20 Best 2 Year Nursing Programs In San Antonio, TX (2022 Updated)

Am enrolled in the truck driving school at Eagle Pass; it is our final day of class. The staff and instructors at SWTJC — Eagle Pass respond to all concerns with genuine care and attention for helping any student succeed. PRICE: 5 STARS At approx: $3600.00 USD, this price cannot be beat! The national average for CDL school is $5-$6K USD. Not only will you learn to drive standard– not taught at all schools– but, you'll have professors who have 15-20+ years of experience in all aspects of CDL work. Professors are definitely there to collect a paycheck; and, most hold driving jobs elsewhere. All professors show significant interest in helping others on their way to better jobs. CLASSROOM TRAINING: 3 STARS One MUST speak or understand Spanish fluently in order to pass this part of the course. At least 1/2 of the instructors speak Spanish only. If you do not speak Spanish, it is best to speak with Mr. Olivares or Mr. Talamantes, they'll elaborate until the concept(s) is understood. Expect lots of repetitive, memorization-based [classroom] curriculum. DRIVING TRAINING: 3 STARS There was definitely not enough drive time– the fail rate for the CDL exam is stark, and sobering. Double-clutching is not taught on standard 10-speed trucks. Expect to have uneven distribution in driving time per student. Some will drive more than others, and it is easy to fall behind. Expect to argue with your classmates at least once over who gets to drive– not enough trucks, nor space in the yard for 16 students. If one doesn't run to get the keys from the professor– much like a dog chasing after a bone– he will not drive. TRUCKS: 3 STARS Trucks are constantly breaking down. Air conditioners do not work on at least 1/2 of the trucks; expect to sweat in the summer, or freeze in the winter. Trucks are worn out, and filtly– lots of student sweat, oily surfaces, and grime all over the insides, disgusting. Mysterious beeps emanate from the dash, grinding noises are common, leaks are common, and check engine lights are intermittent. Bring hand sanitizer! Bring laundry money– the yard is very dusty. FACILITIES: 5 STARS The campus building is brand new — the janitor works harder than anyone! The truck practice yard is very dusty, muddy when wet; yet: floors are still immaculate. Bathrooms are serviced everyday, and the classrooms are clean and organized. A computer lab would be nice for job applicants post-training. SWTJC has a library– 5 min drive from CDL building– available for guest computer use. Altogether, a pretty good school. Administration is responsive and open to addressing concerns, classroom material(s) are well-prepared, and you'll learn to drive a standard. I'd definitely recommend this school to a friend!Joseph Ruel

Technical classes I do not recommend …teacher wants you to google or YouTube everything or expect for you to know everything….we going to college to learn not to pass the day eating and seeing what recreation bull they got going …seems like instructors are more interested in eating and being googley eyes …when I had question ..never found the instructor around….I would never go back …unless of course I have to finish what I started but if I can transfer ..I will definitely do that…. NO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!Esperanza Esquivel

The eagle pass campus has professors that discourage students. They have professors that show up late or always cancel class, they don't properly lecture and are only there to collect a paycheck. This campus seems more invested in wanting to get paid and not helping students or providing the quality education that the students need.cynthia flores

Service was great, but not happy that my cleaning is taking up 2 half days. Dont understand how we use to go & get a cleaning within a 4 hour period & now it's taking 8 hours to do. Makes it very hard when you live out of town & have to make 2 trips. Still like it because it's free, but ???Linda Meason

My son Graduated from Coastal Bend College today. It was held at the gym. It was crowded, but everyone was nice. It was air conditioned and i felt comfortable. The ladies Bathroom was clean. Everything was organized and ran smoothly. So proud of my son!Monett McHazlett Ermis

To the alumni that posted comments relative to smoking and ABET accreditation, I would like to share the following in my role as SET Dean: 1. We have become an almost no-tobacco usage campus. The many cigarette butts around our buildings prompted me to become one of the principal architects of the policy that has been in place for over a year. As with major shifts, culture change does take a little time! Having said that, I do not recall anybody complaining about the cigarette butts. 2. The Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Engineering programs have been accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET since 1983, 1986, and 2009 respectively. This information is publicly posted on our site and ABET's. Now that we have graduates from the Mechanical Engineering program, we will be submitting that for initial review in January 2018. As always, I welcome direct contact from our alumni, this is helpful in our quest for excellence!Winston Erevelles

