Overview of Rio Grande Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

Facebook Instagram

Owned by Jacob Duke, Rio Grande Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a 60-bed nursing home that spotlights short-term rehabilitation and skilled nursing care. It welcomes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families have flexible ways to afford rehabilitation stays and continuous care needs. With an 87 percent occupancy rate, averaging a stay of about 246 days, the facility balances short-term rehab admissions with residents staying for longer-term skilled nursing care.

Rio Grande Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, clinically speaking, is equipped for specialized rehabilitation across numerous vital areas. Cardiac rehabilitation, orthopedic rehabilitation, pain management, pulmonary care, diabetes management, wound healing, and palliative care services are among the home offerings. This range of focused programs makes it a solid option for people recuperating from cardiac or orthopedic surgery, managing a pulmonary condition, or needing skilled wound care and pain support alongside nursing oversight. Beneficial to short-term rehab residents is subacute care, while respite stays and 24-hour staffing sustain scheduled recovery and active resident needs. Daily attentive care averages 2 hours 42 minutes per resident, with nursing support from registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses spread throughout the day. This staffing mix offers a consistent presence and support all the time. The physical setting has private and semi-private suites, a spacious courtyard and patio where residents can spend time outdoors, and family lounges for visiting and time together. Dining options are tagged as a fine dining variety, and the home supplies standard support services like laundry, housekeeping, Wi-Fi, and cable TV. Some nearby services may be within walking reach, with most trips necessitating transportation, as the location is somewhat walkable with a grade of 34 out of 100.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

vs avg

6 of 6 metrics below state avg

Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 31m per day ▼ 38% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 35m per day ▼ 13% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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. 2h 6m per day ▼ 5% State avg: 2h 12m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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. 2h 45m per day ▼ 16% State avg: 3h 16m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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. 2m per day ▼ 66% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 21m per day ▼ 41% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 28m per day
