Overview of North Houston Transitional Care

North Houston Transitional Care is a nursing home in Houston, Texas, providing nursing care and skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock, making the home suitable for residents who need ongoing clinical support.

The home has 34 beds. Its smaller size may suit someone who prefers a setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Private rooms provide each resident with a single personal living space. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 22 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time available for each resident, while the 82% occupancy rate means not every bed is occupied at the same time.

North Houston Transitional Care accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay. Medicaid may help families whose savings may not cover a long stay. Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, and private pay means paying directly. Ahmad K Elsaadi serves as administrator, and Websteridence Opco operates the community.

The Heights of North Houston, in Houston, TX, runs a nursing home and also has memory care and respite care. Nursing home residents get nursing care on a long-term basis. Memory care keeps watch over residents who might wander, inside a secured setting. A respite stay is short, booked when a family’s regular caregiver needs someone to step in.

That makes it a fit for someone with dementia who needs supervising, or for a family after short-term help.

The building has 131 beds. Rooms come private, for one resident, or semi-private, shared with a roommate. On average, nursing staff spend 3 hours and 24 minutes a day with each resident.

Payment can be Medicaid, Medicare, or private pay. Medicare pays for skilled care once someone leaves the hospital, though it doesn’t cover living here. If savings won’t stretch across a long stay, Medicaid may help. Private pay is just the family paying the bill.

Brian L. Martin is the administrator. The Walk Score is 53, somewhat walkable, which puts a few errands within reach on foot.
