Houston Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Houston Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits in the city with 120 certified beds and provides both short-term and long-term care, with Oakbend Medical Center owning it and Wellsential Of Houston Heights LLC starting management in January 2025, so it's got that larger healthcare tie-in and some layers of oversight. People find skilled nursing services, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and also a short-term transitional care unit with private rooms and bathrooms, which means if someone just had surgery or needs rehab and doesn't want a shared room, that's there, but there are semi-private rooms, too. Nurses spend about 3.14 hours per resident per day, and the nurse turnover rate sits at 42%, so things can change quickly with the staff. The place offers inpatient care for heart conditions, diabetes, IVs, breathing issues, tracheostomy help, therapy after strokes, tube feeding, nutrition through IV, wound care, and gives respite care for families who need a break. Therapy services cover physical, speech, and occupational needs, and people can get outpatient therapy if they come in from home. The rehab gym stands out, along with WiFi, cable TV, group activities, a beauty salon, an outdoor courtyard, and rides for appointments or errands. Memory care folks get special support and programs. The center also supports folks wanting to heal at home with home health services, and offers comfort-focused hospice and palliative care. Inspection reports have shown 20 deficiencies in areas like reporting possible abuse, quality of care, and resident rights, so that's something families should know. The facility falls under skilled nursing and gets regular complaint and deficiency reports filed on it. The place tries to help people regain independence, whether they stay a short while or make it a longer home.
