Grapevine Medical Lodge runs on leaner nursing hours than most homes, about 3.15 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 13% below its own weekday coverage. The good news is that this isn't a churn problem: turnover sits at 26.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests the staff who are there tend to stay. The home's inspection record backs that up, with a 4-star health inspection rating, eight total deficiencies and none at the harm or jeopardy level, most recently surveyed in April 2025. Where it gives ground is daily staffing depth, even as its quality measures score at the top of the scale.

Heritage House at Keller runs on 3.18 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 2 out of 5 even as quality measures score 5 out of 5, a gap worth asking about, since strong outcomes can reflect careful documentation as much as daily care. Turnover is 45.3 percent, essentially level with the national 45.8 percent. The inspection record is more concerning: 20 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm level and 2 abuse-related, plus $22,608 in fines. It's hospital-district owned and last inspected in December 2025.

Westpark Rehabilitation and Living runs 140 certified beds in Euless under hospital district ownership, and its inspection record is the part that should worry you. The home carries 55 deficiencies on its current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Its health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, the lowest CMS assigns, with two fines totaling $26,186. Staffing runs 3.19 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 31.8% is genuinely better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure rating is 4 out of 5, though strong self-reported measures are easier to post when inspections are finding this much.

Wedgewood runs on thin staffing, and the numbers show it: 3.45 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 14% below its own weekday level. That's the kind of gap families notice on Saturday afternoons. Turnover sits at 56.1%, well above the national 45.8%, so the people caring for your relative keep changing. The health inspection record carries 39 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, though none involve abuse, and two fines total $31,778. A 5/5 quality measure score stands out, but it sits alongside 2/5 ratings for both staffing and inspections, a split worth asking about directly.

Keller Oaks runs on thin staffing. At 2.96 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits well under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday levels, so the coverage gap widens exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 58.3%, noticeably above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses caring for residents are often new to the building. Inspections look better: a May 2025 survey, 19 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and no abuse findings. The hospital-district ownership is unusual for a Texas nursing home. Clinical quality measures score well; direct care hours don't. That gap is the whole story here.

The Tuskegee Airmen Texas State Veterans Home in Fort Worth is a 120-bed nonprofit, and its inspection record carries some weight worth knowing about. Eleven deficiencies show up on the current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, not the kind of findings a family should gloss over. One CMS fine of $14,280 is on file, and the most recent inspection was May 14, 2025, so the picture is fairly fresh. We don't have enough verified data here to compute a grade for this home, which means the deficiency pattern is the main thing you can actually judge. Ask about those harm-level findings and the abuse citations directly before deciding.

Glenview Wellness & Rehabilitation runs on a leaner nurse staffing budget than most homes in the country, 2.40 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip even further below its own weekday coverage. That gap shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at the lowest tier, while annual turnover of 57.3% means the aides and nurses who are there keep changing. The inspection record is where things get more concerning: 26 deficiencies on file, four of them at the level where a resident was actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and six tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $23,970 have been levied. The quality measure rating is strong at 4 out of 5, but that's a paper score next to the hands-on reality of who's available to answer a call light.

Ridgmar Medical Lodge runs on 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average, and weekends dip another 13% below its own weekday coverage. That thin staffing shows up in the numbers: 52.7% annual turnover, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $29,598. The hospital district owns the building, so it isn't a chain cutting corners for profit, but ownership type doesn't change what families have to weigh here. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections don't. If you're considering it, ask specifically how weekends are covered.

Fort Worth Transitional Care Center runs on 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth less than the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest staffing lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 68.8% against a 45.8% national figure, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are relatively new to the building. The inspection record is the harder problem: 49 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus $64,771 in fines, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. It's a hospital-district facility, and the quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers don't.

Special Focus Facility

Viridian Wellness & Rehabilitation runs 204 beds in Arlington under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to show up. Every direct-care position turned over in the past year, against a national average near 46%, which means the aides and nurses on any given shift are often new. The current record carries 101 deficiencies, 11 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus five CMS fines totaling $312,466 and placement in the federal Special Focus Facility program. The last inspection was September 16, 2025.

The nurse staffing numbers at Downtown Health and Rehabilitation Center run about 16% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 13% below the home's own weekday level. That matters because more than nine in ten caregivers left over the past year, a 93.6% turnover rate against a national figure near 46%. The current inspection record carries 50 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and 11 tied to abuse; fines total $36,418. Fort Worth's hospital district operates the 161-bed home, and its last inspection was March 12, 2026. Low staffing stars and repeated turnover rarely sit apart from inspection trouble.
