Lawrence Street Health Care Center is a nursing home in Northwest Houston and Tomball that keeps its doors open 24 hours a day, every day of the week, with skilled nursing care available around the clock, and they've got a lot of care options for people needing long-term help, short-term therapy, or even hospice support, and they do cover many insurance plans tied to long-term care. The center's got a Rapid Recovery Program, which comes with a special rehab neighborhood that has private rooms for those needing extra help getting back on their feet after surgery or an illness, and they're committed to helping people get strong enough, hopefully, for a safe return home by giving daily physical, occupational, and speech therapy in a gym right on site. Lawrence Street offers secure memory care areas for people living with dementia, and their services include wound care, IVs, injections, catheter care, medication management, health education, plus both psychological and respiratory therapy.
The place has semi-private rooms in a resident wing, a full team of nurses, physician assistants, doctors, and caregivers who try to treat folks with care and dignity, and even if some people have said the building can get crowded with those who are very sick or reaching the end of life, the staff are described as caring and attentive, which seems important given the challenges. Reports have been made about things like broken beds, TVs, call buttons, and slow responses to the call lights, but there are maintenance and cleaning staff to keep things tidy and in order.
Residents can join in several quality of life programs meant to help people feel their best, even when days are hard, and there's food service with full meals and laundry as part of the usual offerings, and for families, there's a Family Portal to help stay informed. Lawrence Street Health Care Center focuses on care that tries to make everyone feel respected, aiming to keep things innovative and honest, and the facility works hard to provide safe, comfortable surroundings, even if everything isn't perfect. If a person needs respite care when a caregiver takes a break, or if they need speech or occupational therapy to help with daily life like bathing and eating, or even hospice care during life's last part, Lawrence Street offers those services day or night. There's a focus on helping folks keep some independence, comfort, and dignity, whether they're staying long-term, just coming by for rehab, using the general inpatient hospice care, or receiving specialized dementia care in a safe space.
