Palomino Place in Mesquite, TX, operates as a nursing home, providing 24-hour skilled nursing for residents who require consistent medical oversight. The team is trained to manage chronic conditions, with particular attention to Diabetes Care. Blood glucose monitoring, medication administration, and coordination with physicians for insulin adjustments are integrated into daily routines to help residents maintain stable levels and avoid complications.
Beyond direct medical care, the community offers support with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility assistance. A licensed nurse is on site at all times to respond to changes in condition, and rehabilitation services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available by referral. The staff coordinates transportation to outside medical appointments when necessary, ensuring continuity of care with each resident’s personal healthcare providers.
Resident accommodations include both private and semi-private rooms, and some units have access to outdoor areas where residents can spend time in fresh air under staff supervision. Not all accommodations have all the features, so families are encouraged to verify specific room layouts and amenities during a tour.
Meals are provided three times daily, with menus designed to meet clinical nutrition guidelines. Diabetic-friendly options are always available, and a dietitian reviews individual care plans to adjust carbohydrate counts or portion sizes as needed. Snacks are also offered between meals to support stable glucose levels.
The community maintains an activity center where residents can participate in group programs, therapy exercises, and social events coordinated by the activities staff.
