Wharton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits at 1220 Sunny Lane in Wharton, Texas, and has served the community since the early 1900s, which is quite a long time when you stop and think about it, and over those years, this place has become a full-service skilled nursing and rehabilitation center with 120 units that include both private and semi-private rooms, and it's got some unique features with name-branded services that aren't always explained in detail, but you'll notice them around and about the place. The center handles skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, and specialized memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or other memory issues, and they've got a secure memory support unit for extra safety, plus staff that'll treat you like family and try their best to know what you need, especially with the help of wound care nurse Laurie and wound care physician Dr. Hoak, who're dedicated to wound care for the residents. The facility's Medicare rating is 1.8 out of 5 stars, so that's something worth considering, and it's both Medicare and Medicaid-certified, also taking payment from private pay and insurance plans, including options like Texas Independence Health Plan HMO I-SNP and Texas Independence Community Plan IE-SNP, so you've got some choices when it comes to paying for the services.
People come here for many reasons like inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, therapy for folks who've had surgery or need to recover from things like strokes, cardiac, pulmonary, or respiratory issues, and they've got physical, occupational, and speech therapies-including VitalStim Therapy and even joint replacement recovery-offered in a dedicated rehab gym to help with getting stronger or regaining lost skills. The nurses and staff help with medical supervision, wound care, IV therapy, dialysis, tube feeding, and hospice care, as well as nutritional counseling, and they've also got a palliative care program and respite care if a family caregiver needs a break or support for a while.
There are friendly touches on the property like an on-site cafe and a beauty salon, and they've always got something going for residents-including bingo, educational sessions, spiritual and religious gatherings, live entertainment, TV and movie nights-which gives everyone a chance to socialize and stay active, something that's important when time goes a little slower, and the amenities include WiFi, cable, and recreation rooms. Wharton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is open for admissions every day of the week and tries to keep close relationships with residents, families, and folks in the wider community, working alongside nonprofit partners as part of the Wellsential Health organization, and they aim to make sure the care's respectful and compassionate without making promises they can't keep.
