Our read on Apex Secure Care Brownfield

Apex Secure Care Brownfield runs on 2.27 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 41% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 55.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people who remain are stretched thin and constantly changing. The inspection record shows 39 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $27,738 in fines across two penalties. Its most recent inspection was April 14, 2026, and the health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 reflects what surveyors found. A 4-out-of-5 quality measure score does not offset a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating.
