LAVACA BAY NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER

118 TRINITY SHORES DRIVE, PORT LAVACA, TX 77979

Lavaca Bay Nursing and Rehabilitation Center shows a real Jekyll and Hyde thing going on; they're crushing it on bedsores, which means the hands-on care for preventing those is genuinely good, but then the bigger picture looks pretty rough. That means while your loved one’s skin is likely getting good attention for breakdown, the overall clinical oversight is a major worry, with registered nurse hours significantly below the recommended minimum, which can lead to missed diagnoses and hospitalizations.
