St. Dominic Village Nursing Home facilities include 144 licensed beds providing intermediate nursing care. One hundred twenty of the licensed beds are Medicaid certified so that those residents who outlive their resources can continue to receive quality nursing care. The nursing home has established a reputation for excellence in the community. Licensed and monitored by the Texas Department of Aging and Disabilities Services, it has consistently ranked among the top nursing homes in Harris County. Licensed nurses and other nursing personnel staff the facility on a 24 hour basis and are committed to promoting independence at the resident’s highest practicable functioning level.

People living in the nursing home require moderate to extensive assistance with activities of daily living including bathing, dressing, grooming and eating. Specialized services, such as therapeutic diets, rehabilitation services (physical, speech and occupational) and a restorative care program are provided according to physician direction. The nursing home also provides a secured unit for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias whose behavior places them at risk. St. Dominic Village has proactively developed an in-house phlebotomy team that draws specimens and monitors physician orders to promote quality care.

St. Dominic Village has also developed a Wound Care Team whose purpose is to implement a wound care program with a commitment to excellence as evidenced by positive resident outcomes. Wound and skin care is an area of practice requiring a group of multi-disciplinary professionals functioning as a team.
