West Oaks Nursing Home

West Oaks Nursing Home sits in Houston, TX and has served the west Houston community since the mid-1990s, offering a wide range of care options for adults needing either short-term rehabilitation or long-term nursing care, and the building has a clean, welcoming atmosphere that feels home-like, with private and semi-private rooms, flat-screen cable TVs, in-room phones, and Wi-Fi, as well as large communal living areas, a dining room, private dining spaces, an on-site salon, and a covered outdoor courtyard where folks can relax. Residents receive round-the-clock skilled nursing care from registered nurses and a physician, with support for medication management, help with daily tasks like bathing and eating, as well as services such as wound care, stroke recovery, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cardiac therapy, diabetes management, pain management, pulmonary care, mental health support, and even special programs for sleep disorders, oncology, urology, and podiatry, plus there's a registered dietician on staff to make sure meals fit each person's needs and preferences, and for those facing serious illness, on-site hospice care is available too. The facility also offers secure memory care for people with dementia, post-acute and inpatient rehab for recovering after hospital stays, and a return-to-home program to help prepare residents to go back home, all organized using a person-centered, team approach where the staff and health professionals work with families to create a care plan that's right for each resident, and engaging activities like art, music, gardening, outings, and group entertainment are meant to keep community life active and fulfilling. The nursing home is part of Touchstone and the HCA Houston Healthcare Plus Care Network, and has access to extra services like imaging, surgery, urgent care, and dialysis transportation, as well as physical, occupational, and speech therapies that help residents regain or maintain independence. For those needing a break, respite care is available, and there's also education and counseling for families, disease prevention, and health screening programs open to the community. Pets are allowed, and transportation is provided for doctor visits, making daily living easier, while no indoor smoking is permitted anywhere in the building. Medicare and Medicaid are accepted, prices for private and shared rooms are published, and the facility has maintained a high level of safety and quality, holding an "A" grade on recent inspections, with only a few deficiencies reported and no substantiated resident complaints this year. Other unique features include complimentary transportation, pet-friendly policies, and a focus on creating a secure, comforting, and supportive environment for residents through programs like the clinical weight loss program and memory care support, and staff aim to treat everyone with compassion while helping them reach their highest possible level of independence.
