Nurse hours

Staff turnover
43%

Avir At Waco runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.50 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover lands at 42.9%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay are reasonably stable even if the floor is lean. A recent February 2026 inspection and a four-star health inspection record support that, though 20 deficiencies sit on file, one tied to abuse and none flagged at harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures come in at three stars while staffing rates two.

West Rest Haven

West Rest Haven runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.75 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are the bigger problem: coverage drops about 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so a fall or an infection on a Saturday lands on a thinner floor. Turnover is 45.1%, essentially level with the national rate. The inspection record is where this home separates from the pack. Thirty-two deficiencies stand on the current record, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one tied to abuse. State inspectors were last in on June 27, 2025, and have fined the home once for $14,069.

Crestview Healthcare Residence runs 192 certified beds in Waco under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number to sit with first: 3.05 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a fifth below what residents elsewhere get. Weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 43.3%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record shows 17 deficiencies with none at harm level, though one is abuse-related, plus a single $56,550 fine. The most recent inspection was June 19, 2025, and the 4-star health inspection rating is the strongest part of the picture.

Woodway Rehabilitation And Healthcare Center

Woodway runs leaner than the typical nursing home on nurse staffing, 3.71 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping roughly 14 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays. The bigger concern is who's left to do the work: annual turnover of 74.5 percent means most of the aides and nurses caring for residents today probably won't be there a year from now, and that churn sits well above the 45.8 percent national figure. Inspectors have cited 15 deficiencies, five involving harm or jeopardy and seven tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $14,846.

Avir At Jeffrey Place runs thinner on nursing hours than most homes, about 3.31 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 62.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $22,301 in fines across two penalties; the last inspection was April 9, 2026. A for-profit LLC operates the 95-bed building. Quality measures score well, but staffing and the deficiency history are where the concerns sit.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
63%
Serious cites

St. Anthony's runs about 4.31 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% above the national average, so there's real coverage on weekdays. Weekends run about 13% thinner, and annual turnover sits at 62.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning that staffing edge is being delivered by a constantly changing crew, which is hard on residents who need consistency. The health inspection side looks solid at 4 of 5 stars with no abuse findings, but 16 deficiencies, 2 of them at harm level, plus a recent ownership change, suggest the operation is still settling in. Quality and staffing measures both land at 2 of 5, and that gap between inspection results and daily care measures is the real story here.

Ridgecrest runs 90 certified beds in Waco under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers families tend to ask about first are staffing and turnover. Staff turnover here sits at 82.1 percent against a national average of 45.8, meaning most of the people caring for residents in a given year are new to the building. The staffing star rating of 1 out of 5 reflects that churn, and the health inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, so clinical metrics look better than the day-to-day picture. One fine totaling $14,267 is on record, and the last inspection was June 15, 2025.

Hewitt Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 140 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers families tend to care about most don't line up well. Nurse staffing sits at 3.20 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 14% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts land exactly when families often visit. Annual turnover of 62.5% means most of the people caring for your relative in any given year will be new, against a national rate of 45.8%. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, six serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and $33,539 in fines. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections don't.

Wesley Woods in Waco runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a story worth paying attention to. Nurses provide 3.51 hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 7% below the home's own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover hits 56.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means fewer familiar faces and more training burden. The current inspection record carries 26 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related finding. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at 2 out of 5.

Ivy Creek runs 162 certified beds in Waco under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% under the national average, weekend coverage drops another 11% below its own weekday level, and 64.7% annual turnover means the aides and nurses in the building keep changing, a rate well above the 45.8% norm. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $149,039 in fines and a survey as recent as July 2025. Quality and health inspection scores land mid-range, so the real story is thin, unstable staffing layered over a record that has already flagged harm.

Woodland Springs runs on 3.06 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and staffing thins out further on weekends. That shortfall shows up in the numbers families can't see at the door: 29 deficiencies on the current record, nine of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and seven tied to abuse. Inspectors last visited in August 2024 and left five fines totaling $92,215. With 54.7% of staff leaving each year, the aides who know your mother's routines are probably gone within twelve months. The corporate owner has kept the building open at this level for a while.

Greenview runs on 2.86 nurse hours per resident day, well under the 3.86 national average, and weekends drop about 9% below what the home already provides on weekdays. Nearly 70% of nursing staff turned over in a year, against a 45.8% national figure, with a for-profit LLC operating the 128 beds. The current inspection record carries 45 deficiencies, nine of them at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, and the home has been fined five times for $73,108 total. Its last inspection was March 19, 2025.

St. Joseph's Care Center runs 100 certified beds in McGregor under for-profit partnership ownership. Its record shows two deficiencies, one serious enough to reach the harm or jeopardy level, meaning inspectors found a problem that had already hurt or endangered a resident, not just a paperwork gap. One CMS fine totals $12,735. No abuse-related citations are on file, and the most recent inspection, dated June 12, 2025, is recent enough that the findings still describe the home as it operates now. A single harm-level deficiency in a 100-bed building is not a pattern, but it is not nothing either. Ask what happened and what changed afterward.
