I was joined by Coy Tow, Director of Business Development for Cantex Continuing Care Network.  Coy spoke about the differences between Transitional Living/Rehabilitation vs. Skilled Nursing/Long-Term Care.  Cantex has several beautiful communities around the state of Texas, both physical rehab facilities, as well as long-term care/skilled nursing facilities, including a brand-new rehabilitation facility right outside of Austin, in Round Rock, TX, Bel Air at Teravista.  You can find out about Cantex, and a community near you, by going to:  http://cantexcc.com/.  You can also call Bel Air at Teravista for information about that community and for help in finding a community in your area:  512-310-3700.  

Coy also let us know about the very important state website that will help you find the skilled nursing facilities in your zip-code and let you know how they rate according to the state health department.  Go to:   http://www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare/search.html?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 and plug in your zip code.
