THE COLONNADES AT REFLECTION BAY
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
The Colonnades at Reflection Bay has a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranking #851 out of 1168 facilities in Texas places it in the bottom half, and it ranks #9 out of 13 in Brazoria County, suggesting limited local options that are better. While the facility is showing improvement, reducing issues from 11 in 2024 to 8 in 2025, it still has alarming incidents. The staffing rating is average at 3/5 stars, with a turnover rate of 52%, which is similar to the state average, and they have good RN coverage, exceeding 78% of Texas facilities. However, there are serious issues, including critical failures to prevent pressure ulcers and administer medications correctly, which have resulted in hospitalizations and potential harm to residents. Overall, while there are some strengths in RN coverage, the serious concerns highlighted by inspections suggest potential risks for residents.
