Austin Wellness and Rehabilitation

Austin Wellness and Rehabilitation, located at 11406 Rustic Rock Dr in Austin, has 120 certified beds and offers care for people who need either short-term rehab or long-term skilled nursing support, so folks can recover from surgeries, injuries, or illnesses or live there if they have ongoing needs, and they've got a pretty big team of skilled nurses, therapists, and support staff working together to make sure every resident gets the care they require, and there's definitely an effort to make things feel welcoming and comfortable, with a secure, gated campus surrounded by nice landscaping. The staff speak English, and they put together individual care plans for each person, with treatments that include physical and occupational therapy along with care like IV therapy and tracheostomy management, and then there's 24-hour skilled nursing available, so someone's always around if help's needed day or night. They focus on safety, and during tough times like the COVID-19 pandemic, they've followed health rules, adapted activities for social distancing, provided online resources like guided meditation, and kept in close touch with health officials, plus they pay a lot of attention to infection prevention, though they have had four infection-related deficiencies and a total of fifty-three deficiencies listed in inspection reports, including some about not having a qualified infection preventionist or strong enough infection control plans. The place is run by Austin Wellness Operating LLC and owned by Coryell County Memorial Hospital Authority, with management taking over in January 2024 and an affiliation with Arrowhead Healthcare Partners. They train staff thoroughly in infection control, they're careful with supplies, and right now they're not accepting new patients, which is something to know upfront, but people can count on the facility's ongoing commitment to wellness, rehabilitation, and a home-like atmosphere, and they take both Medicare and Medicaid for payment options. The nurse staffing for residents is about 2.85 hours per resident each day, which shows how much hands-on care people get, and they update their service information each month to keep everything current, so families can feel informed about what's going on.
