Nursing homes across Angelina County, Texas, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Pinecrest runs a nonprofit home with 51 beds in Lufkin, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.72 nurse hours per resident day, about 22% above the national average, which is a real cushion when someone needs help at 2 a.m. Weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. Turnover sits at 51.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses cycle through faster than average even with the generous hours. The current record shows 11 deficiencies, none at harm level and none abuse-related; the last inspection was June 2025, so the findings are recent, not stale.
Parkwood In The Pines runs on thin staffing: 3.14 nurse hours per resident day, about 19% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday levels. That gap shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at 1 out of 5 stars, while annual turnover of 54.6% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $21,473. Quality measures score 5 stars, but a hospital-district home with this much turnover and this few hands is one to visit unannounced.
Diboll Nursing and Rehab runs 82 beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers show a staffing problem more than a quality one. Nurses give 2.94 hours per resident per day, about a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8 percent below what the home already provides on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 63.3 percent against a national 45.8, so a lot of the people providing that care are still learning the building.
The health inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse, and the last inspection was recent. Clinical quality measures rate well; staffing does not.
Larkspur runs 120 beds in Lufkin under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a split story. The clinical side looks steady, four out of five stars on health inspections and quality measures, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. But staffing sits at 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover hits 54%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the record shows 26 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus $30,928 in fines. Strong inspection results and thin, churning staffing don't cancel each other out. Ask how weekends and evenings are actually covered.
Southland Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 150 certified beds in Lufkin under corporate, for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble shows. At 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86, weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 51.6% against a national 45.8%. That thin, churning coverage lines up with a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. The record carries 22 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $188,884. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, but good marks on paper don't offset hands-on care that runs consistently short.
Huntington Health Care & Rehabilitation Center runs 112 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger number is turnover: 94.8% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the staff you meet this year likely won't be there next year. The current record shows 40 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2025. Federal stars land at 3 for health inspections, 2 for staffing, and 1 for quality measures.
Kennedy Health & Rehab has been flagged for CMS's Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent record of serious problems. The inspection history backs that up: 49 deficiencies on the current record, including 10 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse. Federal fines total $268,507 across four penalties.
Staffing sits at one star, and so do the health inspection and quality measure ratings, all three below what you'd want to see. This is a 145-bed for-profit home owned by an individual, most recently inspected in June 2025. If you're considering it for someone you love, the pattern here is consistent and serious, not a one-time slip.
Castle Pines runs 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the federal ratings: one star for staffing, two for quality measures, three on health inspections. The current record carries 19 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, along with three fines totaling $53,155. The last inspection was May 2025, so the picture is recent. Corporate-owned and certified for 120 beds, this is a home where the numbers point to a persistent staffing gap rather than a one-time slip.
