Physician

Your personal Southeast Texas senior physician may choose to provide medical direction during your stay with us.

Family

For Southeast Texas seniors, family members and friends are key participants in your recovery- we respond to our family and want to show them our progress and recovery.

At Clairmont Beaumont, family has a role in goal setting with seniors and providing the motivation and cooperation necessary for successful therapy.

Clairmont Beaumont team members encourage your family members and friends to actively participate in your therapy program.

Nursing Team

All Clairmont Beaumont nursing care during your stay will be guided 24 hours a day by nurses who are experienced in rehabilitation and/or long-term care of Southeast Texas seniors.

The nursing unit you are assigned to will have a charge nurse who will oversee nursing aspects of your care.

Supporting him/her will be nursing aides who are primarily responsible for assisting you in personal hygiene, dressing, eating, and other daily tasks during your recovery until you’re ready to resume them yourself.

Social Worker

The Clairmont Beaumont Social Worker for Southeast Texas senior patients (or his/her designee) will meet with you and your family soon after admission to collect a detailed history of your past living situation.

The social worker becomes your main contact.

He/she will also work with you in planning for discharge back to your home or to a level of Southeast Texas senior care that meets your needs as you progress.

Dietitian

The Clairmont Beaumont Dietitian is specially trained to assure that you receive adequate nutrition.

On admission, a diet history is taken to include your eating habits, previous special diets, and any nutrition related problems.

Food preferences are also noted.

Coordinating with your physician, nutritional needs are then followed throughout your stay.
