Lone Star Ranch Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center sits in Kingsville, TX, and does a lot for seniors with many care needs, whether folks want independent living, need help with memory issues like Alzheimer's, need home health care, or are coming in for short-term rehab after a hospital stay, and they handle skilled nursing and long-term care too, so the place really covers just about every level of care seniors might look for as they age and their needs change, and it does this all under the management of Nexion Health at Kingsville Inc., with West Wharton County Hospital District as the direct owner since April 2022, which means there's a lot of hospital and medical connection close by for folks who need it. The facilities provide a range of room types, with kitchens or kitchenettes available, and cable TV in rooms, plus washers and dryers and important safety features like sprinkler systems throughout, and there's always staff around to help with walking or wheelchair use. Lone Star Ranch serves three meals a day with dining rooms, laundry and dry cleaning services, and housekeeping, and there are public areas too: a game and activities room, a fitness center, a salon and barbershop, a dining area for everyone to gather, and guest parking, along with wifi/internet if somebody wants to stay connected. They say pets can visit, and there's transportation and personal care services for extra help.
The center runs a full schedule of activities-social events, arts and crafts, programs for learning, and health and wellness classes, which makes it easier for residents to enjoy their days and stay active in both mind and body. The staff have experience in care, with around-the-clock nurses and a multidisciplinary team, and they try to make sure residents feel at home while being safe, so independence stays a priority when possible. There's a memory care wing with a locked, secured area for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, offering specialized and structured activities to help people stay mentally engaged, and medical oversight remains strong with skilled nursing, daily rehab, and telemedicine services for quick doctor consultations, plus wound care and individualized plans for every resident. The facility's 146 certified beds help support a good number of seniors, and Lone Star Ranch accepts long-term care insurance and hospice care for those who need it, and they're open for admissions day or night, all week long.
Staffing rates show 3.07 nurse hours per resident per day, and the nurse turnover rate sits at 40%. Inspections showed 23 deficiencies, including some in food management, pharmacy labeling, and a couple related to infection, but no issues directly resulted in harm. The building has cable, housekeeping, meals, and the comforts of home, and the property's community feel comes together through their programs and staff who work to help folks be as independent and healthy as possible. Lone Star Ranch is for-profit, and it works with the Nexion Foundation on things like scholarships and emergency relief, and also takes part in the local Kingsville area by offering both medical care and a place for seniors to live with the support they really need.
