Why Skilled Nursing?
The goal of our Skilled Nursing Facility in Fort Bend County is to help patients feel at home. Skilled nursing care is unique in this way – our goal is to restore each patient as quickly as possible to their highest level of functioning and independence. Patients can get out of their rooms and take meals in a communal dining room or enjoy time outside enjoying the weather on our patio, where pets are allowed to visit their owners who are under our care. Whether patients come to us for short term care or long term care, they can be assured that they will receive top-quality care with knowledgeable, trustworthy, and efficient staff.
As the only hospital-based Skilled Nursing Facility in Fort Bend County, the Skilled Nursing Facility at OakBend Medical Center is able to provide patients with specialized care services in an environment where their doctors are only a step away. Procedures and tests do not require a separate trip to an imaging center or a clinic, as everything patients may need is onsite at our Jackson Street Campus.
Physical therapy is a large part of the rehabilitation services we offer, and physical therapy staff visit daily to assist patients in walking, getting in and out of bed, and completing prescribed physical therapy treatments. Our physical therapists work with nurses and doctors to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan for each patient, and ensure that patients are recovering as quickly as possible to reach their best potential. Physical therapy may take place in an individual or group setting depending on patient needs and their personal care plans.

OakBend Medical Center has some of the kindest staff I’ve ever seen. They were exceptionally good, coming in to check on me and being very attentive to my needs. I could tell the staff had a lot to deal with but they never let that interfere with treating me or giving me the best care possible. I appreciate them very much. OakBend is as complete a facility as I’ve seen.

I have felt this is a great place to recover. I did not know about Skilled Nursing previously. I have been well taken care of. Everyone has been helpful, kind, and friendly. I’m going to miss such good care and having all requests handled. The therapy group was very helpful. I got a great deal of benefit from it.
