Pleasanton South runs on a government hospital district license with 88 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 2.78 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 28% under the national average, with weekends running about 23% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating and in 47.3% annual turnover, slightly above the national rate. The inspection record carries 33 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus $24,653 in fines; the most recent inspection was December 10, 2025. Quality measures score well, but a 3/5 inspection rating and low staffing tell you where the risk sits.

Country Care Manor runs lean on the floor. At 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 21% below its own weekday pace, the gap families feel most on Saturday and Sunday. Turnover is the brighter spot: 38.5% against a national 45.8% means the staff who are there tend to stay, which matters for consistency even when the numbers are thin. On paper, inspections and quality measures both rate well, with no harm-level or abuse-related deficiencies among the 12 on record and $22,143 in fines across two events. A hospital district runs it, and the last inspection was recent.

Oak Grove Nursing Home runs on thin staffing. Its CMS staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, meaning nurse hours per resident fall well below what most Texas homes report, and that's the number that shapes daily life, not the inspection sheet. The health inspection side looks better, a 4 out of 5 with 14 deficiencies on record and none at harm level, though three abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly. Quality measures come in at 2 out of 5. Government hospital district ownership is stable, and the most recent inspection was September 2025, so the record is current. Weigh the low staffing against the recent clean inspection before deciding.

Senior Care Health & Rehabilitation Center in Wichita Falls runs on a government hospital district license and holds a five-star inspection record, with its most recent survey completed in February 2025. That inspection history is clean where it matters most: no deficiencies tied to harm or jeopardy, none related to abuse. Where the home falls short is staffing. At 3.15 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 16% below its own weekday levels, a real concern if your family visits or needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover at 40.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay.

The Heights of Atascosa runs lean on nursing hours: 3.42 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 16 percent below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and problems tend to surface. Turnover sits at 41.2 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8 percent, so the staff who are there tend to stay. Inspections look stronger, a 4/5 health inspection rating and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, though one abuse-related citation appears on the current record among 16 total. The last inspection was in May 2025. The staffing star rating of 2/5 is the weak point; quality measures score 4/5.

River Bend Healthcare runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes in the country, 3.39 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below what the building staffs on weekdays. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and when problems tend to surface. The inspection record shows 49 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with $18,225 in fines across two cases; the last survey was February 13, 2026. It's a hospital-district-owned home, which can mean steadier public oversight but doesn't change what the numbers say about daily coverage. The quality measure score runs high, yet staffing sits at the bottom of the federal scale.

River Bluff runs a 304-bed for-profit operation in Rockford, and the staffing numbers are the strongest thing it has going: 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 44.4%, essentially in line with the national figure. The concerns show up elsewhere. Thirty-six deficiencies are on the current record, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, and the quality measure rating lands at 2 out of 5. A single fine of $10,199 and an inspection from April 2025 round out the picture.

The Southeast Louisiana War Veterans Home in Reserve is a state-run home with just eight certified beds, which puts it in a category most families never encounter, a facility small enough that staffing and oversight work differently than at a 120-bed nursing home. Its federal inspection record is clean where it matters: three deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and a September 2025 inspection that's still recent. The staffing picture is where it separates from the national average, and that gap is what holds the grade down despite the strong survey results. For a veteran-eligible family, the inspection history is reassuring; just go in understanding what eight beds means for daily coverage.

Northeast La War Veterans Home is a small state-run home in Monroe, just 8 certified beds, which is closer to a group residence than a typical nursing facility. Its last inspection was in March 2026, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions, and the inspection history shows 8 deficiencies with none rising to actual harm or jeopardy. One abuse-related citation is on the record, which is worth asking about directly. With so few residents, staffing ratios can swing widely from week to week, so ask how many direct-care hours each resident actually gets and who covers nights and weekends.

