Uvalde Health Care and Rehabilitation sits in Uvalde, Texas, and works as a nursing home focused mostly on long-term care, though short-term stays happen too, and it's family-owned with Dignity Healthcare LLC running things since September 2024, which means some updates and changes came lately, but the staff like Admissions/Marketing Director Hanna Case and Administrator Sue Willis keep the place running smooth. Nurses, LPNs, CNAs, medical staff, and therapists spend lots of hours with the residents-more than state average, at 3.77 nurse hours per person a day-and folks will notice there are about 45 residents per day but with certified beds for 115, so it doesn't feel crowded. The nurse turnover rate is lower here than in most Texas homes, so people tend to see the same faces again and again, and that's something folks appreciate.
When you look around you'll find services for physical, speech, and occupational therapies, all licensed and certified, and the building keeps a 24/7 nursing presence for both health needs and daily help. There are services for wound care, medication management, respiratory therapy, mental health support, IV antibiotic therapy, tracheotomy care, hospice, palliative care, inpatient rehabilitation, and even nutritional counseling. There's a pest control program in effect, and while there are two infection-related deficiencies from recent inspections, plus a total of 37 inspection deficiencies according to CMS reports-like missing some steps for infection control (F0880), folks still find evidence everywhere of lots of individualized nursing care. The team pays attention to help residents with both the big and little things so they get the right care plan for their situation.
People say the environment is warm and feels pretty supportive, and the place has a good readmission record with less than one hospital stay per 1,000 long-term resident days, plus they're serious about vaccines with over 98% of folks vaccinated for pneumonia. Recreational and interactive activities work to keep people engaged-so there are cooking and art classes, games, and all sorts of other ways to stay active, with plenty of help so everyone joins in as much or as little as they want. There's no Resident or Family Council, and it isn't a Continuing Care Retirement Community, but it does accept both Medicare and Medicaid, and the ties to Frio Hospital District add a layer of support. The website can help people learn about senior care options if they're looking for more details or have questions. All in all, Uvalde Health Care and Rehabilitation blends skilled nursing, round-the-clock healthcare, and a focus on personal well-being, aiming to help residents keep or even improve their quality of life while having enough activities and therapy choices so there's always something to do, even with the daily realities that come with a nursing facility.
