Sunrise Nursing & Rehab Center sits at 50 Briggs Street in San Antonio, TX, and it's a large place that stays open 24 hours a day to help older adults with all sorts of needs, and if you're living there, you're likely sharing the building with about 85 other folks, since they've got space for up to 119 residents, and some of those rooms come with their own housekeeping, laundry, and even kitchenettes, so you won't have to worry about too much on your own. The center gets managed by Summit LTC Management LLC, and Summit LTC San Antonio LLC owns the place outright, and they've been running things there since October 2017, offering both long-term care and short-term skilled nursing help, so whether someone's staying for recovery or planning for the long haul, they've got different options.
Around the center, nurses and medical staff are around day and night-skilled care is available 24/7, though it's worth knowing the nurse turnover rate sits at a pretty high 69.4%, and their nurses average about 2.7 hours per resident daily, so staffing is something to keep an eye on when deciding. You'll find care for all the basics like help walking, using a wheelchair, bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and getting to doctor appointments or dialysis because they offer transportation services to help folks get around, and medical services include everything from in-house physician visits and registered dietitians to consultants in psychiatry and counseling, plus podiatry and medication support too. If you've got wounds or need IV therapy, hospice, or restorative nursing, they've got those services along with programs for folks working to get back home after a stay, and they're always offering rehabilitation options, not just with physical, speech, and occupational therapy, but with treatments that include e-stimulation, ultrasound, diathermy, TENS/PENS, and rehab-to-home evaluations.
Someone who enjoys keeping busy will find daily activities, health and wellness programs, church services, art, education classes, family gatherings, and outings, as well as pet therapy if you like animals, so there's a little something for everyone; and the property has an activities/game room, cable TV, guest parking, Wi-Fi, a dining room, fitness center, and even a salon/barbershop for haircuts, with safety features like sprinklers and handicap-friendly areas throughout. Meals are part of the services, with registered dietitians planning nutrition, but it's important to note the facility has faced fines of $10,036 for infection control issues and nutrition deficiencies, and they've had a total of 22 inspection deficiencies recently-including a citation for not always providing care according to what residents prefer-so if quality control is a major concern, that's something to take into account before deciding. Sunset Nursing & Rehab Center aims to help people keep their independence and feel comfortable, whether through tailored programs for chronic conditions, recovery, or just day-to-day help, and the staff gets support from a team that includes consultants in pharmacy and psychiatry when needed. While the center gives many options for care and activities, and the building has several amenities, families should ask about recent inspection results and staffing when considering it for a loved one.
