About Weslaco Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Weslaco Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 120-bed skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Weslaco, Texas. The center serves patients recovering from surgery, stroke, and other conditions requiring rehabilitative care and wound management.

Family experiences at the facility vary considerably. Families consistently praise the rehabilitation therapy staff, physical therapists and CNAs are frequently named as compassionate and dedicated to patient progress, with one family noting their therapist was "determined to make me leave walking even if I had to use a walker." Several families highlight individual nurses and aides (Tina, Leo, Amanda, Gracie, and others) as exceptionally caring and going "above and beyond." However, reviews also surface recurring concerns: multiple families report food quality as bland or unappetizing, inconsistent responsiveness from nursing staff on certain shifts, and cleanliness issues in patient rooms. One family described waiting 25 minutes for assistance, while another reported mold on air-conditioning vents and rooms "not often kept up with."

The facility holds a 4.6 out of 5 Google rating based on 161 reviews. While high ratings cluster around experiences with specific staff members and rehabilitation outcomes, lower ratings point to operational inconsistencies that families found frustrating, particularly around meal service, environmental maintenance, and staff attentiveness during evening and night shifts.

Dirty rooms, meals are not the best and taste bad. For those who are abandoned there and no one else takes them food I sympathize with. Nurses don’t care and takes them hours or even days for help. CNAs try at time but they also will forget about you for an hour or two or put off care. Has potential to be a great place really the few in there that care stick out like a sore thumb but overall a very bad experience. Wish the rooms were really looked at and freshened up better. If you ever go visit someone here be kind and also check in with the roommate assigned to the room.

Rooms are dirty and not often kept up with. A/C vents have mold on them. Nurses / CNAs don’t care and the food is barely edible. The nicest person we’ve ever encountered was the young girl who sits in the front where you sign up for visiting. Patients are barely looked at and moved. I had to help a random lady in the restroom who had been in there for half an hour and pulled the emergency string. Staff in hall was made aware of and didn’t have no sense of urgency for the lady
