Gulf Health Care Center - Texas City

Home

Our staff understands that choosing a health care facility is a new experience for our patients and their families and we are sensitive to the importance of helping new patients feel welcome and at home. Patients and their families are included in the important decision-making process of care planning. And we encourage patients to pursue interests, and activities that encourage a meaningful, fulfilling lifestyle.

Our team of health care professionals is led by a licensed administrator and includes our medical director, consultant pharmacist and consultant dietician. From the director of nurses and our rehabilitation staff, to the activity director and social worker, our staff works to address the special needs of each patient.

Our rehabilitation unit features a separate focus. Our fully-equipped, rehabilitation gym is staffed by physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists. While many of our patients are able to return home, our goal is to get every patient functioning at their highest level and capability.
