Care Inn of La Grange sits over on 457 N Main St in La Grange, Texas, and has served folks for many years now as a nursing and rehab center with 98 certified beds, handling both long-term care and short-term rehab for seniors who need a bit of extra help. The place is affiliated with Summit LTC and is under the control of Pamela Noell as of March 2025, with Oakbend Medical Center owning it all directly. There's housekeeping and laundry services so residents don't have to worry about chores, and on-site meal programs offer one or two prepared meals a day, so you won't always need to fix your own food. Their team provides help with dressing, bathing and other assisted living needs, and the staff includes nurses, therapists, a consulting pharmacist, psychiatry and counseling, plus access to registered dietitians and regular in-house physician visits. Skilled nursing, memory support, restorative nursing, physical, occupational and speech therapy, and respite care form a good part of the care available, along with wound care, IV therapy, hospice, and even short-term rehab.
They cover both general healthcare and transportation to doctor appointments or dialysis, and can offer a mix of activities like pet therapy, daily outings, family gatherings, church services, and other wellness programs, so folks can stay as busy or relaxed as they want. For those who need specialty rehabilitation, treatments include things like e-stimulation, ultrasound, TENS/PENS, diathermy, and evaluations for going home again after rehab. There's a warm and supportive feeling in the place, which many people in the local area say creates a comfortable environment where respect and compassion matter.
Still, the place has a history of deficiencies-fifteen on inspection reports-including issues with infection control, privacy with resident records, trauma-informed care, cultural competency, and nutritional standards, like not always getting food from approved sources. Nurse turnover is higher than average at 58.3%, and nurse staffing per resident falls below the state standard, too. But the place does hold accreditation for high standards and gets a four-star rating from the Center for MCR and MCD services, so some families still feel comfortable choosing it. There's a map for folks wanting to see where it's set, and private tours are offered to help people look over the place in person. The Care Inn focuses on holistic care, trying to look after both health and quality of life, with experienced professionals running things every day.
