Gainesville Convalescent Center sits under the management of Collinsville Nursing Operations, LLC and is owned by County Of Throckmorton. This facility has ties to Avir Health Group and holds 112 licensed beds, though on most days you'll find about 48 residents staying there. The center provides both long-term residential care and a secure memory care unit for people with Alzheimer's disease. They also offer inpatient rehab, stroke recovery, post-acute care, respite care, and hospice services. Skilled nursing covers quite a bit here, including rehabilitation, wound care, respiratory care, intravenous (IV) antibiotics, and medication management. Therapies available cover speech, occupational, and physical, both for inpatient and outpatient needs. There's nutritional counseling too, which some folks find useful when working through health changes.
Staff includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nurse aides, and therapy aides, but there's been a high nurse turnover rate at 88.1%, and the average is about 3.27 nurse hours per resident each day. It's worth noting the center's received 44 deficiencies in inspection reports, including three about infection prevention and some relating to staff shortages, safe respiratory care, and problems with food safety. There's been a citation for not always having a registered nurse on duty for eight hours each day, and another for not selecting a registered nurse as a full-time director of nurses. Infection control and safety, especially around meals, have also been noted in reports.
Amenities are straightforward: you get basic furnishings, outdoor seating areas, and a solarium. Home-making and recreational therapy help keep things comfortable, and there's transportation provided for medical needs. Family involvement is encouraged through a family council, since the facility doesn't have a resident council in place. Gainesville Convalescent Center doesn't accept CCRC residency arrangements. While it's a place with plenty of services for different types of care, it's important to look at both the services and the areas of concern in their reports if you're considering this facility.
