West Oaks Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

West Oaks Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits in Austin, TX, where staff work day and night to help each resident stay safe, comfortable, and as healthy as possible, offering skilled nursing care and plenty of rehabilitation services for folks recovering from illness, surgery, strokes, or orthopedic problems, all inside a single-story, modern building with 125 beds split between private and semi-private rooms. Staff pay special attention to personal needs, building care plans that look at each resident's own routine and habits, even using a standardized functional cognitive assessment mixed with a daily life inventory, especially helpful for memory care residents as part of the Integrated Cognitive Program made for people living with memory conditions like Alzheimer's Disease. Their team-nurses, therapists, doctors, and other caregivers-handle everything from wound care and in-house physical, occupational, and speech therapy to help residents bounce back or keep their independence, and since the team includes on-site decision makers, needs don't wait for long and important care choices get made right away. Meals are planned by chefs and meal planners to give everyone proper nutrition, there are cleaning and housekeeping services, and a full schedule of activities each day, like cooking club, garden club, a variety of outings, group exercise classes, and visits from Chuck the therapy dog, so folks can stay active, make friends, and have fun, whether that means spending time outdoors in the well-maintained gardens or joining in for health and wellness programs. West Oaks stands out for blending nursing, rehab, and memory care with a friendly community where long-term and short-term residents get help with daily living, discharge planning for safe returns home, and even outpatient therapy as needed. They take Medicaid, Medicare, and all major insurances, and have picked up several quality awards, including the Best of Senior Living Award, along with good reviews from residents and families. The staff are known for their helpfulness and kindness, working hard to keep a joyful, caring feeling throughout both the building and the activities, while skilled caregivers help ensure every resident gets the support, medical care, and human connection they need to regain strength, keep moving, and enjoy better days.
