STATE AUTHORITIES RESPOND TO COVID-19 CASES AT BRENHAM NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER

  

KWHI News has learned that state officials were at the Brenham Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Saturday morning, responding to the multiple confirmed COVID-19 cases at the facility.

According to information received, the center has confined 18 COVID-19 positive residents to one wing of the facility, as of this (Monday) morning.  Four additional residents are currently hospitalized.  These numbers do not include any staff members who may have tested positive.

KWHI reached out to the Brenham Nursing and Rehabilitation Center this morning for details on what the center is doing to protect its residents and staff from the virus.  Administrators there told KWHI “no comment” and directed us to the center’s corporate office, Regency Integrated Health Services, LLC, located in Victoria.  KWHI’s requests for comment from the corporate office remain unanswered at this time.

According to Regency’s website, visitors are not allowed into facilities managed by the provider, unless permission is given by administration.  Access to its facilities have been restricted to one entrance for staff and vendors, and all non-essential vendor interactions are being limited, in addition to non-medical appointments and activities outside of the facilities.
