Levelland Nursing and Rehabilitation

Levelland Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits over at 210 West Ave in Levelland, Texas, where they care for seniors and others who need skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or longer-term help, and the place runs 87 certified beds but usually has about 64 residents, so it's got space for those needing short stays and those staying longer. The building has fire sprinklers everywhere, and they don't sit inside a hospital, and they run as their own for-profit corporation, being part of a group with other nursing homes, which means policies might get set at a management level, but staff like nurses, aides, therapists, food workers, and office folks work together under several programs, and the place does take both Medicare and Medicaid. They check on everyone's health and look out for things like infections and pressure sores, and lately, reports say about 5% of long-term residents got a urinary tract infection, and about 19% of high-risk folks had pressure sores, so that's worth knowing if you're deciding about care. Vaccines look pretty well managed here, with everyone getting asked about their pneumonia shot and almost all long-stay folks taking their flu shot every year. They run various therapies-physical, speech, occupational, respiratory-and they have a memory care unit that's secured for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, so loved ones are safer if they might wander. The staff's on the job with about 1.86 certified nursing assistant hours, 0.99 licensed practical nurse hours, and 0.22 registered nurse hours per resident, on average, and a team works to see what each person needs, then sets up care plans with the resident and family, talking over any concerns in meetings that family and residents can join. Meals are part of the deal and aim to be tasty and nourishing, and the place offers group activities, games, and events for something to look forward to, keeping the days a bit brighter and offering laughter and engagement to folks. The place doesn't call itself a continuing care retirement community and isn't marked as a Special Focus Facility, and it runs a convalescent home and personal care unit, so people who've been in the hospital or need a hand with things like bathing and dressing can get help. Nurses make sure medicines get taken the right way, and staff work to keep the place clean and comfortable, though sometimes communication hasn't been perfect, but they keep at it for residents' comfort. The focus is steady care, simple support, and a safe spot for seniors-nothing flashy, just a straightforward effort to give folks what they need.
