Giddings Residence And Rehabilitation Center is a skilled nursing facility with 84 units, offering both private and semi-private rooms, and 57 certified beds as of June 2025. The staff provides 24-hour licensed nursing services and skilled nursing care for people who need constant medical support, such as help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management. Residents get support for respiratory needs, specialized medical equipment like oxygen concentrators, and care for diabetes, memory issues, wounds, pain, and serious medical conditions like stroke, heart disease, CHF, and pneumonia, along with in-house dialysis, joint replacement therapy, cardiac care, and fall prevention programs. Giddings has therapy programs like physical, occupational, and speech therapy (PT/OT/ST), with special options like Wii-Hab and electrical stimulation, as well as psychological and social support, dietary and nutrition help, and hospice and palliative care for those who need it.
The community doesn't allow pets, aiming to keep the environment safe and comfortable for everyone, but does offer animal therapy as part of their therapy programs. Residents and families can join councils to talk about concerns and help improve care. There's a nurses' council onsite too. The place keeps a structured pricing plan, with monthly rates starting at $2,495 and going up to $7,400, depending on the level of care a resident needs. They offer care for both short-term rehabilitation with respite care and longer-term residential care, following a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) approach, so people needing different levels of care can stay within the same community.
The building includes features for residents' comfort and engagement, like cable TV, internet and phone services, housekeeping and laundry, an emergency alert system, and 24-hour supervision with a call system. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are handled by staff, who also provide dining services with restaurant-style meals, all-day dining, and meal plans for diabetic or allergy-sensitive diets, served in a cafe-style dining room. There are community spaces, a garden, outdoor courtyards, gazebos, patios, walking paths, and places like a dedicated arts and crafts room, a barber/salon, and family lounges. Residents join community-sponsored and resident-run activities, with a daily activity schedule, recreation therapy, uplifting entertainment, and transportation services available. Giddings has a structured environment focused on safety, respect, and dignity, supporting independence as much as possible within each person's ability, and they accept both Medicare and Medicaid insurance, making it easier for people with different needs and financial backgrounds to get care when they need it.
