All 5 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Carrollton,
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.
The Madison On Marsh runs a four-star health inspection record and top marks on quality measures, which tells you the clinical care basics are being handled. The staffing side is a different story. At 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average, and weekends run thinner still. Turnover at 46.8% is slightly worse than the typical U.S. nursing home, so the faces around your family member may change often. The current inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. That combination, solid inspections but thin, churning staff, is worth asking about directly before you decide.
Mustang Park Therapy and Living Center runs 120 certified beds in Carrollton under corporate, for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.11 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 19% below, and weekends dip another 15% under the home's own weekday numbers, which is usually when families notice. The inspection record is the harder problem: 49 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $18,275. A quality measure score of 4 out of 5 stands out against a 1 out of 5 staffing rating, and the last inspection was April 2026. When survey results and staffing both run thin, the quality numbers rarely tell the whole story.
Carrollton Health and Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.12 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 19 percent under the national average, and weekend staffing drops another 18 percent below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage helps explain the two-out-of-five rating on CMS's staffing measure. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, including two at the level where harm or jeopardy occurred and three tied to abuse, along with two fines totaling $19,185. Texas surveyors last visited in May 2025. This is a 120-bed for-profit corporate home where the daily aide and nurse presence is the real story.
Brookhaven runs on thin staffing: 3.15 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 9% leaner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 75.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 48 deficiencies, including four at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $24,739 and a survey as recent as July 2025. That combination of low staffing, high turnover, and repeat serious findings is what drives the low marks across all three CMS categories.
Heritage Gardens runs on thin staffing: 3.15 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday levels. That's a real gap when a resident needs help on a Saturday. Annual turnover sits at 59.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses in the building keep changing. The current inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with a $38,840 fine and the most recent inspection in November 2024. The quality measure score looks strong, but that's built from chart data, not from how the place is actually staffed day to day.
