Good to know
Questions, answered
Does Medicare cover rehab here?
Original Medicare Part A can cover up to 100 days of skilled nursing and rehab after a qualifying three-day inpatient hospital stay, with days 1–20 fully covered and a daily coinsurance after that. Medicare Advantage plans set their own rules; we verify yours before admission.
Do you accept Medicaid?
Yes, in our companion rooms. Texas Medicaid covers long-term nursing care for residents who qualify, and our social services director helps families apply.
What is sleep-centered night care?
We cluster overnight care so residents are woken as little as possible, dim the halls after 9 p.m. and route call lights silently to nurses' phones instead of overhead bells.
Can I tour in the evening?
Yes. We encourage it. Tours run until 7 p.m. every day, and later by appointment.
When can families visit?
Any time. After 9 p.m., ring the front bell and the night supervisor will greet you.
What should I bring for a rehab stay?
Comfortable clothes you can exercise in, sturdy shoes with backs, glasses, hearing aids and chargers. We'll take care of the laundry.
Come see it after dark.
