The Hallmark runs about 5.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 38% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 14% below its own weekday level, a modest drop by nursing home standards. Staff turnover sits at 51.3%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents do change fairly often. Its inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in January 2025; both its inspection and quality measure ratings come in at 5 out of 5. For a 32-bed nonprofit home, the numbers describe steady care with a staffing churn worth asking about directly.

Richard A. Anderson, the state veterans home in Houston, runs nurse staffing at 4.08 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and its 33.3% turnover is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekend coverage does dip roughly 11% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The record shows 14 deficiencies, one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single $14,730 fine; the most recent inspection was September 2025. State-run ownership and strong quality and staffing ratings sit alongside that deficiency history, which is what pulls the overall picture down despite the numbers that look good on paper.

Seven Acres runs a nonprofit shop in Houston with 144 certified beds, and the staffing picture is genuinely solid: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 8% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 29.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because steady aides know the residents. What pulls the record down is the inspection side, 10 deficiencies on file, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $25,454 fine. No abuse citations, and the last inspection was recent (May 2025), so the picture is current rather than stale. Strong daily care, but the survey history is where a family should ask questions.

Treemont Health Care Center runs 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, though weekend staffing dips roughly 9% below its own weekday level. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related finding and a survey dated September 2024. State inspectors gave it 4 out of 5 stars, and quality measures scored 5 out of 5, but the staffing star rating sits at just 2 out of 5 under CMS's own formula despite that above-average raw number. The limited liability for-profit owner and that staffing split are worth asking about directly before you decide.

St. James House of Baytown runs 105 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection score, with the most recent survey completed in August 2025. The catch is what that record contains: 10 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $14,901. Staffing tells a similar story. Total nurse hours sit right at the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 10% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover runs slightly above the national rate. Quality measures score well; direct care staffing does not. Worth asking about weekend shifts and staff retention before you decide.

Continuing Care at Eagles Trace is a small nonprofit home in west Houston with 44 beds, and its staffing is genuinely above average, 5.08 nurse hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86. Weekends run about 14 percent thinner than weekdays, though, and turnover sits at 53.3 percent, higher than the 45.8 percent national rate, so that strong average masks real churn. Nine deficiencies are on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with $22,486 in fines across two penalties. Inspections are recent, from August 2024, and there's nothing abuse-related. The staffing and inspection stars look good; the harm-level findings and turnover are what pull the overall picture down.

Avir At Pasadena runs lean on nursing hours, 3.08 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families visit. Turnover is genuinely better than average at 25.7%, meaning the caregivers who are there tend to stay. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 13 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, one tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $30,361. The current owner took over within the last year, so this record reflects a mix of old and new management. Worth asking which deficiencies were corrected and when.

Holly Hall runs a for-profit operation under a limited liability company with 62 certified beds in Houston. The staffing numbers look solid on paper, 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, but that average hides a drop on weekends, and nearly three in five employees left over the past year, which is higher than the typical nursing home. State inspectors visited in October 2025 and logged 24 deficiencies, though none involved actual harm or abuse, so the problems are mostly procedural rather than dangerous. The quality and staffing ratings both land at 4 out of 5, while inspections sit at 3, which is roughly what a B grade reflects here.

Park Manor of Cyfair runs lean on direct care. At 3.10 nurse hours per resident day it sits about a fifth under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly another 14% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones when families tend to visit. Turnover, at 44.8%, is essentially the national rate. What pulls this Houston home up is its record: a five-star health inspection rating, no deficiencies flagged at harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, and an inspection as recent as August 2025. The tradeoff is clear, strong oversight and quality marks, lighter day-to-day staffing.

Baywood Crossing runs 3.00 nurse hours per resident per day, about 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday level. That low staffing shows in the one-star staffing rating, though turnover at 43.3% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The record is otherwise clean: a recent May 2025 inspection, 16 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus four stars on health inspections and five on quality measures. If you're weighing this one, the question is whether the floor coverage on weekends works for your family member's needs.

