Our read on Mesa Hills Post Acute

Mesa Hills Post Acute runs 166 beds in Brownsville under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% below the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are also the least supervised. The inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Staff turnover, at 44.7%, is roughly in line with the national figure of 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier here, the numbers around it are. The most recent inspection was May 6, 2025, and CMS has assessed one fine totaling $5,734.
