Lakeside Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits on Lakeside Boulevard just south of the I-410 and TX-151 interchange, where people can get different types of care depending on what they need-which could be skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, or memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia. The place has 118 certified beds with options for private or semi-private rooms, and the grounds look pleasant and well-kept. Both short-term and long-term residents can get in-house therapy using modern equipment, and there's a focus on helping people regain strength and mobility after surgery or stroke. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most major insurances, making access a bit easier.
Residents have access to nurse staff at 3.48 hours per resident per day, slightly higher than the state average, though the nurse turnover rate stands at about 50%. The facility's managers include David Mak, Soon Burnam, and Carlos Alonzo, along with Crystal Lake Healthcare, Inc., under ownership by the West Wharton County Hospital District since October 2022. Lakeside also belongs to Regency Integrated Health Services. The center aims to offer comfort, safety, and a family-oriented environment while providing specialized programs like memory support and stay active programs, as well as activities and excursions. Amenities cover things like housekeeping, laundry, nutritious meals, and nicely arranged living spaces.
They handle chronic condition management with personalized care plans, but inspection reports have found some deficiencies, such as not always creating or following a resident's care plan promptly after admission, and there have been a couple of infection-related deficiencies on record. There have been some concerns about resident rights, specifically about room sharing with spouses or choice of roommates, and providing written notice about changes. Still, people report that the center's staff tries to provide compassionate support, and there are resources like free and confidential help from a long-term care ombudsman for anyone with concerns. The center maintains accreditation and has received positive reviews from many residents and family members.
