Onpointe Transitional Care at Texas Health Presbyter in Dallas is licensed as a nursing home and is set up to deliver skilled nursing services around the clock. Residents have access to registered nurses and licensed vocational nurses who monitor vital signs, manage medications and deliver treatments ordered by physicians. The facility is equipped to handle complex clinical needs such as IV therapy, wound management and post-operative recovery. Short-term rehabilitation is available for patients transitioning from an acute-care hospital stay, with physical, occupational and speech therapy provided on-site to support a safe return home or to a lower level of care.
Beyond direct medical care, the community maintains on-call physician coverage, pharmacy coordination and regular interdisciplinary care plan meetings to review each resident’s progress. Laboratory and diagnostic services can be arranged without transferring residents off-site, reducing disruptions to treatment schedules. The staff provides assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and mobility, and there is a secured medication storage system to ensure accurate dispensing. Social services staff members help residents and families handle discharge planning, insurance questions and emotional support during recovery.
Accommodations include a selection of private and semi-private rooms, each furnished with a bed, wardrobe and basic seating; some rooms add a bedside table, flat-screen television or in-room shower. Housekeeping and laundry services are provided, and basic utilities, air conditioning and emergency call systems are included. Not all accommodations have every feature, so confirming room specifics during a tour is recommended. Common areas such as lounges and therapy gyms give residents space for visits and daily activities, and outdoor courtyards offer fresh-air options when weather permits.
Meals are prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian to meet general nutrition standards as well as physician-ordered therapeutic diets, including low-sodium, diabetic and texture-modified options. Residents typically receive three set meals daily, with snacks offered between meal times. The dining team aims to provide a rotating menu and can adjust portion sizes or ingredients based on individual needs. Families may arrange guest meals with advance notice, and holiday or special-occasion menus are planned throughout the year to add variety without compromising dietary requirements.
