Fort Worth Transitional Care Center sits over on 850 12th Avenue in Fort Worth, TX and is a nursing home that focuses on skilled nursing and therapy, and you'll see a bunch of friendly, helpful staff around, which makes the place feel fairly welcoming, and what folks notice is how the staff puts in a lot of effort to keep good communication with residents and their families, and you'll find meal services as part of their regular amenities. This place has both private and semi-private rooms, and some short-term transitional care units have private bathrooms, which can be pretty comfortable. They offer both non-ambulatory care and high acuity staffing, which means some residents who need a lot of help get it, and all sorts of specialized health care are available-clinical services, skilled nursing, and all kinds of therapy including physical, speech, and occupational. People trust the experienced nurses and therapists here to give steady health monitoring and custom care for recovery after surgery or even orthopedic treatment or joint replacements, and anything from stroke care to wound care to respiratory therapy is handled here, as well as vitalStim therapy for people who need extra swallowing help.
They try to make sure life here holds meaning, so they set up a program with all sorts of social, educational, and entertaining activities designed to keep everyone's spirits up and their minds working, and you'll spot amenities you'd expect at home, like WiFi, cable, scheduled recreational activities, and even a beauty salon. Care for memory loss stands out, too, with Alzheimer's, dementia, and memory support services for those who need it, plus home health services to help folks keep or regain independence, and hospice is available for people and families at the end of life. Wall oxygen is in some rooms, tube feeding is available, and they handle cardiac, pulmonary, respite, and post-surgical needs, so it's set up for many sorts of care.
They're part of Regency Integrated Health Services, and you'll notice staff from Wellsential Health around. The Transitional Care Center is also in the Texas Independence Health Plan provider network, so if you're in HMO I-SNP or IE-SNP plans, that's accepted, plus they take Medicare, Medicaid, managed care, and private pay, covering a good mix of payment options. They even offer transportation services when needed. Outpatient therapy and support to get home also play a big part in the care, since they work hard to help people do as much as they can for themselves. Meals are provided, as expected, and residents get chances to take part in the community, and you'll see a focus on each person's contribution here. The environment stays fairly warm and family-oriented, and there's a strong bridge from hospital care to recovering at home, especially with the short-stay and transitional care settings.
