How Medicaid-certified homes in Fort Worth, TX compare
This group set against every nursing home in Fort Worth, TX, from the current CMS release.
Willow Ridge runs 265 beds in Fort Worth under a for-profit LLC, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 3.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, with weekends dipping about 13% below its own weekday coverage. The inspection record backs that up, 39 deficiencies in total, 14 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, plus seven fines adding to $321,244. Quality measures score well, but the health inspection and staffing ratings both sit at the bottom of the federal scale, and the most recent survey was July 2025.
Fort Worth Transitional Care Center runs on 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth less than the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest staffing lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 68.8% against a 45.8% national figure, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are relatively new to the building. The inspection record is the harder problem: 49 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus $64,771 in fines, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. It's a hospital-district facility, and the quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers don't.
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.
The nurse staffing numbers at Downtown Health and Rehabilitation Center run about 16% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 13% below the home's own weekday level. That matters because more than nine in ten caregivers left over the past year, a 93.6% turnover rate against a national figure near 46%. The current inspection record carries 50 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and 11 tied to abuse; fines total $36,418. Fort Worth's hospital district operates the 161-bed home, and its last inspection was March 12, 2026. Low staffing stars and repeated turnover rarely sit apart from inspection trouble.
Estates Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 141 beds in Fort Worth under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are its inspection record and its staffing. Nurses provide about 3.08 hours of care per resident per day, roughly 20% below the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 86.7%, nearly double the national rate of 45.8%.
That instability shows up in the record: 53 deficiencies, 11 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy to residents, and 8 tied to abuse. Eight fines total $159,833. One bright spot is the quality measure rating at 4/5, but with a 1/5 inspection rating and a 1/5 staffing rating, families should ask hard questions before choosing this home.
Nurse staffing at Marine Creek works out to 3.47 hours per resident per day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 18 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 94.1 percent a year against a national average near 46 percent, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building and still learning it. The current inspection record carries 44 deficiencies, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $23,621 are on file, and the most recent inspection was September 18, 2025.
