Duncanville Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center

Duncanville Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center, located at 419 S Cockrell Hill Rd in Duncanville, TX, is a well-maintained skilled nursing facility that's managed by groups like Nexion Health and led by people such as Frederick Cerise, Francis Kirley, Brian Lee, and Meera Riner, and is owned by Dallas County Hospital District, with a focus on both short-term rehabilitation stays and long-term residential care for adults who need more help than can be managed at home, and while the building stays clean and the staff is described as helpful and caring, there have been some issues in the past, like deficiencies in pharmacy services and care planning, with reports noting lapses in meeting pharmacy standards and delays in making detailed care plans within a week of assessments, which gave the potential for residents to face more than minimal harm, but through all this, infection control has stayed up to standard even though four infection-related deficiencies have been noted, and the facility keeps a higher-than-average nursing presence, with 3.69 nurse hours per resident each day and a higher turnover rate among nurses compared to the Texas average, which means a lot of faces are new, but residents are still looked after, and with 124 certified beds and about 83 residents living there on any day, Duncanville offers a range of care including skilled nursing, wound care, rehabilitation therapies, and respite care for those who need a temporary place to recover, and it has staff who can speak English and some other languages, plus pets are welcome, which isn't always the case at these centers, and for those who like a bit of company and activity, residents get access to daily rehab, around-the-clock nursing, wound care, individualized care plans, amenities, activities, and a team approach to care that tries to focus on both physical and emotional needs, and even though there's some flexibility in care, Duncanville isn't currently accepting new residents, and the community tries to keep the atmosphere more like a home than an institution, with a "home away from home" approach, and for people who need telemedicine services, skilled nursing, or special attention to wound healing, those offerings are all part of the care here, though the exact amenities and services aren't detailed anywhere, but past residents usually get what they need to have a safe and comfortable stay.
