A skilled Nursing Facility is one step above a ""Nursing Home."" Skilled Nursing offeres Physical Therapy, Nursing home residents are not offered that opportunity.. Now, When PT informs you that your not going to receive PT for that day because the therapist called in sick, how do they get away with that?? If a bus driver calls in sick, do you take a cab to work? Maybe not go to work that day... No, they find a replacemnet...Mesa Vista PT program puts you on hold for the ""Next Day..."" PT can't get with the program, but you are limited with the amount of time you can spend at Mesa Vista due to limitations outlined by Medicare.. These people are Licensed Professionals thru the State of Texas.. There are many care facilities in the San Antonio area.. Do not let a case worker snow you with words like, ""your loved one has been accepted into the Mesa Vista program, with no out of pocket cost to you.."" ""We will arrange for all transportation without any cost to you.."" You have other options, there are other Skilled Nursing facilities in the San Antonio area....If Mesa Vista is a faclity that works well for you, I suggest that you tour the facility during the morning, noon and evening hours.. Once you see the facility at offset times, you will be able to determine if Mesa Vista Inn is the right place for your loved one......If you care about your loved one, do your research!!!!!!!
