Austin Oasis

Austin Oasis is a nursing home with 216 certified beds that usually houses about 180 residents a day, and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and private pay, offering a variety of care including skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, long-term care, respite, end-of-life care, and dual diagnosis treatment; the staff includes medical specialists like primary care doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, dentists, podiatrists, audiologists, and optometrists, and the place focuses on rehab and medical care for people coming out of hospitals with the goal of returning to independence and preventing re-hospitalization, all under one roof. The nurse turnover rate runs at 41.1%, which is lower than the state average, but nurse staffing levels at 2.28 hours per resident per day are below the state average of 3.4, and inspection reports have shown some serious deficiencies, including issues with infection control, food handling from approved sources, making sure food is served by professional standards, and failures to fully protect against abuse, neglect, and exploitation, so these are real concerns for families to consider. Austin Oasis has received Joint Commission Approval, and care plans are made for each resident to focus on dignity, respect, and supporting their needs, with specialized units for residents facing different recovery challenges, using a team led by a medical director and supported by the LEAP program for staff training and career growth. The facility aims to provide comfort, privacy, and home-like surroundings, offering private and semi-private rooms with a standard hospital bed, over-bed table, side chair, and standing wardrobe for storage, plus housekeeping, laundry, religious and cultural services, beauty/barber services, and WiFi for personal electronics, with transportation for appointments and amenities that try to make the place feel like a home-away-from-home. Austin Oasis allows visits from family any time with a 24/7 visiting policy, and has a fast admissions process with an available admissions team for tours, hospital visits, and questions, and they offer private appointments for prospective residents and families, so there's a steady focus on being open and available to help, though the documented deficiencies in infection control, food service, and resident protection make it clear there are areas that need improvement.
