Bluebonnet Nursing And Rehabilitation

Bluebonnet Nursing and Rehabilitation sits at 696 Fm 99 in Karnes City, TX, and has served the community for many years, offering skilled nursing services, rehabilitation therapies, and memory care for elderly people who need daily help and medical oversight, and people say the place works hard to stay clean and gives attention to comfort, even describing it as beautiful, and you'll find staff providing skilled care along with options like occupational therapy, physical therapy, wound care, vent care, in-house dialysis, assisted living, and services for veterans. Bluebonnet is run by Creative Solutions In Healthcare, with Gary Blake and Malisa Blake in managerial roles since early 2021, though the legal owner is Honor X Enterprises, LLC, and the parent company Creative Solutions brings in support through their larger network, so there's a steady team there focused on personalized care plans and a home-like environment for people who are very frail, need short-term rehab after hospital stays, or have memory care needs. The facility has 120 certified beds, but they usually have about 38 residents on an average day and are not taking new patients right now, and with a nurse hours per resident per day at 3.32, it falls just under the state average and, at the same time, the nurse turnover is higher than what's seen elsewhere in Texas. Bluebonnet updates information at least monthly and does have some unique touches, like a customer care line families can call any time, including anonymously, if they want to talk about concerns or share suggestions, and there are staff who mainly speak English, but some also speak other languages, which can help. Inspection reports show recent deficiencies, including issues with quality of life and care for residents with continence or catheters, infection prevention and control, and privacy with personal or medical records, and there have been four infection-related citations. Despite these challenges, the facility stays committed to improving and keeps helping residents to reach their personal health goals, focusing most on creating a stable, nurturing experience for seniors who require ongoing skilled nursing or rehab between the hospital and home.
