Our read on Buckner Westminster Place

Buckner Westminster Place runs a small 20-bed home in Longview, and its staffing is the standout: 5.28 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, with weekends dipping only slightly. Turnover sits at 30.8%, better than the typical nursing home. What pulls the record down is the inspection side, 15 deficiencies on file, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $29,716. The most recent inspection was June 2025. So you have a home that's well staffed and stable on paper, but with a history of serious survey findings. Worth asking about those directly.
