All 9 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Arlington,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Town Hall Estates Arlington is a 116-bed nonprofit home run by a church group, and its record is a study in mixed signals. The clinical quality measures look strong, but staffing sits at 3.84 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, and drops about 7% on weekends, with 46% annual turnover. The bigger concern is the inspection history: 31 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and two fines totaling $231,933, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. For a family weighing this one, ask hard questions about weekend coverage and how those harm-level findings were resolved.
Green Oaks runs 142 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover is 48.5% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single $83,850 fine; the last survey was in January 2025. The 5/5 quality measure star is genuinely strong, but staffing stars sit at 2/5 and health inspections at 3/5, worth asking how the good outcomes hold up when fewer nurses are on the floor.
Purehealth Transitional Care At Thr Arlington runs 54 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.16 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest card in its hand. Look at the rest, though: weekend staffing drops about 13% from weekday levels, annual turnover hits 62.1% against a national 45.8%, and the inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $118,148. The most recent inspection was May 2025. High staffing hours only go as far as the people staying long enough to deliver them.
Arbrook Plaza runs 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 15% below its own weekday staffing. That gap is what drives its 2-star staffing rating, even though its quality measure score sits higher at 4 stars. Turnover runs 48.5% against a national 45.8%, so caregivers cycle through faster than average. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was January 15, 2026. For-profit corporate ownership and thin weekend coverage mean you should ask specifically who's on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays.
Matlock Place runs on 2.99 nursing hours per resident day, about a quarter below the national average, and the weekend shift is even thinner than its weekdays. That staffing sits alongside a 54.6% annual turnover rate, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. The current record carries 47 deficiencies, five of them at the level where harm or immediate jeopardy was found, and five tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $26,006 are on file, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. The quality measure score sits mid-range, but the inspection and staffing numbers tell the more troubling story.
Interlochen runs lean on the floor, and the numbers show it. Nurses give residents about 3.36 hours of care a day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends drop another 14% below the home's own weekday pace, so the thinnest coverage lands right when families tend to visit. On top of that, nearly everyone on staff left in the past year: 95.9% turnover against a national figure under half that, which means the people caring for residents are constantly new to the building. Its record carries 31 deficiencies, 6 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 4 tied to abuse, and $54,137 in fines. An April 2025 inspection is recent, but the pattern behind it isn't reassuring.
Arlington Residence and Rehabilitation Center runs 118 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers tell you a lot before you even get to inspections. At 3.12 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 8 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 46 percent, roughly in line with the national 45.8. The inspection record is where it gets heavier: 57 deficiencies, including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $111,622. Its most recent inspection was February 2025.
Viridian Wellness & Rehabilitation runs 204 beds in Arlington under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to show up. Every direct-care position turned over in the past year, against a national average near 46%, which means the aides and nurses on any given shift are often new. The current record carries 101 deficiencies, 11 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus five CMS fines totaling $312,466 and placement in the federal Special Focus Facility program. The last inspection was September 16, 2025.
Avir At Arlington runs 114 beds under limited-liability, for-profit ownership, and the numbers worth your attention are on the staffing side. Nurse hours come to 3.36 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, meaning the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 66.7% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses cycle through quickly. The inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and one fine of $121,953. A recent inspection in February 2026 keeps that record current rather than stale.
