Memorial Hospital Ltcu in Abilene runs on a government hospital-district license and 75 certified beds. The staffing numbers are the strongest part of the story: 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, though weekend coverage slips about 7% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 55.1% against a 45.8% national average, so the people providing that care are cycling through fairly quickly. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent survey in September 2024. Quality measure scores came in at 2 stars while staffing earned 4.

Clarence Care Center runs on county money, and its nurse staffing reflects that: 4.15 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 9% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 40%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the recent inspection date of January 29, 2026 means the record is current. What holds it back is the inspection history: 25 deficiencies, one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, against a quality measure rating of 2 out of 5. Strong hands-on staffing, but a record that needs watching.

Wood Haven is county-owned, which usually means steadier oversight than a for-profit chain, and its quality measures come in strong at 5 out of 5 stars. The staffing picture is more mixed: 3.71 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover runs 48.8%, a few points above the national rate. Inspections show 29 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, though three are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in April 2026. Nothing here reads as dangerous, but the thin weekend staffing and abuse citations are worth asking about directly.

Clarksville Nursing Home is run by the local hospital district, and its last inspection was in December 2025, recent enough that you're not looking at stale findings. The record shows 34 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and two tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly. Staffing is the weaker spot: 3.01 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average, and weekends run about 12% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 40.5% is better than the 45.8% national figure, and the 4/5 quality measure rating suggests clinical outcomes hold up despite the thin staffing.

Stonehenge of Springville is owned by a hospital district, which is unusual in this space, and its most recent inspection in March 2025 gave surveyors enough to record 13 deficiencies, one involving actual harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse. That's the part worth sitting with. The quality measure scores look strong, but those come from resident assessments the home reports itself, while the staffing picture is thinner than it appears: 3.64 nurse hours per resident day sits below the national average, weekends run about a tenth lighter than weekdays, and roughly half the staff turns over each year. Strong marks on paper, real questions underneath.

Royse City Medical Lodge runs on leaner nursing hours than most homes, 3.24 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 16 percent below, and weekends dip another 13 percent under its own weekday pace. That gap is what pulls its CMS staffing rating down to 1 out of 5, even though inspections and quality measures both come in at 4 out of 5. Turnover sits at 44.9 percent, right in line with the national 45.8, so the issue here isn't churn so much as raw coverage. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, none involving harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated February 12, 2026. Hospital district ownership is worth noting: public accountability instead of a chain.

Broadmoor Medical Lodge runs 140 certified beds in Rockwall under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is the main thing to understand here. At 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 15% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.2%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in December 2024. Quality measures score well; staffing is the weaker spot.

Gueydan Memorial Guest Home runs on 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 18% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 31%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The 26 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, so clinical performance is the weaker side of this home. If your family member needs steady hands on weekends, ask how that gap gets covered.

Iron County Medical Care Facility runs on county money, and the staffing shows it: 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, with a top federal staffing rating. That's the strongest thing here. Weekends drop about 17% below weekday coverage, though, and turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national rate, so the bench isn't especially stable. The current record carries 15 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, none at harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was April 2025. Quality measures score low despite the strong staffing. The county runs a well-covered building with a documentation problem worth asking about directly.

Del Rio Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is run by a hospital district, and its inspection record is strong, four stars, with the most recent survey in May 2025. Quality measures also score five stars. The tradeoff sits in direct care: 2.95 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends run about 19% thinner than weekdays, so a Saturday shift isn't the same as a Tuesday one. Eighteen deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus an $8,018 fine. Turnover, at 36.7%, is better than the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most.

Bronte Health and Rehab Center runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes in the country, 3.63 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 18% below its own weekday levels. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and fewer hands are on the floor. The hospital district ownership is a point in its favor, and a 4-star health inspection rating reflects real strength in how the place is run day to day. But 23 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, is a lot to carry, and 54.3% annual turnover means the staff who know your parent may not be there next year.

Legacy Estate Long Term Care runs 100 certified beds in Comanche, owned by a hospital district rather than a for-profit chain. Its last inspection was July 2025, and the record shows three deficiencies with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, which is a fairly clean sheet. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family member needs help most on Saturdays and Sundays. Quality measures come in lower than the inspection and staffing ratings suggest.

Bibb Medical Center Nursing Home runs on thinner staffing than most places. 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 what the home itself staffs during the week, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is 53.1% against a national 45.8%, which means aides and nurses cycle through faster than average. The inspection record shows nine deficiencies, none reaching harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, though the most recent look was November 2023 and the health inspection star sits at 1 out of 5. County-owned, 131 beds.

North Woods Village is county-owned, and its 155 beds are staffed thinner than most: 3.37 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 15% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover of 32.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's actually on the floor. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, plus a $24,291 fine; the most recent inspection was March 2026. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results are where the gaps sit.

Willows Of Greensburg is city/county-owned, which usually buys some stability, and its 4.18 nurse hours per resident day sit about 8% above the national average of 3.86. But weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, and turnover hits 53.2% against a national 45.8%, that's a lot of churn for a 100-bed home. The current record shows 30 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was May 2026. CMS gives it 2 stars each for staffing and health inspections, 3 for quality measures. Enough coverage on paper; the question is who's actually showing up.

Clinton Gardens is city/county-owned, and that shows up in the numbers in a couple of ways. The health inspection record is solid, 15 deficiencies on file, none of them at the harm level, and the most recent survey was in August 2025. Staffing is where it gets thinner: 3.50 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. So you have a home that inspects cleanly but runs leaner than average on direct care, especially on weekends.

Northern Lakes is run by a hospital district, which usually suggests stable public oversight, and its recent inspection history is at least current, surveyors were last in during December 2025. But that visit and the ones before it produced 12 deficiencies, including two involving actual harm or jeopardy to residents and one tied to abuse, along with a single $174,525 fine. Nurse staffing sits about 12% under the national average at 3.39 hours per resident day, and weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, which matters most when families visit. Turnover is 38.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, yet the one-star health inspection rating against four stars for quality measures and staffing tells you where the trouble lives.

Bethel Manor is county-owned, which matters here, government homes often run leaner, and this one mostly holds its own. Nurse staffing sits at 4.31 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent above the national average, though weekends drop about 12 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover is 46.4 percent, essentially neck-and-neck with the national 45.8 percent, meaning nearly half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The current record shows 32 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, and the last inspection was recent, in August 2025.

Mill Pond Health Campus is city/county-owned, which is unusual in this market, and its 68 beds run on 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 48.1%, a bit above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff turns over each year. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related. Its last inspection was May 14, 2026, so that record is recent. Quality measures score well; the staffing and inspection numbers are what hold this one back.

Prairie Lakes is county-owned, which is unusual, most nursing homes are for-profit, and it holds up reasonably well on inspections, with a 4 out of 5 star rating and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The catch is staffing. Total nurse hours sit essentially at the national average, but weekends run about 14 percent thinner than weekdays, and turnover is 51.6 percent against a national 45.8 percent. That combination, an inspection record that looks clean next to a workforce that keeps churning, is what holds the grade to a B. One abuse-related deficiency is on the record; worth asking about directly.
