All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Cleburne,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Ridgeview is run by a hospital district, which is worth knowing, that public structure can mean steadier oversight than a for-profit chain, and the inspection record backs it up. Twenty deficiencies sounds like a lot until you see none reached the level of actual harm and none involved abuse, and a December 2025 inspection means the findings are recent rather than stale. The staffing side is where the picture softens: at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, this home sits slightly under the national figure, weekends run noticeably thinner than weekdays, and turnover of 51.6% tops the national rate of 45.8%. Solid surveys, but ask about who's actually on the floor on a Sunday.
Colonial Manor runs about 3.78 nursing hours per resident per day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters more when turnover sits at 52.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, because a changing roster makes it harder to know who's on the floor. The record shows 26 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $51,594 in fines and a February 2025 inspection. The quality measure stars look strong, but the inspection and staffing numbers tell a different story.
Heritage Trails is a 122-bed for-profit home in Cleburne, and its inspection history is genuinely decent, four out of five stars, with a survey done in August 2025. The staffing is where it comes apart. At 2.76 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 28% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, which matters most when families visit and problems tend to surface. Turnover sits at 53.2%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. Twelve deficiencies are on the current record, three of them at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with seven fines totaling $67,124.
