While Aged Care Employee Day is traditionally celebrated in Australia on August 7th, at OakBend Medical Center we want to take this opportunity to honor the remarkable efforts of our Fort Bend staff in the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF). This day serves as a reminder of the invaluable contributions our aged care professionals make every day, and we are proud to highlight the dedication and expertise of our team serving Fort Bend County.
Celebrating Our Skilled Nursing Facility Team
Aged Care Employee Day offers us a chance to acknowledge the critical role played by those who care for our senior community members. Our skilled nursing facility in Fort Bend stands as an essential part of OakBend’s mission to provide compassionate care and essential services that support individuals in their time of need. The hard work, dedication, and professionalism of our staff are a central part of the care we provide, and today, we celebrate their commitment.
The Heart of Senior Care at OakBend
OakBend Medical Center proudly operates the only hospital-based skilled nursing facility in Fort Bend County. Located at our Jackson Street campus, we specialize in providing both short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing care for individuals who require continuous medical attention after a hospital stay.
Our facility is designed to cater to a range of needs, from post-operative recovery and complex medical care to support for chronically ill patients who can no longer live independently. Each patient benefits from around-the-clock care managed by skilled physicians who are deeply involved in their overall treatment and recovery.
Why Skilled Nursing Care is Essential
Skilled nursing care is a vital service for older adults requiring intensive support following a health crisis or medical issue. The advantages of skilled nursing facilities include 24-hour nursing care, a secure environment, and the freedom for patients to focus on their recovery without the distractions of daily life tasks such as cooking and cleaning.
At OakBend, our goal is to facilitate a smooth transition back to daily life. We provide comprehensive Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy services, with our therapists working daily to enhance mobility and independence. By assessing and addressing difficulties in movement, our skilled nursing care providers in Fort Bend create individualized care plans that work towards restoring patients’ ability to perform essential life activities, such as getting out of bed, walking, bathing, and dressing.
What Sets OakBend’s Skilled Nursing Facility Apart
Our facility is not only equipped with a fully stocked therapy gym but also features a communal dining area and a peaceful outdoor gazebo, contributing to a comfortable and supportive recovery environment. Our services include:
