How for-profit homes in Texas compare
This group set against every nursing home in Texas, from the current CMS release.
Avir At Petal Hill runs 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Its record shows 33 deficiencies, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $31,256 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover sits at 43.9%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. All three CMS ratings, health inspection, quality measures, staffing, land at 2 out of 5, and the most recent inspection was March 5, 2026. For a 120-bed for-profit corporate home, the pattern is thin staffing, repeated serious findings, and middle-to-low marks across the board.
Paradigm Northwest runs 148 beds in Houston under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.96 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover of 52.3% outpaces the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your family would see are cycling through steadily. Its inspection record carries 33 deficiencies, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $51,400. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so that picture is current. CMS rates staffing and health inspections 1 out of 5; quality measures land at 3.
Desoto Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs about 2.96 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and staffing thins out further on weekends. The bigger red flag is turnover: 96.6% of nursing staff leave within a year, against a national rate near 46%, which makes it hard to keep consistent caregivers who know the residents. The 18 deficiencies on record include one at the harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $12,740 has been levied. Quality measures look strong at 5/5 stars, but staffing sits at 1/5, and that gap between good outcomes on paper and thin, constantly changing staff is what drives the low overall score.
Grace Pointe Wellness Center runs 154 certified beds in El Paso under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers don't line up in the family's favor. Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop about 19% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the coverage your relative gets on a Saturday is thinner than what the inspection record assumes. That record carries 53 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $76,770. The quality measure score looks strong, but quality measures are self-reported, and a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating alongside a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating is what the state actually found when it walked through the door in March 2026.
Focused Care At Humble runs 134 certified beds in Harris County under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble shows. At 3.23 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday level. Nearly half the staff turned over last year, 49.3% against a national 45.8%. The 17 deficiencies on record include 3 at harm or jeopardy level, with two fines totaling $19,410; the last inspection was in May 2025. Quality measures score well, but thin, churning staffing is the pattern a family should weigh hardest here.
Avir At Jefferson runs 116 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday level, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families are most likely to visit.
Turnover tells a similar story: 58.8% annually against a national 45.8%, so more than half the nursing staff left within a year. Behind that churn sits an inspection record with 44 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus $16,498 in fines. The most recent inspection was December 2025. Three 2-out-of-5 stars across health, quality, and staffing round it out.
Sixty-one deficiencies sit on Focused Care At Linden's record, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and four tied to abuse. Federal inspectors wrote four fines totaling $391,545. The company runs this 131-bed home for profit, and the health inspection rating is one out of five stars.
Staffing is the other trouble spot: 2.61 nurse hours per resident day, well under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 12% thinner than weekdays. Turnover runs 53.6% a year against a 45.8% national figure, so caregivers keep cycling out. The quality measure score of four stars reflects charted clinical care, but that's measured on paper, the inspection record and thin staffing describe what happens on the floor.
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.
The Heights At Medical Center runs on 3.00 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average, and its own weekend coverage drops another 10% below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 56.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people left covering those shifts are often new. Inspectors cited 44 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and fined the home twice for $22,052 combined. A for-profit LLC operates the 134-bed building, and its last inspection was August 2025. Resident outcome measures look better than the staffing does, but the hands-on care numbers are what families feel day to day.
Focused Care At Midland runs about 2.95 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 13% under its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage shows up on the record: 45 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with a $9,281 fine and a June 2025 inspection. Staff turnover sits at 41.2%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, though the CMS star ratings land at 2 out of 5 across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. For-profit corporate ownership and 106 beds. Ask about weekend coverage specifically, and request the plan of correction for that harm-level finding.
Twilight Home in Corsicana runs about 3.30 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday staffing. The bigger problem is turnover: 94.9% of staff leave each year, more than double the national rate, so the people providing that already-thin care are constantly new. Inspections look strong on paper, a 4 out of 5 star rating, with the most recent visit in May 2025, but the record still carries 10 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $12,795 fine. CMS rates the staffing domain 1 out of 5 stars, and that's the number that matters most day to day.
Winnie L Nursing & Rehabilitation runs on thin staffing and high turnover, and both numbers are worth sitting with. Nurses provide 3.27 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13% below what the home manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 87.5%, nearly double the national rate, which means the people caring for residents are constantly new. The inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding and $51,479 in fines; the last inspection was May 2025. Ownership is a for-profit corporation. Quality measure scores look strong, but that's the part of the record least connected to how the building is actually run day to day.
Huebner Creek runs on thin nursing coverage. At 2.52 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 35% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 24% below what the home already staffs on weekdays. That matters when you're thinking about who answers a call light on a Saturday.
The inspection record is heavier than the staffing picture alone would suggest: 54 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 2026, so the findings are recent, not stale. A single fine of $14,327 is on file. Limited liability ownership, 146 beds, and quality measures that rate better than the staffing and inspection scores, a gap worth asking about directly.
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.
Villa Toscana At Cypress Woods runs on 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 11 percent below its own weekday staffing. The bigger problem is turnover: 91.4 percent of staff leave within a year, double the national rate, which means whoever is at the bedside is often new to the building. Inspectors have cited 39 deficiencies on the current record, including four at the harm level and four related to abuse, with $37,827 in fines across three penalties. The 4/5 quality measure score reflects resident care measures, not the safety record or the thin staffing that surrounds it.
Park Village runs 3.05 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 15% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record carries 52 deficiencies, eight at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $221,389. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. Quality measures look strong at 5/5, but that score sits alongside a 1/5 on both inspections and staffing, a split worth asking about directly.
Swan Health At Wichita Falls runs 72 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.24 hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 6% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest hours come when families often visit. The record shows 27 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on March 20, 2025. CMS gives it 4 stars for health inspections but only 1 for staffing and 2 for quality measures. The tension is clear: surveyors found relatively few serious problems, yet the daily staffing numbers and quality metrics are where the weakness lives, especially on weekends.
River Oaks runs on a staffing model that doesn't hold. Nearly every employee who worked there a year ago is gone now, turnover sits at 95.6% against a national average of 45.8%, and the staffing star rating reflects it at 1 out of 5. That churn shows up in the record: 37 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $60,095. The health inspection rating is also 1 star, though the quality measure score of 4 suggests some clinical targets are being met on paper. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. The most recent inspection was April 17, 2026.
Hillside Medical Lodge runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 16% below its own weekday levels. That's the number families should weigh hardest, since it's the one that shapes daily care. Turnover sits at 46.7%, roughly in line with the national figure, and the home changed owners within the past year, which often means new management still settling in. The good news: 13 deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus a four-star health inspection rating and a recent December 2025 inspection. Quality measures land at two stars.
Nurse staffing at The Highlands runs 3.32 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 14% lighter, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit and aides often work short. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, plus four abuse-related citations and one fine of $47,726; the most recent inspection was December 30, 2025. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 116 certified beds, and its CMS staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5 while health inspections and quality measures each sit at 2.