I im currently enrolled in the Master of laws program in St. Marys Law School. I will rate one star because for me as an international student its a shame that i can not choose my own courses. They have to be approved by a guy named Robert Summers which his arbitriarism is out of the world. When i came to San Antonio looking to extend my knowledge in the american law i never imagine that i could not do so because i had to follow the preference of someone else. My goal was to specialice in Immigration which was not possible because this proffesor wanted me to take courses that i wouldn't like (TO FIT THE BAR EXAM EVEN IF YOU DONT WANT TO TAKE IT AT ALL) Im very dissapointed with St Mary's School of Law. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS BEWARE!! PLEASE HAVE EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE BEFORE ENROLL.noticias em movimiento

I attended St. Mary's for 3 years and left with a Bachelor's of a Arts & a teaching credential. I found it to be an excellent school, as have many friends. A number of my former public school students went on to a graduate from St. Mary's. I was impressed by its emphasis on being a Catholic institution. That was very important to me.H. Daniel Kelly

I actually attend the other campus, but have had to stop by here for books or to see the proff. So far it seems like a very organized campus. I've come at different times of the day and there's always parking (sometimes further away, but I carry an umbrella for the sun) Once there were mariachi playing outside. The employees are always very helpful & professional and most of the students appear to be engaged in their environment. The bathrooms have always been clean when I've gone. I've taken 3 courses so far and the classes have been very engaging. This is a career change for me so I'm older, but I don't feel out of place.Gracie G

🚩🚩FEB 2022🚩🚩 Mexican guy try to robbed Me. STORY TIME I was at the Activity Center/Game Room. I was painting some pots. I went to go get my plate.

I was excited about going back to school it’s been 8 years and then I get bounced back and forth from one department to another and finally they tell me you have to get in contact with the Counseling department so I did I called and sent out an email on November 4 and haven’t gotten a response 🤔 maybe they are understaffed, okay but I’ve called 5 times today November 11 and no one answered I don’t get it 🤦🏽‍♂️ I honestly I don’t. How sadHugo De Hoyos

I went to this school in 2007 for an Associate's of Applied Science in Business Office Administration. I completed the program and obtained my degree. Five years later I am still without a job that pertains to my degree. Any employer I go to does not even bother to ask about the degree or seem to care that I have one. It's like having two high school diplomas when you only needed one in the first place. I used Hallmark's career placement services twice and they stopped trying to help me within one month of attempting to utilize their services and were not successful in job placement, which is supposed to be their own job! I have been working customer service jobs with no opportunity for advancement that pay just above minimum wage ever since thanks to Hallmark. I have been using the Texas Workforce to find me the right job with the right pay and am currently receiving unemployment. I am also in the process of trying to get my student loans forgiven, as they have only put me in debt instead of led me down the path towards a happy career. Do not attend this school, it is like high school all over again! Go to one of the Alamo Colleges instead, your money is better invested there! If I would've known I was paying 18k for a useless piece of paper that got me nowhere, I would've told these scammers to shove it a long time ago! Seriously, Alamo Colleges is the way to go! For a better future, go to a REAL college!Amy Love

Hallmark College has give me the tools and necessary knowledge to go and get a job. I graduated back in 1999. As I continue gaining experience and qualifications throughout the years in my aviation career, I keep learning more and moving up the technician ladder. There is no limits in how much you can earn with an AAS in Aviation. I have worked overseas for the past 10 years making a comfortable living . I can pretty much select the company I want to work for or the Country that will be my next home. Seen my work success with just an Associate's degree I decided to finish my Bachelor's with Hallmark and I did! (06/15 ) I did not take any breaks after my graduation I just started my Masters with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Hallmark helped me to reach my goals. You must persevere and focus on what works for you. Do not let others discourage you because they were unsuccessful. You will get an opportunity within time, just make sure you posses the tools and necessary accreditation's (Degree) to do the job. Just be serious about your future and school, do your homework and study. Work on your resume and interview. This is my story and I hope to bring some light to all these hating comments. You be the judge….Jess Jara

