Brownwood Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 128 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go. At 2.79 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 28% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 19% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts land exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 96.9% means nearly the entire nursing staff turns over in a year, against a national rate of 45.8%, which is hard on continuity of care. The health inspection record is genuinely solid: 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection is recent.
Liberty Health Care Center runs on thin nursing coverage, 3.76 hours per resident day, just under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters most when families visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 69.7%, well above the 45.8% national average, so the people caring for residents change often. Inspectors cited 20 deficiencies on the current record, five at the harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with two fines totaling $225,774. The hospital district owns it, and the last inspection was August 2025. Ask about weekend coverage and how they retain aides.
Greenbrier's inspection record looks strong on paper, a five-star health inspection rating and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, out of 12 total. The trouble sits with staffing. At 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, this home runs about 18 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 16 percent below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters more when you consider turnover: 97.9 percent of staff leave within a year, against a national rate of 45.8, which means the people showing up are often new to the building. One abuse-related deficiency also appears on the current record. Inspections can miss what thin, constantly changing coverage hides.
Park Place Care Center runs 116 certified beds in Georgetown under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.06 nurse hours per resident day it sits about 21% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 86.8% against a national 45.8%, that's a new face on the floor almost every year. Its inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, nine at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with five fines totaling $142,439 and CMS placement in the Special Focus Facility program. The quality measure score looks good on paper, but staffing and inspection results are what a family actually lives with.
Northgate Plaza runs thin on nursing staff, 3.19 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 18% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and problems surface. The 66.1% annual turnover means most of the people caring for your relative are new, still learning the building, or already halfway out the door.
Behind the staffing numbers sits a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 65 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Two fines total $55,697. Ownership is a for-profit corporation, and the most recent inspection was in December 2024.
Whitney Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on a government-hospital-district license with 88 certified beds, and nurse staffing sits at 2.88 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when oversight is lightest. The current inspection record carries 15 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse; one fine totaling $45,435 has been levied. The most recent inspection was December 4, 2025. With a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 2-out-of-5 quality measure rating, the numbers point to a home where care capacity is stretched and problems have recurred.
Kenedy Health & Rehabilitation runs on 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level. That thin staffing shows up in the federal star ratings, where both staffing and quality measures sit at 1 out of 5, even though the inspection history earned 4 out of 5. The record isn't clean: 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single $8,173 fine, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. No abuse citations appear. A corporation owns the 60-bed home. Families weighing this one should ask how the low weekday staffing and thinner weekend shifts get covered on nights and weekends.
Eagle Crest Rapid Recovery runs 125 beds in Houston under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd flag. At 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 18% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 75.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are new and likely to leave. The inspection record backs that up: 31 deficiencies, 8 at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and four fines totaling $54,252, with the last inspection in September 2025.
Five Points Nursing & Rehabilitation Of College St runs 130 certified beds in College Station under corporate for-profit ownership, and the nurse staffing number is the first thing to know: 2.69 hours per resident day, roughly 30 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit.
The inspection record carries 29 deficiencies, six of them at harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related finding and four fines totaling $49,016. The most recent inspection was April 23, 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. Low staffing and a heavy deficiency load tend to reinforce each other; here both are documented.
Ennis Care Center runs on thin staffing: 3.23 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13% below what the home itself manages Monday through Friday. That shortfall shows up in turnover too, 58.2% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national rate, which means caregivers are constantly new to residents who need consistency. The inspection record backs this up: 21 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and $187,220 in fines across three penalties. Corporate ownership is for-profit. The most recent inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current, not stale, and it's a hard one.
Heritage at Longview runs 140 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.81 hours per resident each day, roughly 27 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 21 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, including two at the level where harm or jeopardy occurred, one tied to abuse, and $81,752 in fines across two penalties. Its last inspection was June 5, 2024, so that record is recent. Staffing carries the lowest federal mark at 1 out of 5 stars, while inspections and quality measures each land at 3. The gap between those quality scores and the day-to-day staffing numbers is the thing worth asking about directly.
Heritage at Turner Park runs 146 beds in Grand Prairie under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are about the people doing the work. Nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 10 percent below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hitting 94.1 percent against a national rate near 46 percent. That churn means aides and nurses are constantly being replaced. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $31,873. The most recent inspection was July 31, 2025, so the record is current.
Paradigm At First Colony runs about 3.36 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 14% below its own weekday levels. That thin margin shows up in the workforce itself: 67% of staff turned over in a year, against a national rate near 46%. The inspection record is harder to explain away, 41 deficiencies, eight serious enough to put residents in harm's way, four tied to abuse, and three fines reaching $211,113. A 150-bed for-profit LLC in Missouri City, recently inspected in January 2026. Whatever the quality measures suggest, the staffing and survey history carry more weight when you're choosing care for someone you love.
Five Points At Lake Highlands runs 280 certified beds in Dallas under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 14% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is 64% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record is heavier still: 53 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $58,149 in fines across five penalties. The most recent inspection was March 31, 2026, so the picture is current, not stale.
Sabine Heights runs on thin staffing: 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 63.1% against a 45.8% national figure, meaning most of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. The current inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, including 10 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $287,581. This is a 150-bed for-profit corporate home whose last inspection was January 7, 2026, and whose CMS staffing and health inspection ratings both sit at one star out of five.
Pine Tree Lodge runs on 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 93.8%, more than double the national figure, which means the aide who knows your mother's routine this month may be gone the next. The current record carries 43 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to endanger residents, plus $244,330 in fines. The hospital district that owns it isn't chasing profit, but that hasn't translated into stable hands-on care.
North Park runs 140 certified beds in McKinney under corporate ownership, and its most recent inspection in June 2025 found 13 deficiencies, none of them causing harm or tied to abuse, which matters. But look at the workforce: 3.05 nursing hours per resident per day, about a fifth below the national average, with weekends even thinner. Turnover sits at 95.6%, more than double the national rate, meaning the staff caring for residents turns over almost completely each year. The 5-star health inspection rating reflects that clean survey, but a 1-star quality measure score and 1-star staffing suggest the day-to-day care is stretched. Families should ask directly how the home keeps consistent caregivers on weekends and evenings.
Wharton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 14% below its own weekday level. That thin margin shows up in the numbers: 18 deficiencies on the current record, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, one tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $62,525. Staff turnover sits at 65.3% against a national 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses who know your mother's routines are leaving faster than replacements learn them. The hospital district ownership doesn't change what the staffing data says. The last inspection was May 28, 2026.
Advanced Rehabilitation and Healthcare of Athens carries 120 certified beds and is run by a hospital district, which you might expect to mean steadier oversight. The numbers say otherwise. Nurse staffing sits at 3.19 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover hits 58% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level and seven abuse-related, with two fines totaling $210,588, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program. Its last inspection was March 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections do not.
Paradigm At Westbury runs 148 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 12% under the national average, weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 61.5% against a national 45.8%, that's a lot of churn on top of thin coverage. The inspection record backs it up: 42 deficiencies, 7 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus four fines totaling $136,414. A recent May 2026 inspection means the record is current, and what it shows is a home where quality scores look decent but the people doing the daily work keep leaving.
