Village Creek Rehabilitation & Nursing Center sits in a spot with space for 120 beds and usually cares for about 72 residents each day, where folks get help with skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or long-term care depending on what they need, and you'll find both short-term stays for rehab and longer stays for those who need more help day by day, so some residents are just here between hospital and home, while others depend on nursing care nearly all the time. The building's managed by Nexion Health At Lumberton, Inc. since 2017, though Sweeny Hospital District owns the place completely, and you'll see Nexion Health still oversees much of what goes on, making sure there are nurse practitioners, clinical specialists, and other long-term care staff available. Skilled care workers, including certified nursing assistants and hospitality aides, help with a wide range of services, and you might see some of these staff who've stuck around for quite a long time, which many residents say makes the place feel friendlier and more like home, even with round-the-clock nursing care and daily rehabilitation sessions going on.
The center has a nurse staffing average of 3.21 hours per resident per day and a turnover rate for nurses of 50.8%, which means sometimes you see new faces, but they keep training their team and checking skills, making sure everyone's up to date with what residents need, letting them handle things like trach care and IV therapy when needed, and having wound care tools like ABI testing and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy right there in-house. Telemedicine is something they use to help residents connect with outside providers easily, and private rooms are available for folks needing short-term therapy, making recovery a bit more comfortable. Village Creek offers therapy for those working to get back on their feet, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and respiratory services too for folks who need extra help with breathing, and you'll often find residents working with personalized treatment plans set up by the care team, with a focus on keeping them as independent as possible. It's pet-friendly, which some find makes it easier to settle in, and they try to keep the place feeling homey, with activities like bingo and parties or themed events, so there's something to look forward to even while you're here getting care.
Now, inspection reports show 28 deficiencies over time, and these include issues with infection prevention, some nutrition and food service problems, and an environmental item, and those are things inspectors keep an eye on with regular visits, so the place does get cited at times and it's something people should know when choosing a facility. Still, the staff focuses on providing safe and comfortable care, with a wide range of wound care, therapy, and specialized clinical support, and they accept residents any time day or night, trying to meet the needs of folks with many kinds of chronic or sudden illnesses. Residents often say they appreciate the kindness from the care team, and staff point out they enjoy working here, though no place is perfect, and Village Creek keeps aiming for a home away from home where folks can get the care and support they need.
