Southbrooke Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits in a lively and welcoming neighborhood, offering care for up to 120 residents in both private and semi-private rooms, and you'll find TVs, air conditioning, cable, and Wi-Fi in every room, so folks who move in can stay comfortable or get in touch with family. The facility gives round-the-clock supervision with a 24-hour call system, though the nursing care itself ranges from 12 to 16 hours a day, and staff can help with bathing, dressing, getting in and out of bed, medication, and transfers for people who need non-ambulatory care. Southbrooke Manor takes in residents using Medicare and Medicaid, and the non-profit facility is owned and managed by Citizens Medical Center County Of Victoria, with ties to Wellsential Health.
You'll see a large therapy area, a gym with a kitchen for practicing daily activities, and clinical help for things like wound care, post-surgery recovery, respiratory therapy, I.V. therapy, tracheotomy care, tube feeding, diabetic education, orthopedic rehab, and stroke care. They also offer complete physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapies, plus outpatient therapy and home health services for folks trying to stay independent at home. There's a secure memory support unit for those with Alzheimer's, dementia, or memory care needs, and the Wander Guard Security System watches out for safety.
Meals come from a professional chef, who can adjust to special diets, with dining offered all day and in restaurant style, and the dining room is big enough for group meals. You'll find a beauty salon, whirlpool, spa room, fitness area, walking paths, courtyard, art and game rooms, a library, and outdoor programs. Southbrooke Manor puts on movie nights, music events, and regular activities run by the residents, plus housekeeping, transportation, laundry, emergency alert systems, community events, and support services for residents and families.
Inspections show some problems at Southbrooke Manor, with 21 total deficiencies in reports, including two related to infection control, concerns over communication and privacy, and a staff turnover rate of 47.4% over 12 months, which means a lot of nurses have left in the past year. There have been recent deficiencies for things like making sure care matches doctor's orders and resident wishes. Residents get, on average, 2.93 nurse hours each day, and there's always someone keeping watch. The facility does offer hospice care and respite care for families who need extra support, and there's a safe place for those with memory needs. While it does handle many types of nursing and rehabilitation, the recent inspection history and high turnover show that families should take time to review whether the setting and care approach suit their loved one's needs.
