Nursing Services in Texas
Continuous, hands-on clinical care across homes, facilities, and community settings. Our licensed nurses coordinate every aspect of the patient’s treatment plan, monitor health status, administer medications and treatments, and educate patients and families.
What Our Nurses Do
Nurses provide continuous, hands-on clinical care, coordinating all aspects of the patient’s treatment plan, monitoring health status, administering medications and treatments, and educating patients and families.
At Universal Rehab, our RNs and LVNs work in patients’ homes, in partner facilities, and in agency-based programs across Texas. Nursing is often the thread that holds an interdisciplinary plan together — keeping physicians, therapists, dietitians, and caregivers on the same page while making sure what’s happening at the bedside matches what the chart says.
Examples of Services We Provide
- Medication administration and management (oral, IV, injectable)
- Wound care, dressing changes, and ostomy care
- Vital-sign monitoring and assessment of changes in patient condition
- IV therapy, catheter care, and tube management
- Patient and family education on diagnosis, self-care, and discharge instructions

- Post-hospital discharge follow-up

Because nurses see patients regularly, they often catch early changes that prevent hospital readmissions. Our model emphasizes that clinical vigilance — not just completing tasks, but noticing what changed and communicating it to the rest of the team.

What to Expect
Intake & Clinical Review
We review the physician’s orders, medications, diagnoses, and care history. Insurance verification happens in parallel so there are no surprises at the first visit.
Initial Nursing Visit
Our nurse performs a head-to-toe assessment, reviews medications, checks the home or facility environment, and confirms that the written plan of care matches what the patient actually needs.
Ongoing Visits
Visit frequency is determined by medical need and physician orders. The nurse delivers skilled care, monitors condition, coordinates with therapy disciplines, and documents changes.
Team Communication
Our nurses act as a communication hub — keeping physicians, therapists, social work, and family in the loop with clear, timely updates.
Our Clinical Standards
Our nursing practice follows the standards set by the American Nurses Association (ANA) and the Texas Board of Nursing. Nurses complete ongoing continuing education in wound care, infection control, IV therapy, medication safety, and population-specific care (geriatric, IDD, complex medical).
