The Plaza At Richardson

Richardson, TX · Dallas County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
95%
Serious cites

The Plaza At Richardson runs on 3.02 nurse hours per resident per day, about a fifth below the national average, which is thin enough that the 1-out-of-5 staffing rating is no surprise. Turnover tells the bigger story: 95.3% of nursing staff left over the past year, roughly double the national rate, so the people caring for your relative are likely new to the building and still learning it. The 39 deficiencies on record include two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm, and the most recent inspection was in June 2025. Weekend coverage also dips below its own weekday level.

The Lennwood Nursing And Rehabilitation runs 124 certified beds in Dallas under county government ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 2.90 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 17% beneath its own weekday level. Turnover tells a similar story: 68.6% annually, against 45.8% nationally, which means the aides and nurses your relative sees may not be there in six months. The current record shows 24 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $29,969. The last inspection was August 29, 2024.

If you're weighing Lancaster Nursing & Rehabilitation for someone you love, the federal numbers are worth sitting with. Nurse staffing runs about 3.30 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends dip another 14% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Staff turnover sits near 93%, more than double the national rate, meaning the aide who knows your mother this month may be gone the next. The inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, three involving actual harm or jeopardy and three tied to abuse, with $56,554 in fines and a survey as recent as October 2024. For-profit, LLC-owned, 120 beds. The pattern here is thin coverage and heavy churn, and that's what drives the low marks.
