Bronte Health & Rehab Center sits at 900 South State in Bronte, Texas, and has served its community since 1971. This facility offers skilled nursing care for frail and dependent people, with both short-term rehabilitation for those needing help after a hospital stay and long-term care for those who can't live at home anymore. There are 55 certified beds, usually about 43 residents a day, and nurse staffing averages 3.57 hours per resident each day, which is a bit higher than the state average. Residents can get nursing care, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physical therapy without leaving the building. The Memory Lane unit provides a special setting for Alzheimer's and Dementia care, and there's a licensed social worker to help with transitions and case management.
There have been 17 deficiencies found in inspection reports over time. The most recent standard inspection on November 7, 2024, found three deficiencies, including two related to infection control. One report noted nurses and aides didn't always have the right skills to help residents as much as possible. Another deficiency cited a failure to fully implement infection prevention and control practices. Inspectors also found some areas weren't free from accident hazards or lacked proper supervision to prevent accidents. Still, the staff carries out care tasks, helps manage pain and wounds, and follows individualized plans for each resident.
Facilities include dual-certified rooms, an outdoor patio for gardening and sitting outside, in-house housekeeping and laundry, and menu choices with family-style dining. Residents have access to a weekly on-site beauty shop, over 40 TV channels, and free Wi-Fi. Transportation services help with doctor visits and outings, while visiting spaces let families gather inside and outside. A full range of activities keeps people busy, like Bingo, Chair Yoga, spa days, and group outings. Specialized dietary services offer different menu choices each day. There's also an on-site beauty salon, and residents can get podiatry, vision, and dental care at the facility.
Hospice care and respite care are available too. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, other insurance, or private pay. Local ownership, a Board of Directors, and the BHRC Auxiliary help run this center. Pat Young serves as a dedicated assistant, and Mary Ann Choate is the responsible contact. Bronte Health & Rehab Center holds Better Business Bureau accreditation since 2025. The staff works to offer individualized care, comfortable living spaces, and support for people from all walks of life, though there's always room for improvement.
