Pauls Valley Care Center is a small, for-profit nursing facility with 71 beds, situated in the local community and designed to offer both short-term rehabilitation and long-term residential care. This facility operates independently, not as part of a continuing care retirement community, and accepts both Medicare and Medicaid for qualifying residents. With a focus on serving individuals requiring skilled nursing or rehabilitation after a hospital stay, the care center provides an array of services intended to support recovery and daily living, particularly for seniors and individuals with ongoing medical needs.
The center participates in Medicare and Medicaid programs, allowing residents a range of payment options after private funds or long-term care insurance have been utilized. Typically, for those transitioning from a hospital environment after events such as stroke, heart attack, infection, or injury, Pauls Valley Care Center provides an environment focused on recovery, with short-term rehabilitation offerings aimed at helping patients regain strength and independence. The average nurse staffing time at this facility is approximately 3 hours and 13 minutes per resident per day, ensuring that each individual receives a baseline of attentive care and medical supervision. For individuals needing longer-term support, the facility offers ongoing nursing oversight and personal care services to address daily living needs.
Pauls Valley Care Center has undergone regular state-conducted health, fire, and safety inspections, including thorough reviews of food preparation practices and overall safety. The most recent inspection cycle highlighted areas requiring improvement, such as ensuring comprehensive and updated care plans, proper pressure ulcer management, safe food procurement and preparation, and maintaining accident-free environments. These findings were addressed and resolved following their identification, demonstrating ongoing efforts to improve resident safety and well-being.
The facility has also experienced additional oversight due to being designated for a time as a Special Focus Facility, which brought increased inspections between August 2023 and July 2024. Despite these challenges, the care center remains committed to meeting the needs of its residents, offering personalized care plans and striving for safe, comfortable accommodations. Residents benefit from a supportive environment with access to skilled nursing services, daily assistance, and rehabilitative therapies intended to aid in recovery or support those requiring ongoing specialized care.