Hallmark University College of Aeronautics is a great place to gain knowledge in becoming a Aviation Maintenance Technician. I am currently in my 2nd term here and I could not be more pleased with the professionalism of the university. All of the instructors are incredibly helpful and have years of experience in aviation. The overall curriculum is very fast paced in order for us to get our degree and A&P license quicker, so you must be very dedicated and focused on keeping up in class or you could be quickly left behind. The school has different companies in the aviation field come regularly to recruit students to come work for their company all over the country which gives us many great options once we graduate. Overall, I would recommend this school over any other to anyone who wants to build a career in Aviation Maintenance. I personally moved here to San Antonio from Salt Lake City, UT just to get my education at Hallmark because of the widely known prestige of the school. Gaining your Associates Degree and your A&P license from Hallmark will definitely set you up for a very successful future!William Skelton

The College of health care professions has been nothing but good experiences for me. From the moment you walk in everyone is so welcoming and sweet, to admissions team helping you understand every step of the way and helping you be prepared for what is coming, financial aid team for allowing you to not have to worry about paying for school till AFTER you have graduated from your program. And instructors who will always make sure that you are understanding everything that is being taught, as well as help you become a professional! I graduated in 2018 from Dental Assisting Program and Mrs. Garcia was and will always be an amazing instructor, without her I would not be where I am today. Today I am happy to say that I will be returning to CHCP to further my education and I could not be more excited! CHCP definitely gets you prepared for the career of your lifetime!Gabriela Lopez

I give this school 5 stars this school has literally changed my life! I went in just having questions about the programs available. The next thing you know, I started school that night with the pharmacy program.My program director along with the program teachers were always willing to pass on their knowledge and help in any way. So if you are curious about the programs and are ready to get started walk in and be ready to start! The staff is very welcoming! There are plenty of resources in case you are struggling with homework. The career services are there to answer any questions you may have pertaining to job placement and help you revise your resume. I appreciate everyone that I has helped me get to where I am at now!Elisa Ruiz

I've never had a more wonderful experience in a schooling system. The staff treat you like family and want you to succeed in every way possible. The hands on training was extremely informative, and when I had issues staff replied within 24 hours to help walk me through and/or fix whatever issue I was having. They also work with you to ensure you have options for employment, and before I knew it I was hired on before I was even finished with my MA externship. As long as you put in the work and dedicate yourself to learning the material, this school is honestly a wonderful choice.Max

The financial aid department is horrible. The chat for financial aid never answered my questions. They always told me to call the number. What's the point of having chat feature if they can't answer questions. Speaking on the phone with the financial aid department was a horrible. I've been given the run around regarding aid. People kept telling me that I qualify all I need to do is enroll in another class to be part time. Then, I was told that again I would get a Pell grant and loans. I didn't receive aid so I contacted them a few weeks later to find out that I don't qualify for aid. They had me enrolling in courses and everything knowing that I potentially didn't qualify. The financial aid department is either incompetent or just doesn't care about the students. When I was told I was approved were they just making that up to just get me off the phone?Amanda Chandler

This is my first semester at Lone Star and it has been nothing but problems. The student staff are very rude and unhelpful. The front desk financial aid has no idea how to do her job. The book store and the campus are not on the same page. I won’t recommend going here if this is your first semester of college. It is extremely hard to get help from staff. I had to go speak to a counselor there and instead of them taking me to the back to discuss my business they came out to the waiting area and blurted out what I needed to know. In my opinion this was very unprofessional. I didn’t want my personal business being discussed in front of everyone. Please find students that are familiar with their job and are helpful. These students have no real knowledge of what they need to do.Chanel Diamond

My daughter went there 2015, 2016 & 2017 after graduating from Humble High in 2014. She wasn’t able to get a scholarship for tennis so the plan was to take courses to raise her gpa and transfer her credits to a four-year college. I’ve had a bachelors degree since 1992 so I know the process. The advisor didn’t want me in the office and my daughter was okay with that. I found out after a few semester that she took math three times and flunked it. Her self esteem is shattered and she doesn’t feel confident that she can transfer. They couldn’t even give the paperwork so I could report her on my taxes. I lost thousands in tax rebates, they are the WORST!!!!Bruce Hickerson

I am a student in the MOA program and my experience at concorde I would say it has been amazing.The staff are always willing to help the students to help them succeed and answer any questions they have.If anyone ever has a bad day Stacie and Mari are always open to donating some of their time to the students and help them talk about any issues that they need help with in their personal life.The instructors are very aware of their students and make sure that each and everyone is passing their classes.If you need to find a job in order to survive while attending school Ms.Danielle is always open to helping those who need to find one.Since my second MOD I have been a member of the lamplighter program which is a student leadership program where students help one another including their peers in class and help mentor them as well as help them in anything they need.We lamplighters are always at the service of students and staff if there is ever anything they need help with. If anyone is interested you can come to the campus and make an appointment and explore the campus feel free to go on the website and take a look at the programs we at concorde have to offer!Pedro Beltran

