Overview of Blue Skies of Texas East

Blue Skies of Texas East is a 24-bed nursing facility at 4917 Ravenswood Dr in San Antonio, with 14 years of operating history and a current occupancy of 68%. The average length of stay runs 109 days, which is longer than a strictly short-term rehab model but short enough to signal that post-acute recovery defines much of what happens here. Medicare and private pay are both accepted.

Nursing coverage totals 6 hours and 31 minutes per resident per day: 3 hours and 1 minute from nurse aides, 1 hour and 22 minutes from LPN/LVN staff, and 46 minutes of RN time. The service list includes rehabilitation, respite care, and 24-hour staffing. State inspections have addressed themes spanning medication management, infection prevention, emergency preparedness, care planning and documentation, dietary services, resident rights, and staffing and staff credentials; a broad cross-section of operational areas rather than any single concentrated focus.

What distinguishes this community is the amenity picture, which reads like a much larger campus than 24 beds would suggest. Residents have access to a pool, fitness centers, a woodshop and art studio, a dog park, a community garden, a library, a billiard and game room, outdoor walking trails, interdenominational chapels, and 24-hour concierge service. Dining centers on fresh, seasonal, made-from-scratch preparation, and over 70 activity groups are available. For a small nursing unit, the physical environment and activity infrastructure here are substantively above what most facilities at this scale offer.

Standout metric Registered Nurse (RN) is +81% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	46m per day	▲ 81% State avg: 25m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	1h 22m per day	▲ 45% State avg: 57m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	3h 1m per day	▲ 49% State avg: 2h 1m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	4h 17m per day	▲ 42% State avg: 3h 0m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	6m per day	▲ 61% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	34m per day	▲ 71% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day
