Park Place Care Center

Park Place Care Center sits right off North on I-35 near Sun City and Williams Drive in Georgetown, TX, and you'll find that the facility is a licensed government hospital district nursing home, still run by the Guadalupe County Hospital Board since April 2017, and has 116 certified beds with about 90 residents on an average day. The place focuses on offering skilled nursing, long-term care, assisted living, hospice and respite support, and rehab services like occupational, physical, speech, and respiratory therapy. The care team handles things like wound care, in-house dialysis, vent care, high-acuity and non-ambulatory care, cardiac illness support, diabetes management, incontinence care, surgery recovery, and management for stroke and neurological conditions, plus there's help for folks with memory loss through a memory care unit set up for dementia and Alzheimer's. The facility offers daily meals, beautician and barber shop services, laundry and housekeeping, devotional activities, and community areas both inside and out, along with wheelchair accessible showers, diabetic care, podiatry, dentistry, and optometry visits if needed, so there's a wide range of help under one roof. There's a focus on infection prevention and policies to keep residents safe from abuse and exploitation, though inspections have turned up a good number of deficiencies, including some tied to protecting residents and infection control, and the total record stands at thirty-five deficiencies and some fines through the years. Staff spend about 2.83 nursing hours per resident each day and there's a nurse turnover rate of 38.2%, with a team that aims to keep care plans personal for each person. There are on-site therapy and rehab teams, programs for Veterans, transportation services, medication management, nutritional services, religious support, and plenty of daily activities for those who want them, and families can visit any time, even bringing pets and kids. Park Place Care Center belongs to the Creative Solutions in Healthcare network and is also affiliated with Chosen Healthcare. Families can use an online portal to keep up with their loved one's health and the facility's website is made so everyone, even folks with lower vision, can adjust the page easily. If someone has a problem or concern, the care center offers a customer care line for complaints or questions and lets people talk to a confidential long-term care ombudsman, so there's help if anything goes wrong. The facility is inspected and deficiencies are public record, but management keeps promising to improve and give detailed attention to keeping residents' privacy, dignity, and independence.