The dental hygiene program here is absolutely wonderful. Our teachers and program director are amazing. But I am giving two stars because of the issues I’ve had with financial aid. It feels almost impossible to get an appointment with them and everything is so confusing. I understand everyone is short staffed but I have been trying to get ahold of my financial aid person for a month. Not only are they hard to get ahold of but they have said things such as “you need to get a job” if we ask to take a loan out for living expenses. Don’t they think we would get a job if we could? The program is full time there’s absolutely no time to get a job. I’m honestly just hurt that they treat us that way when we spend 73k on this program.Leah Broyles

I took a night class. The instructor always wanted to go home early. so instead of teaching us hands on, he just read over the instructions. When i and several others in my class took the tour, they said we would practice on dummys before we drew blood on each other. They lied. "The equipment doesnt work" is what we were always told. Towards the end of your last mod they crammed both badge tests and extern sites. We weren't notified if we got into our externs until the last day of class. Really nerve recking to the students who had to quit their jobs or try to notify their jobs of the schedule changes. The extern hours change constantly.Heather Gallagher

Majority of ACLS & BLS courses are generally the same due to criteria set by AHA so it really comes down to the instructor & supporting staff. CPR123 staff made that difference by having a great instructor (Sam) with decades of real life work experiences able to put book material into practical knowledge & context to be used in real time whether in the field, hospital, dental office or home emergency. Disassembled a hard topic into manageable pieces effectively. In person setting was great with immediate clarification and/or corrections made by staff versus other courses that give you many online scenarios & leave you to figure it out on your own through tedious trial & error sometimes leaving you more confused & lost then before you started. Look forward to renewing ACLS in the future with CPR123 instructor Sam & great to know they have other courses such as IV needle placement which was worthwhile to attend as well.Terry Kim

I had a wonderful experience with CPR 123 today for CPR certification renewal. They were able to fit me into a course same day which was exceedingly helpful for me, and Mariah was a wonderful instructor. She was clearly passionate about the material, extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and a great teacher. She efficiently but thoroughly went through all the material, helping us to all be prepared for the skills test, written test, but also for real-life scenarios in the future. Very highly recommend CPR 123 and specifically instruction from Mariah!Emily Terpstra

I attended a BLS/CPR session for my 2 year renewal and was very happy with the course! Mariah was a great instructor who really simplified the material and emphasized important information we really needed to know. She was very helpful in the skills training and I found her teaching to be really fun and she definitely wasn’t a “robot.” She’s a great instructor and I would recommend CPR123 to my classmates!krystan espinoza

My automobile was hit in the school parking lot and no one claimed accountability. Several days later my son (and 2 other people) witnessed one of the instructors hit another vehicle and just drive away. My son reported the incident to the school. Almost graduation time for him and now, because he reported this incident and he did complain that his current instructor gave assignments to do and then tested but they felt they were not being instructed. No class discussion regarding anything. You read, you test. My son made good grades and loved learning. Reward for being honest is that he is not allowed in class now. He has wasted his time with you. You got one star just because you are there.Phyllis Hilyard

This institute does not have a Laboratory program. What you learn here doesn’t count as medical laboratory credits towards a lab tech degree. When I look up training programs for Medical lab unfortunately this pops up. I’ve already spoke to Admin there regarding what I was seeking. They informed me they were doing the same Medical Lab degree and that Lamson isn’t the program for that. For months Lamson has called me claiming to have a Lab program. The recruiters have no idea what curriculum Lamson has apparently, only that they need as many bodies as they can in a room. Being perfectly willing to take my money and mess up my future for an extra body is foul on top of the phone calls.J Awrwah

Instructors are top notch but the admin team is absolutely, depressingly, inadequate and disrespectful. Theres nothing like paying Lamson to come here and be treated like a child. Like an employee. Youre not listened too and youre made to do your teachers job and jumps through hoops to verify your attendance. Typically this is something that the instructor is responsible for but Lamson thinks that's too hard. So you, the student, the customer, are required to do their work for them and when you dont they seek to belittle and degrade you. Not to mention they have no problem calling your apartment or your job seeking info without your knowledge or permission.Lance Taylor

