The Stayton At Museum Way runs on a nonprofit model with 46 certified beds, and its staffing tells a real story: 4.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average. That said, weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday levels, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 37.8%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stick around. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record, 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in November 2025. Strong quality scores and steady staffing, but that deficiency count is worth asking about directly.
Allegiant Wellness runs a tight inspection record, a recent July 2025 survey and 11 deficiencies on file, none of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related. The nursing side is where it gets more ordinary: 3.83 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover lands at 50%, running a few points above the national rate, which is the kind of churn families notice in who's actually at the bedside from month to month. The quality and staffing ratings hold at 4 stars each. For-profit, LLC-owned, 60 beds, small enough that you can ask direct questions about weekend coverage and how long the current crew has been there.
Discovery Village At Southlake runs 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 43.2%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the staffing star rating comes in at 4 out of 5, so the hours are thinner than average even where the ratings look solid. The inspection history is the real story: 16 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a $12,649 fine, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. Ownership is for-profit corporate.
Immanuel's Healthcare runs 84 certified beds in Fort Worth under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 2.83 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86, weekend coverage drops another 10% below its own weekday level, and turnover hits 53.8% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Its quality measure score is perfect and inspections land middle of the pack, but one star on staffing tells you where the strain is. Ask about actual aide coverage on weekends before deciding.
Town Hall Estates Arlington is a 116-bed nonprofit home run by a church group, and its record is a study in mixed signals. The clinical quality measures look strong, but staffing sits at 3.84 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, and drops about 7% on weekends, with 46% annual turnover. The bigger concern is the inspection history: 31 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and two fines totaling $231,933, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. For a family weighing this one, ask hard questions about weekend coverage and how those harm-level findings were resolved.
Oakmont Guest Care Center runs 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day, about 16% under the national average, and weekend staffing drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, meaning the thinnest coverage hits when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger issue: 50 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, plus $28,792 in fines across three penalties. A 4/5 on quality measures doesn't offset a 1/5 on both health inspections and staffing, especially at 161 beds under for-profit ownership. The April 2025 inspection is recent enough that this reflects current conditions, not old problems.
Matlock Place runs on 2.99 nursing hours per resident day, about a quarter below the national average, and the weekend shift is even thinner than its weekdays. That staffing sits alongside a 54.6% annual turnover rate, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. The current record carries 47 deficiencies, five of them at the level where harm or immediate jeopardy was found, and five tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $26,006 are on file, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. The quality measure score sits mid-range, but the inspection and staffing numbers tell the more troubling story.
Azle Manor runs 142 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nursing hours come in around 3.32 per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average. Weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday staffing, and annual turnover sits at 61.3% against a national figure near 45.8%, meaning a large share of the people caring for your relative are new to the building. The current inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with four fines totaling $44,548 and a February 2026 inspection. Resident outcome measures score better than the staffing or inspection picture suggests, so the question worth asking on a tour is who's actually on the floor, especially Saturday and Sunday.
James L West Center runs on a dementia-specific model in Fort Worth, and its staffing reflects that: 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 6% below its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 33.9%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The trouble is on the inspection side. Seventeen deficiencies are on record, eight of them at harm or jeopardy level and eight abuse-related, with nine fines totaling $63,236 and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. A recent June 2025 inspection means the picture is current. Strong daily care, but a documented history of serious safety problems.
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.
DFW Nursing & Rehab runs about 3.31 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends drop another 11% below its own weekdays. Staff turnover is unusually low at 17.4%, so the problem isn't churn, it's raw coverage. The inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 62 deficiencies, 13 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 16 abuse-related, plus six fines totaling $317,302. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a status reserved for the most persistently poor performers, and its last inspection was August 2025. For-profit, limited liability ownership.
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.
Avir At Arlington runs 114 beds under limited-liability, for-profit ownership, and the numbers worth your attention are on the staffing side. Nurse hours come to 3.36 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, meaning the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 66.7% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses cycle through quickly. The inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and one fine of $121,953. A recent inspection in February 2026 keeps that record current rather than stale.
Benbrook Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs on 2.81 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday level. When a facility leans that thin on staff, the numbers elsewhere tend to follow: 53 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus $41,143 in fines. Annual turnover of 62.8%, well above the 45.8% national average, means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The most recent inspection was September 11, 2025, so the picture is current, not dated.
