Legend Healthcare and Rehabilitation - Paris sits on SE 8th Street, just south of Christus Dubuis Hospital of Paris, and has a focus on both short-term and long-term care, offering services like skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and respite care in a clean and well-kept building with beautifully landscaped grounds that do look pleasant when you go for a walk. The facility has 120 certified beds, and residents can choose from private or semi-private rooms, each set up for comfort, with a variety of spaces to relax, like common areas with fireplaces and television rooms-somewhat like what you'd see at Birchwood Nursing & Rehabilitation, since that's a kind of environment they aim for here, too.
Nurses and a full therapy team work here around the clock, with over 16 professionals giving physical, occupational, and speech therapy; the care aims to be personal, focusing on each resident's individual needs, whether recovering from surgery, living with a chronic condition, or needing help with memory loss. The staff, who get good marks for treating residents with respect and dignity, also help with daily needs and health monitoring; they're known for keeping the place tidy and supporting people's recovery and overall wellbeing. The food menu is nutritious and meant to be satisfying, laundry and housekeeping are handled by staff, and the activities program is quite varied, with daily options that help residents stay active and social-sometimes the calendar's full from morning to night with things for people at different activity levels.
Legend Healthcare and Rehabilitation aims to foster a warm, safe atmosphere and pays attention to legal protections, welcoming residents regardless of gender identity, orientation, or source of income, and follows fair housing and employment rules. Residents can have pets, and the facility tends to have accessible housing options and offers different types of rooms, though detailed building and interior features aren't always specified.
The staff includes dedicated healthcare professionals, though nursing hours per resident are a bit below the state average, but nurse turnover is lower than many other facilities in Texas. The place has had some state inspection reports showing problems, with a few deficiencies in infection control, safety supervision, and timely assessment updates, but the commitment to resident safety and quality of life remains strong, and the leadership works to address these issues when they come up.
Legend Healthcare and Rehabilitation is accredited by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and is part of The Ensign Group. The focus stays on comfort, activities, therapy, and skilled care inside a state-of-the-art building, and families say the environment is warm, welcoming, and attentive to residents' needs.