Ms. Irene is the best teacher ever, very knowledgeable and she’s a nurse so she’s aware of everything she teaches you! The admin supports you the whole way even with finding a job and keeping you updated. I would definitely recommend this school to anybody. It’s quick to finish, thorough and you leave with confidence. They have prepared me to not only be a nurse assistant but has helped prepare me for nursing school as well. I really appreciate it.Ausia Lewis

the whole staff here is awesome! Mrs Irene is an amazing teacher who genuinely seems to care about the students education and bettering themselves. She made learning this course fairly easy & is more than happy to help with those who get confused. Ricardo was also very helpful in the admissions process. & Ms Juliana helped me out a lot as well. Very thankful for this experience and training provided by these amazing people. 🖤bekka b.

The staff are very awesome” are teacher Irene was so helpful & did very well doing her job teaching us what we needed too learn in the correct way of becoming future CNA. I want too say thank you too everyone in the staff that welcome me with open arms too a better future 😊 Also if you really want real hands on training this the school you need too come too.rosemary saucedo

My child was able to meet his goals and after 6 months of speech and occupational therapy, he graduated. My child's pronunciation and motor skills improved and he is now more confident. Both his therapist were amazing and very caring. One of my friends has her child with them but her child receives nursing services. She is very pleased with their patient care as well. It was her the one that recommended me to go with Little Engine Homecare. Thank you for everything.Laura Cantu

I work for the UHS systems in San Antonio TX. We have been referring our patients to Little Engine Homecare going on 2 years. Dr Sosa and the rest of the providers in our clinic are very pleased with Little Engines services. Their marketing team provide us with a tremendous amount of education every time they visit our practice. Little Engine Homecare will continue to be our number one referring agency for our patients therapy and nursing needs.Katherine Jacobs

I’m a nurse from Methodist Hospital, Little Engine Home Care really care about their patients. The pediatric doctors @ Methodist Hospital, appreciate and recommend this agency for the simple fact of providing excellent patient care. The nursing & therapy team at Little Engine Home Care have taken care of our most fragile patients @ home. The fact we know our patients are in good caring hands, brings piece of mind.Lorenzo Azevedo

Adante is absolutely the best place for senior living in San Antonio . My three sisters and I searched through many senior living facilities to find the best place for our parents when it was finally time to find a new downsized home for them to enjoy in their latter years. Dad is now 91 and mom is 84, the only regret we have is that we were not able to get them here sooner. You see, mom and dad had a beautiful home on 2/3 of an acre in San Antonio with beautiful landscaping and a huge garden but unfortunately, too much work. Leaving that home was very hard. After living in Adante, we wish we could've talked them into moving here sooner. That was the most difficult task for us, the children to overcome, but, with my parents being here now for two years, there's no mention of their old home any longer. Adante is now home and they absolutely love it. On day one of our first visit to Adante, what told me more than anything I could be sold on was how happy the residents were that lived here, this speaks volumes. It also speaks volumes about the leadership and attitude of the employees that work here. Thank you Tiffany Dove for that leadership and the so many others that make Adante the nicest place for our loved ones that call it home. The employees that work here genuinely care about giving you or your loved ones the best care possible, they truly love their jobs. Every time I go by to visit, I get smiles and waves from everyone. I write this complimentary letter in hopes that anyone contemplating on finding a great place to live and enjoy their later years in life to consider Adante. The food is fantastic and healthy. If you come for a visit I suggest you request a free meal to try out. The many ammenities are great but what I appreaciate most about Adante is when you look into the eyes of the residents that live here, you get happy smiles back.Mike Luckey

I sold my home and moved into Adante six (6) months ago, in the middle of COVID-19. Prior to moving into the community, Dawn was awesome and patient in addressing my concerns and answering all of my questions. Adante has a fabulous staff, led by Tiffany who goes over and beyond (always with smiles on their faces). I am so grateful for their creativeness during these circumstances to capture wonderful memories, keep us entertained, tailgates, family and friend talks, face time… keeping us in touch with our love ones. The residents are very friendly too. Living in Adante reminds me of living in a beautifully decorated mansion with a family friendly atmosphere. It is nice that we have the freedom to be sociable or private inside of our apartments, if preferred. Adante offers many activities (i.e., exercise classes, walks, creative crafts…) and games (i.e., mahjong, bridge, rummikub…) that are fun to participate; the best part, there is no extra charge! We even have a movie theater right here in our own community. Now, that’s convenience at no additional cost! I appreciate that I don’t have to cook and have fresh fruit and fresh salad choices every day. When I lived in my home, fruit and salads spoiled before I could eat it all. I also like that we have three (3) options for lunch or dinner everyday with great desserts too. I am so happy that I joined the Adante Family and love living here!Janet gilliam

