The best way to know if a community is right for your loved one is to visit it. That’s where we can help. Call us directly at (817) 410-7300 and we’ll help schedule a tour so can enjoy the peace of mind that comes by seeing a center’s services firsthand.
We are prepared to help you sort through all available service payment solutions. Whether it’s through Medicaid, Medicare or another program, our staff is prepared to explore your options and help you take full advantage of your plan’s benefits.
Each case is individually evaluated and is often dependent on bed availability. Having a roommate often helps a new resident adjust to the facility; however, we’re understanding of each resident’s circumstances and work to accommodate as much as possible.
If there are no restrictions set by local authorities, you’re able to visit your loved one as regularly as you’d like.
Every patient’s road to recovery is uniquely based on his or her care plan and therapy progress. The average length of stay in a skilled nursing facility is between three and four weeks, dependent on the resident’s condition. We also offer long-term care if and when needed.
