Our read on William R Courtney Texas State Veterans Home
The state veterans home in Temple is a 160-bed for-profit operation, and its inspection record is the first thing to look at: 32 deficiencies on the current record, seven of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $53,476 followed. Staffing is the other concern, CMS rates it at the bottom of its scale, meaning the hours of direct care per resident fall well below what most Texas homes provide, even though the home's own quality measures score well. The last full inspection was March 2025, so the findings are recent. Ownership is a limited liability company. Families with a choice should ask hard questions here.
