Bivins Memorial provides outstanding memory care, as well as intermediate and skilled nursing care for elderly individuals. The mission of Bivins Memorial is to provide quality of life for residents through a range of amenities, including private rooms, private bathrooms, and beautiful views of the Harrington Regional Medical Center's park and lake. Bivins Memorial provides care for private pay and Medicaid recipients and consistently maintains high standards of excellence.

Well trained, compassionate, and caring professionals with a personal commitment to service and quality, attend to each resident's needs at Bivins Memorial, providing the comforts of a familiar environment. As much as possible, residents retain the right to make their own decisions and to participate in planning their own care and activities.

For more than 55 years, the Bivins name has set the standard for excellence in the care of older adults and their families. Bivins Memorial was originally added to the Bivins continuum to provide services for residents of the Elizabeth Jane Bivins Home as they needed more care. For nearly forty years, the programs and services at Bivins Memorial have expanded to meet the changing needs of seniors in our area. In 2006, Bivins Memorial will once again meet the priority need of caring for Elizabeth Jane Bivins residents. The Bivins Foundations are proud to introduce a renovation project at Bivins Memorial that will help us meet that need. Here are just a few highlights of the project:

* 140 Resident Capacity with Specialized Levels of Care
* Spacious Private Rooms
* Private Bath in Each Room
* Dining, Activity and Family Areas
* Beautiful Views of the Harrington Regional Medical Center Park
* Trained Compassionate and Caring Professionals
* Bivins Standard of Excellence

Skilled Nursing:

The philosophy of caring is what Bivins Memorial is all about. The facility is a 24-hour-a-day Health Care Center (nursing facility) licensed by the Texas Department of Aging and Disabilities Services (DADS). The Health Care Center is under the direction of a licensed Nursing Home Administrator. Physicians who visit the facility on a scheduled basis supervise each resident. Licensed nurses provide daily hands-on care along with other trained caregivers. The Health Care Centers' staff includes registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, certified nursing assistants, and full-time activity directors. Physicians, pharmaceutical, dietary and therapy consultants augment the staff. It is never forgotten that residents can become ill and need care. In addition, it is always remembered that nursing can be given with a caring attitude. There are no set times for visiting hours, and visitors are encouraged to come whenever they like.
