Maintaining health is essential and here at Texana Center we make it a priority. Our nursing team is here to assist a person and/or their family in maintaining their health. These services range from having a Registered Nurse complete a Comprehensive Nursing Assessment to assess the person’s health needs and developing a service plan to meet those needs, to providing consultation and support to the person’s caregiver(s) who are able to manage their health needs. To learn more about available nursing services please contact Manuel Lopez Jr. at (281)238-1753 or by email manuel.lopez@texanacenter.com.
Time away for families and caregivers is vital, Texana Center can assist with coordinating respite services to ensure that your loved one will be well cared for. This service is offered to a family or caregiver to provide them relief from the day to day care they provide. Our staff will work with families and caregivers who have a provider they prefer caring for the person, or we can supply a list providers who provide out of home respite services that the family can select from. To learn more about the respite program contact Esther Chavez-Garay at (281)238-1763 or by email at esther.chavez-garay@texanacenter.com.
This service is available to individuals with developmental disabilities who reside in nursing facilities.
