University Park Nursing & Rehabilitation in Wichita Falls, Texas, helps older adults with a range of services, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing. People can choose from studio, single, or two-bedroom rooms, and the community has spaces like a game room, fitness center, and dining area where meals are prepared by culinary experts who aim to meet nutritional needs, so you know meals are covered, and there's housekeeping, laundry, and cable TV for comfort. They keep things social and engaging with arts and crafts, education programs, health and wellness activities, and always try to make the place feel home-like and welcoming, though the staff works hard to keep up as the nurse hours per resident are a bit below the Texas average, and the nurse turnover rate is higher than most places.
The place can help people with daily tasks like dressing, bathing, walking, and medication-there're personal care assistants, help with grooming, toileting, and wheelchair support. For health, they offer podiatry, optometry, wound care, occupational and speech therapy, respiratory care, diabetes management, surgery recovery, and even vent care and in-house dialysis when it's needed, with 24/7 supervision and hospice care for those at the end of life or needing respite. Memory care residents get safety features and personalized care plans, and doctors can see residents for dental work, psychology assessments, and laboratory work. Access to Veterans Affairs care, Medicare, and Medicaid means many older adults can get the help they need, and they provide long-term and short-term care options, always aiming to support independence.
There're accessible features all around, with things like sprinklers, handicap access, and transportation services that help people get where they need to go, and when you need a trim, there's a salon and barbershop on site. Housekeeping keeps the living spaces tidy, which can include kitchens or kitchenettes for those who want to do a little cooking. The facility uses a customer care line and a contact form online if families want to check in or ask questions, and there's an online portal so loved ones can stay updated on a resident's health and activities. Staff can be reached for help or questions every day during wide hours, and tours and assessments can be set up for families thinking about moving in, but there might be a waiting list. Pricing isn't posted on the website, so families have to call for details.
Daybreak Venture operates this community along with many others in Texas, and University Park reports 98 certified beds, with the West Wharton County Hospital District fully owning the place, and Wichita Falls I Enterprises, LLC running it since July 2023. Inspections have reported 28 total deficiencies, including four tied to infection control and citations for food sourcing, resident assessments, and respiratory care. The staff aims to offer a caring environment while working on these areas. University Park Nursing & Rehabilitation tries to offer a broad range of therapies and services-physical, occupational, and speech therapy, restorative programs, nutrition support, and activities-so folks living there can get medical and personal support in a community that does its best to keep people safe and engaged, though like any large operation, it continues to work through its challenges.