My mother lived in Adante Independent Living for the past 6 1/2 years. She loved it there. She moved in when the place first opened. She was 90 years old. Her apartment was beautiful (she had a 2 bedroom) and had a fantastic view from the balcony (3rd floor). The staff was always ready and able to help. Even to hang a picture, fix a faucet, whatever. There were always activities going on but my mother chose not to participate in most….which was fine. She did very much enjoy going down to dinner and eating with friends she made at Adante. It is a lovely community. When my mother's health started to deteriorate, we chose to keep her in the independent apartment and bring in health aides. Adante was fine with this and has a good system for handling such arrangements. The staff in the front office, at the front desk, on the cleaning staff, on the housekeeping staff (Jason, Melvin, and crew), in the dining room, and in the salon…ALL are wonderful and loving. I felt like I had a family there to keep an eye on my mother. I highly recommend Adante.Debra Zussman

Awesome school! I was in the radiology program in 2014. The best instructors & overall great program. I would definitely recommend. 🙂devanee gonzalez

We've been looking for a place for our very social 84-year-old mother who has dementia. From the minute I walked into the Etta, I was impressed. The exterior looks like a boutique hotel with beautiful landscaping and a very welcoming front porch. Inside, they recently started a full renovation and the work they've done so far is bright, clean and modern. When we toured the "apartments," I was equally pleased. The room we selected for our mother is very large and has a big window that lets in beautiful light. They have a full slate of daily activities and encourage the residents to participate (really going out of their way to ensure everyone is engaged and active). This really appealed to us since our mom is so social and never meets a stranger! The staff is exemplary. Every person we've met is unfailingly kind and appears to really love the work they are doing. They all made the transition very easy for us – they really went out of their way to make it a smooth experience. We are relieved to have her in a place where everyone is so caring and where she can meet new friends and get the social interaction she needs. We are really happy with our experience and highly recommend the Etta.Lisa Edwards

The Etta at Shavano Park is simply amazing! My mother who lived with me in Los Angeles during the Pandemic was ready to go back to San Antonio, and I wanted to make it happen for her. What became clear to me while she lived with me was that she couldn't live by herself, she needed assistance. Thanks to my brother and sister-in-law they found The Etta! From the first Terryl was fantastic in giving us the run down, she was patience and understanding which was incredibly helpful. Once my mom was there the staff and occupants were quick to make my mom felt cared for and included. Meghan, the onsite nurse made sure all was in place, and periodically sends me photos of my mom during an activity, which warms my heart to see my mom so happy. Lexi at the front desk is warm and kind, the weekend staff, and all who are there to care and serve are fabulous! I highly recommend The Etta, what a gift it has been to my mom and my family. #blessedSandra Cevallos Campanella

The first thing I noticed about the Etta was that it didn’t smell bad when I walked in. The assisted living facility or the memory care building. Both were clean and fresh. All of the residents I saw were clean. No one was in distress. The faculty speak to the residents by name and with respect. I decided to move my dad in to the memory care facility and things are going great. They have quickly responded to every need we’ve had and then some. They have gone above and beyond to make our transition as easy as possible. Terryl Troyer has been an angel for me. First off, she listens. She’s extremely knowledgeable and on top of everything. I trust her and The Etta with my dad’s well-being. I would definitely recommend The Etta to anyone looking for care for a loved one.Heather Hughes

My mother, Frances Swinny, had the privilege of living at The Forum at Lincoln Heights for two years. She has always been an extremely independent woman, therefore she had hesitation about becoming a resident. She was 95 when she entered The Forum in the independent living section. It literally took her about a week to adjust. For the next two years she was healthy, happy, and involved. From the day she arrived, The Forum residents and staff welcomed her with open arms. Her independent apartment was beautifully renovated to meet her needs. It was sparkling clean and ready for her to personalize. While living at The Forum, my mother was involved daily with activities she found interesting and entertaining. My husband and I commented often that it was like living at a beautiful resort where the activities were in abundance. My mother enjoyed sing along, choirs, pianists, drumming, yoga, tai chi, happy hour, (always with entertainment), ladies wine parties, the choices were endless. In addition to all the activities, The Forum has a wonderful chef who prepares delicious meals with a generous selection of choices. The facility is always clean and odorless. Although mother was in independent living she was lovingly watched over not only by staff but by the other residents. There is a real sense of community. From my observation all the residents seem to thrive at The Forum. It is not depressing like many assisted living facilities, quite the opposite. I visited my mother almost daily for the two years she was in residence. I visited at all times during the day and night. I got to know or recognize all the staff, administration, security, and residents. It was hard to move out of The Forum, I will miss seeing people I came to know, enjoy, and respect. My entire family recommends the Forum. For the two years mother was a resident we were truly without concern. I would highly recommend the facility.Lisa Treat

