Creative Solutions in Healthcare, the largest skilled nursing operator in Texas, has acquired five skilled nursing facilities from Diversicare, effective July 1. This acquisition brings the company’s statewide footprint to 174 properties, including 153 skilled nursing locations.

The newly acquired facilities are located in Houston, Lockhart, Lampasas, Yorktown, and Luling. Each location is planned to begin substantial upgrades to infrastructure and resident services.

“This expansion allows us to bring our standard of care to even more residents across the state,” said Gary Blake, CEO of Creative Solutions in Healthcare. “We’re committed to investing in these communities and in the people who live and work there.”

Creative Solutions has confirmed that all resident mattresses, 475 in total, will be replaced as part of a broader effort to improve comfort and quality. Additional renovations will include updated furnishings, and interior upgrades.

Blake continued saying, “We are very excited to bring these buildings into the Creative Solutions in Healthcare Family. We are proud of the care that we provide, and we’re grateful for our continued expansion. More families in Texas choose a Creative Solutions in Healthcare facility for their loved ones than any other company in Texas. Quality care, clean facilities, delicious food, and customer service are the cornerstone of the service we provide.”

Creative Solutions has been gearing up for the acquisition since the official announcement made in mid-May. The company has arranged to bring food service and housekeeping teams in-house, ending outsourced contracts to strengthen quality control and accountability.

Teams from various departments worked tirelessly to ensure a seamless integration of CSNHC’s standards into these buildings. From housekeeping and dietary to clinical and operations, every aspect of care received meticulous attention to uphold CSNHC’s commitment to excellence. Prior to the official transition date, CSNHC’s culinary team was on-site, transforming dietary operations into Creative Solutions Kitchens, promising residents a culinary experience that reflects CSNHC’s commitment to innovation and quality from the very first bite. Additionally, CSNHC’s White Glove Inspectors conducted extensive training sessions with housekeeping and laundry teams, instilling the ‘Creative Solutions Clean’ mindset in these facilities.

Along with adopting Creative Solutions quality standards, some changes also include additional online resources. The facilities will soon offer a payment portal and the Connected Care Center, a resident portal where authorized users can access real-time health information, enhancing communication and transparency in care delivery.