Sterling Oaks runs on a thinner nursing floor than most homes its size, about 3.11 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday pace. That gap is the main thing pulling its staffing rating down to 2 out of 5. Where it holds up better: turnover sits at 39.1% against a national 45.8%, and its inspection record shows 18 deficiencies with none at the harm level and none tied to abuse. A recent May 2026 inspection and 4 out of 5 stars on both health inspections and quality measures round it out. If your family member needs heavy day-to-day hands-on care, ask specifically how weekend coverage gets filled.

Lawrence Street Health Care Center runs 150 certified beds in Tomball under nonprofit ownership, and its inspection record looks solid on paper: a four-out-of-five health inspection rating, with the most recent survey completed in October 2025. The trouble sits in the workforce numbers. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.65 hours per resident per day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 63.8% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses your family member sees may keep changing. Twelve deficiencies are on record, one serious enough to involve harm, plus a single fine of $12,740.

Focused Care At Westwood runs on thin nursing coverage: 3.08 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at the lowest tier, even as the quality measure score lands at the top. Turnover is 38.9%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't churn so much as how few hours each resident gets. Inspections in March 2025 turned up 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to cause harm, though none tied to abuse. The for-profit partnership has real strengths here, consistent staff and strong clinical measures, alongside a staffing level worth asking about directly.

Caraday of Houston runs 150 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a recent March 2025 survey and 15 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level. The staffing side tells a different story. At 3.79 total nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 5% below its own weekday coverage, which is where gaps tend to show up. One abuse-related deficiency and three fines totaling $53,518 round out the record. Strong surveys, thinner staffing, that tension is what separates the 5-star inspection rating from the 2-star staffing rating.

West Oaks runs lean on nursing hours, 3.37 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so a Saturday or Sunday shift may feel thinner than a Tuesday. What works in its favor is stability: turnover sits at 24.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Its inspection record is current as of January 2025, with 11 deficiencies and none tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse. Corporate-owned and 136 beds; a decent record, but ask about weekend coverage.

Park Manor Of South Belt runs 3.22 nursing hours per resident day, about 17 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15 percent below its own weekday coverage. That thin staffing is the main reason its staffing rating sits at 2 out of 5 even though inspections and quality measures both come in at 4 out of 5. Turnover is 45.4 percent, basically level with the national figure. The current record shows 9 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. A June 2025 inspection means the picture is recent. For-profit limited liability ownership. Families should ask how weekend coverage is handled on the specific unit their relative would live on.

Clarewood House runs on a fraction of the nursing hours you'd expect. Its 0.41 hours per resident day sits far under the national average of 3.86, roughly a tenth of it, and that thin coverage is why the staffing rating lands at the bottom. Weekend staffing actually runs higher than its own weekday level, which is unusual and suggests the weekday numbers are the real problem. Turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is clean where it counts: five deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and the most recent look was December 2025. Quality measures score well. The gap between how this place documents care and how much staff it actually has is the thing to press on.

Copperfield Healthcare and Rehabilitation runs 124 certified beds in Houston under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the first thing to look at: 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16% under the national average. Weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 55% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who remain are stretched thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record backs that up: 28 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, and a two-star health inspection rating despite strong quality measure scores. One fine of $23,029 is on file, with the last inspection dated September 2025. The low staffing rating tells you where the risk sits.

Sharpville Residence runs lean on nursing hours, 3.07 per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national figure, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, which is when gaps tend to show up. Turnover works in its favor: 35.9% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Its inspection record backs that up, with 12 deficiencies on file, none involving harm or abuse, and one fine of $8,431. The hospital district ownership and a clean June 2024 inspection suggest steady management. Go in asking how the weekend floor actually gets covered.

Paradigm At Faith Memorial runs about 2.82 nurse staffing hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 13% below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 52.1%, above the 45.8% national figure, and the current record carries 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Two fines total $19,481. The quality measure rating of 5/5 stands out against a 1/5 staffing rating, which is worth asking about, strong clinical scores can reflect documentation practices as much as bedside care. The most recent inspection was April 23, 2026. For-profit, limited liability ownership out of Pasadena.
