BRENHAM NURSING & REHAB CENTER OFFICIALS RESPOND TO COVID CASES

  

Officials with Brenham Nursing and Rehabilitation Center have responded to an investigation into a large number of cases of Coronavirus at the facility

Brooke Ladner, Senior Vice President for Business Development with Regency Integrated Health Services, the center’s parent company, has issued a statement, saying that “Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, staff members of the Brenham Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (BNRC) have worked diligently to protect its residents from infection, by adhering to recommendations and guidelines set by local, state, and federal agencies. Our supplies of Personal Protection Equipment have been fortified, staff members undergo regular training and staff and residents have been tested in conjunction with the Department of Health.”

Ladner says the company was notified late Friday afternoon that a Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) response team was being dispatched to Brenham to assist in the facility’s COVID-19 response.

Ladner goes on to say, the facility does not, “anticipate a disruption in the care we are able to provide as the state expedites on-site testing.”

She says the company is committed to maintaining an open line of communication with residents, staff and family members as more information is available.
