Nursing homes across Galveston County, Texas, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Mrc The Crossings runs a tight ship on nearly every measure that matters. The nonprofit home puts 4.35 nursing hours behind each resident daily, roughly 13% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 39.1% sits well under the typical 45.8%, a signal that caregivers tend to stay. One deficiency on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and a December 2024 inspection round out the picture. The one soft spot: weekend staffing dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so ask how coverage looks on Saturdays and Sundays. Otherwise, the numbers here are about as clean as they come.
Baywind Village runs a strong inspection record, a 5-star health inspection rating with the most recent survey in May 2025, and its 4.80 nurse hours per resident day sit about 24 percent above the national average, which matters when you're comparing rehab options. But two things pull against that: staff turnover at 63.3 percent is well above the 45.8 percent national figure, and weekend coverage drops roughly 15 percent below weekday levels, so the caregiver on Saturday may be newer than the one on Tuesday. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. For-profit individual ownership rounds out the picture.
The Meridian runs 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. Weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 52.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your family member may change often. Inspections from October 2024 produced 14 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is the weak spot, Texas averages aren't kind on this measure, but that's still low.
The Phoenix Post-Acute runs 134 certified beds in Texas City under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits about 5% under the national average at 3.65 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the quietest shifts are the thinnest. Turnover is the brighter spot at 34.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some continuity in who's actually at the bedside. The concern is the record itself: 9 deficiencies, 4 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two fines totaling $90,049. Its last inspection was May 2026. Families should ask specifically about those harm-level findings and how weekend coverage gets filled.
The Shoal runs 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 10% below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 52.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people around your family member keep changing. Its record shows 11 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, and the last inspection was April 25, 2025. The quality measures look strong, but those come from resident assessments the home reports, while the staffing and inspection ratings, 2 out of 5 each, come from independent review. That gap is worth asking about directly.
Harbor Point Skilled Nursing runs 129 certified beds in Texas City under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely decent, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection star, ten deficiencies on file with none at the harm or jeopardy level, and a survey as recent as April 2026. The problem sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing comes to 3.15 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends drop another 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 59.3% against a 45.8% national rate means the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. One abuse-related deficiency also appears on the record.
Friendship Haven runs about 3.20 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday staffing. Employee turnover sits at 50.4%, above the 45.8% national figure. Texas records show 17 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, plus an $8,018 fine; the last inspection was November 2024. The health inspection rating is strong at 4 out of 5, but that sits alongside a 2 out of 5 staffing rating. For a 150-bed for-profit home, the pattern is consistent: care standards look good on paper while the day-to-day staffing that delivers them runs thin.
The Lakes at Texas City runs on 2.86 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage sits alongside a 62% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% norm, so the aides and nurses in the building are often new to the job. Inspectors have logged 29 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in December 2025 and $8,410 in fines. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, but it's built on top of staffing that CMS itself rates at the bottom.
Seabreeze runs about 2.99 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops further, about 7% under its own weekday level. That thin margin shows up in the numbers: 41 deficiencies on the current record, eight of them at the harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, plus $254,067 in fines across three penalties. Staff turnover sits at 51%, above the national 45.8%, on a for-profit LLC license. The most recent inspection was January 8, 2026. Federal data puts health inspection and staffing at one star each, with quality measures at three.
The Heights of League City runs on thin nursing coverage: 3.38 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday numbers. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and when problems tend to surface. Staff turnover sits at 69.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are frequently new to the building. The inspection record backs this up: 28 deficiencies, nine at harm or jeopardy level, six fines totaling $144,668. A hospital district owns it, which might suggest stability, but the numbers here tell a different story.
Bayou Pines Care Center runs 120 certified beds in La Marque, and the staffing numbers are where a family should focus first. At 3.03 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 22 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 16 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover tells a similar story: 68.1 percent of nursing staff leaving annually, against a national norm near 46 percent, which matters because unfamiliar caregivers mean less continuity for residents who need consistent attention. The current record carries 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $14,069 fine. Its last inspection was August 2025. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company.
If you're considering Cascades At Galveston for someone you love, the numbers here are hard to get past. The home runs 2.74 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop about 23% below its own weekday staffing. Annual turnover sits at 70.7% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents are cycling out fast.
The inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, nine at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with four fines totaling $241,516. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. The last inspection was May 2025.