When my parents reached the point where they could no longer stay in their own home, they chose The Forum at Lincoln Heights for their retirement years. They moved into a large, lovely apartment in the Independent Living building. That was in 2009. When Dad had to move to Skilled Nursing, it was great for Mother to be able to stay in their apartment, but within walking distance to visit Dad everyday without leaving the safety of the building. Later, when Mother could no longer stay by herself, she moved to another lovely apartment in the Assisted Living area. She was so well cared for and our minds were at ease for her. Now she is 100 years old and lives in the Bridge to Rediscovery area. Again, she has a lovely room and lots of loving care and attention. We are so pleased with her accommodations and the wonderful people who are like family to us. The Forum goes out of their way to make everything as secure and pleasant as can be. Having Mother stay in one center where she knows the staff and feels at home has been a great gift to her and to her family.Lynn Rutland

I've had relatives staying at the Forum for almost two years. Communication has been quite good, with information provided to residents regularly and questions and service requests mostly fielded in a timely and satisfactory manner. The apartment is well lit and cleaned regularly. Staff is pleasant and helpful for issues like managing incoming packages and assisting residents who fall. The food is good quality, varied, and prepared to be appealing. The response to keeping the residents healthy without being draconian during the virus concern has been mostly reasonable and well-planned. Visits with family can be arranged outside, which is great, but the designated location needs a mobile ramp to make it safe for residents with mobility issues. Other on-campus social activities such as haircuts and exercise groups are currently tightly controlled in accordance with state regulations, but the requirements and plans moving forward are communicated regularly and clearly. Overall, the Forum is doing a good job.Paula Opiela

I've had a great opportunity thus far to really expand my knowledge and the classes I have taken up to this point have exceeded my expectations. I'm one of those students that constantly stays in contact with both my professors as well as college staff. I've never had a problem getting in touch with anyone through email, text, office, or (even) cell phone. They've really done an amazing job and I'd highly recommend it . While I can't comment on the other courses they offer, they've certainly surpassed expectations in this particular field (in my opinion).Brenda S

Chris Gutierrez and team with Quest College is Amazing abouslty outstanding in helping me and service they all made me feel very welcomed..Chris Gutierrez was very understanding and new exactly what I needed.

I'm a mom of 3 kid's and was worried about going back and the where ,when, how's where all answered…I can't wait for my first day of School ❤️😇🙏 Don't hold back I never will again. One step at a time . Thanks Quest College team 💯Cecilia Gingrich

Ms.zapata you need to start doing better with the students extern hour sheets. I have sat next to my fiancé every single time she’s emailed them to you and you still have the nerve to send her emails saying that you don’t have them. It’s a problem amongst other students as well she’s not the only one. Either start looking in your emails for everyone that’s “Missing” the sheets or have someone that can do the job no problem.Alfred Delgado

My babygirl has been at this center since she was 3 months old and she is almost one now. I have to say this is the best daycare to trust your child with. As a first time mom no center gave me that feeling that my daughter would be taken care of and really given the love and respect she deserves. This center was recommended and I was running out of time and options. The directors took my baby in no problem. The prices are very reasonable and the director goes out of her way to make sure that all parents are taken care of and comfortable. Any issue I had was immediately addressed. I have to give a special thank you to Mrs.T she is an angel and wonderful with my baby (they all are) she runs the infant room and truly cares for those babies like they were her own. Choosing this center was a wonderful decision.Kiah Pair

