The best time to decide is before a crisis decides for you
Most families start this search after a fall, a hospital stay, or a caregiver reaching a breaking point — and end up choosing from whatever has a bed open that week. Families who plan even a few weeks ahead get to choose on quality, fit, and price instead of availability alone.
- Move-ins take time: assessments, paperwork, and preparation typically run 2–6 weeks in Abilene.
- The best communities fill first: top-rated communities often run a waitlist — touring early holds your place in line.
- Touring costs nothing and commits you to nothing — but it turns a future emergency into a calm, informed choice.

How are the 16 communities on this page rated?
Every skilled nursing community is scored with our Haven Scout Score, a composite built from official CMS Care Compare data — overall star rating, health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures — plus safety signals like fines and citation history. We rank by objective data, not by who pays us.
Is Haven really free for families?
Yes. Haven is always free for families. When we help a family find and move into the right community, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay anything, and we show every licensed community in the area — not just paying partners.

Assisted living helps with daily activities while preserving independence. Memory care is a secured setting with specially trained staff for dementia. Skilled nursing provides 24/7 licensed medical care and rehab. Not sure which fits? Take our free 2-minute care assessment.