The Louisiana War Veterans Home in Jackson is a ten-bed state-run home, and its inspection record looks nearly spotless, a single deficiency on the books, nothing at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse finding, and a fresh survey from December 2025. The problem sits elsewhere. Federal staffing numbers put this home at the bottom of the national range, which is what pulls its overall picture down despite the clean inspections. With only ten beds, one aide calling out can change the whole day, so that thin staffing number matters more here, not less. State ownership means public accountability, but it doesn't guarantee enough hands on the floor. Ask directly how many staff are present on evenings and weekends before you decide.

Plainview Manor runs 39 beds under city government ownership, and the numbers split in two directions. The health inspection side is decent, three stars, with 15 deficiencies on record but none rising to actual harm or jeopardy, and a recent survey from August 2025. Where it struggles is everything measured outside the survey visit: one star for staffing and one star for quality measures. Those two ratings look at day-to-day nurse coverage and how residents are actually faring on clinical measures, and both land well below what you'd want to see. Four abuse-related deficiencies also appear on the current record, which is worth asking about directly. City-owned homes like this one often sit in small towns with limited labor pools, which can explain thin staffing, but it doesn't make the shortfall less real. Ask what direct-care hours look like on evenings and weekends.

Parkwood In The Pines runs on thin staffing: 3.14 nurse hours per resident day, about 19% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday levels. That gap shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at 1 out of 5 stars, while annual turnover of 54.6% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $21,473. Quality measures score 5 stars, but a hospital-district home with this much turnover and this few hands is one to visit unannounced.

Robstown Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on 2.71 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 30% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage lines up with a one-star CMS staffing rating, and more than half the nursing staff turned over in a year, 53.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people at the bedside keep changing. The record shows 17 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus a $12,055 fine. It's a hospital-district home with 94 beds, last inspected January 6, 2026; its quality measures score well, but quality scores and daily staffing aren't the same thing.

The Vermont Veterans' Home in Bennington runs on state government ownership with 177 certified beds, and its staff turnover sits at 29.2%, noticeably below the national average of 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. But the staffing star rating lands at just 1 out of 5, and quality measures come in at 1 out of 5 as well, even as the health inspection rating holds at 4 out of 5. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $8,278. The last inspection was March 11, 2026. Low turnover is a real strength; the thin staffing and quality scores pull hard the other way.

Windsor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of Bastrop is run by a hospital district, and its inspection record reflects that, a four-star health inspection rating with 13 deficiencies on file, just one at the harm level and none related to abuse. The problem is staffing: 2.88 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 26% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 45%, basically identical to the national figure. One fine totaling $15,920 is on record, and the last inspection was July 2025. Good surveys don't help much when there are fewer hands on deck each day.

Windsor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of Weslaco is run by a hospital district, and its nurses put in 2.41 hours of care per resident each day. That's about 37 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 11 percent thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 40 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure, though 26 deficiencies on the current record, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level, suggest the short staffing has real consequences. Two fines total $31,541, and the last inspection was in May 2025. The 4/5 quality measure score reflects good clinical documentation, but quality measures don't capture whether enough hands are present.

Windsor Nursing And Rehabilitation Center Of Segui runs on thin staffing: 2.79 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% under the national average, with weekends about 14% below its own weekday levels. That shows up in its staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of CMS's scale. The inspection record is mixed, 33 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $24,499 in fines across two events, though the most recent inspection came in July 2025 and quality measures score reasonably well. Turnover is 38.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Owned by a hospital district, it's not a chain, but the day-to-day nursing hours are the number to weigh hardest here.

Barton Valley runs 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 9 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14 percent below its own weekday staffing. That pattern matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families tend to visit and when care gaps are easiest to miss. The current record shows 24 deficiencies, none flagged at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Staff turnover sits at 42.2 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the last inspection was in April 2026. As a hospital district home, it answers to a public board, so meeting records and complaint responses are available if you ask.

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.

Vista Ridge runs lean on nursing hours, 3.46 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level. That thin staffing shows up in the turnover number too: 62.2% of nurses leaving in a year, well above the 45.8% national rate, which means unfamiliar faces are often the ones at the bedside. The inspection record carries 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with a single $10,348 fine. A 5/5 on quality measures sits alongside a 2/5 on staffing, and the most recent inspection was December 2024.