This place is outstanding. My child loves coming here. She loves her teacher, Ms Claudia is amazing, Ms Carol is super sweet and knows how to receive kids in the morning, and all the teachers so far, have their own style and they love working there, and it shows. You can see some activities in the photos and videos they send you through the app, and they keep you post it with what food they eat, what they are talking in the classroom and if there's anything special. My child comes home with paper activities and it shows they keep her entertained during the whole day, as she is tired, but good tired. I honestly love this place, my child is safe and have fun while she learn. Plus I can see what she does during the day, and i can message them without needing to call. I recommend this day care 100%.Adalia Bravo

There’s no amount of words that I can say to explain how amazing this daycare is. From the director to the teachers! Even on the days my daughter isn’t feeling like going to school they’ll just love on heroutside and talk until she’s ready to go in, they are always doing fun activities, we have an app to see pictures and what they’re learning throughout the week as well. My daughter has never been one to talk, and since she started here she can count to 20, and her vocabulary is growing everyday! I’m so glad to have found such a wonderful place to put my child in and know she’s being taken care of. This is my go-to, I will always recommend and talk highly of Kids Galaxy! Thank you to the staff there!Erica Salas

I personally love what this company does. This is an awesome care facility. My concern is Reina Acosta. She is a horrible human being that treats her staff like they are beneath her. From my research she doesn't seem to have any kind of degree in this field. Communication is horrible, and she is disrespectful to staff that provide amazing service to this company. So called licensed therapist that has no clue on managing anyone and doesn't seem willing to learn or figure out solutions and has a control issue that is negative towards hard working staff. I would definitely look into replacing her.J. W.

This is such a wonderful organization and it has truly been a godsend for me and my family. The staff and director are incredibly warm, welcoming, and professional. My sons always leave the center with smiles on their faces and an extra pep in their step. Not to mention the fact that within the first 3 days they have learned how to count to five, new shapes, and even better self-regulation. I can't thank this center enough for the amazing work they do. SO grateful to have a place that keeps my children safe, stimulated, and developing.Tyler

My son attended Respite Care since he was 5 months until he was 3 years old. We had a wonderful experience with such caring personnel. All the staff is great with the little and provide the support they need including all different needs. This might be of the few daycares were they offered day trips and the kiddos get exposure to different settings. While attending, my son was enrolled with ECI and therapists used to go the center and Respite always worked with them.Lizzeth Saldana

Just GRADUATED!!!! 19yrs to the day after my high school graduation date, I have graduated again but this time with a Medical Assistant Certification. During my MA schooling, I got to experience the great lengths this staff will go to check on your well-being and you will be encouraged EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. Sometimes the staff lifts you and other times, the AMAZING person sitting next to you in class will inspire you with their daily tribulations. It's never too late and it's never out of reach! I had such an amazing experience that I am already returning at the end of THIS month for Health and Medical Administrative Services program. I'm hitting the gas and this school is helping me on my path 🙂 I appreciate every single one of y'all…..classmates included 😀 Edgar in Career Services is the kind of coach you want in your corner when it comes to facing interview preparation. Yvette and her amazing team in admissions motivated me even when I was hesitant about starting. My father passed away a week after the first day of class and these ladies ALL reached out to me. I did not expect that from a team of individuals, especially after only having met once or not even at all….they just knew I was a student and in need of a wellness check. I can't express the amount of gratitude. Thank you for such an amazing opportunity CHCP!Kristina Martinez

Just finished my certification for the MA program and as of today I am officially a Certified Medical Assistant. Miguel my advisor always made time to help me in every way possible. I would like to thank my instructors, Mrs Blacklock for always making learning fun and Ms Estrada for always being supportive and willing to help. Career services wanting to lend a helping hand so talk to Edgar he'll get you the help you need. Mrs Kim Hernandez for taking the time to ensure we had everything we needed to succeed. Miss Hurt even though I wasn't in your class you always made sure I had everything I needed to make my experience as a student a wonderful one. I can't thank y'all enough. I'm excited for the future and I honestly couldn't have done it without each and every single one of y'all. I would definitely recommend this site and with the different programs they have available I'm sure there is something for you.Jasmin Duran

Compare prices. They say that they are doing "competitive pricing" but I'm not sure, because almost all of these trades/certificates and associates degrees can be completed at half the price they have listed. I think their prices are high simply because they are a "private" college.(Like most private universities do) Alamo colleges offers most of these and they are about 3-7,000 total for either a full two year degrees or even a year for tuition. I also saw another reviewer who listed prices and I looked to be sure, but yes those are correct, maybe off an EXTRA 300 bucks. They have a decent selection of courses and Nice staff .Alex S
