed.
