Van Healthcare Center

I visited this facility

Van Healthcare Center is a small nursing home located in Van, Texas. I have visited this facility about ten times over the past few years. It is an older nursing home and it looks like an older home. Out of the twenty or so nursing homes that I have visted this nursing home is among the least attractive homes. While the appearance of a nursing home is not among the most important factors for choosing a nursing home, it is the first thing you notice when entering. The rooms are quite small and the appearance is stale. It certainly doesn't have a homelike feel to it. The staff were not especially friendly, though this wasn;t the case with everyone who works there. Nursing homes always have high turnover rates compared to other types of businesses and healthcare facilities. There are not many options nearby Van, Texas. Since there is little competition in the area, Van Healthcare doesn't have much of a reason to improve the appearance of the facility. I believe the care is average. Overall, I would rate the nursing home two stars. I never noticed anyone not being taken care of but the atmosphere isn't the greatest and staff didn;t seem to go out of there way to make someone feel welcome.
