Wurzbach Nursing and Rehabilitation sits in San Antonio, TX, offering skilled nursing and rehabilitation with 140 certified beds and an average of about 84 residents a day, and the staff there work around the clock, day and night, to help people who need long-term care, health oversight, and recovery services of all kinds, focusing on health and safety, although inspections have turned up deficiencies over the years, like issues with infection control, accident hazards, supervision, and even some problems making sure residents are safe from harm or wrongful use of belongings, which remains an area that needs attention. The community is part of Caraday Healthcare and works with big names like Baylor Scott White Health and St. David's HealthCare, and a nationally recognized geriatrician leads medical care as Chief Medical Officer, aiming to keep care standards high, though the nurse turnover rate has been at 63.3%, and the staffing averages about 3.05 nurse hours per resident per day, which is something families might think about. Residents get skilled nursing, memory care, and lots of rehabilitation services-there's help for people after joint replacement, stroke, spine and back trouble, wounds, breathing problems, and serious illnesses like diabetes, CHF, or COPD, along with constant tracheostomy care for those who need it. The facility also includes a secure memory care unit where a team trained in dementia and Alzheimer's care supports residents, and the daily schedule is gently structured to help people feel safe and cared for, with on-site therapy-physical, occupational, speech, and wellness-all part of the regular offerings, giving personalized support for each person's needs.
Meals are provided each day, meeting dietary needs including specialized nutrition when required, and residents who need help with daily living-like getting dressed or keeping clean-find staff there to assist. The building has several common spaces, a beauty shop, and rooms where residents can take part in devotional activities or join offsite outings, plus there's always a full list of social, educational, and entertainment events happening, designed so anyone can join if they feel up to it, whether it's for enjoyment, emotional support, or to help with mental and physical activity. People living at Wurzbach Nursing and Rehabilitation can expect diabetic care, incontinence help, medication management, wound care, palliative and hospice support if needed, and a focus, wherever possible, on fostering a sense of independence along with socialization and friendships. For residents or families who run into concerns, there's access to a long-term care ombudsman who offers confidential help. While the community tries to balance safety with activity and has many engaging programs, the history of care and safety violations in inspections is something to keep in mind, as the facility continues working towards improvement in those areas.
