Nursing homes across Harris County, Texas, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Avir At Orem runs lean on nursing staff, 2.97 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 11% thinner than weekdays. That gap shows up in the numbers: 61% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, and a staffing rating of 2 out of 5. The inspection record isn't clean either, with 21 deficiencies including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, and a $34,418 fine. The 4/5 health inspection rating and recent April 2025 survey suggest the home was in decent shape at its last look, and ownership changed within the past year, worth asking what that transition has meant for day-to-day care.
The numbers at West Houston Rehabilitation don't leave much room for interpretation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.26 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level, so the stretch when families often visit is when coverage is lightest. On the inspection side, the record shows 30 deficiencies, including 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling just over $205,000 and a survey as recent as January 2025. Staff turnover, at 43.1%, is actually a touch better than the national rate, which suggests the problems here aren't mainly about keeping people, they're about how the place is run.
Sylan Shores runs on 3.00 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below what it manages during the week. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a 69.5% annual turnover rate against a national 45.8%, and 16 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. The last inspection was July 2025, so the findings are recent rather than stale. Government hospital-district ownership doesn't change what the staffing star says. If you're weighing this one, ask how they cover weekends and what's changed since that inspection.
Eagle Crest Rapid Recovery runs 125 beds in Houston under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd flag. At 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 18% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 75.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are new and likely to leave. The inspection record backs that up: 31 deficiencies, 8 at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and four fines totaling $54,252, with the last inspection in September 2025.
Paradigm At Westbury runs 148 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 12% under the national average, weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 61.5% against a national 45.8%, that's a lot of churn on top of thin coverage. The inspection record backs it up: 42 deficiencies, 7 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus four fines totaling $136,414. A recent May 2026 inspection means the record is current, and what it shows is a home where quality scores look decent but the people doing the daily work keep leaving.
Afton Oaks is a 169-bed for-profit home in Houston that CMS has placed in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of serious problems. The numbers back that up: 37 deficiencies on the current record, 16 of them at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $115,512. Nurse staffing runs about 7% below the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below the home's own weekday levels, when residents still need care. Its last inspection was in April 2025. If you're considering this one, ask directly what's changed since CMS flagged it.
The numbers out of Fallbrook Rehabilitation and Care Center are hard to get past. With 202 beds and government hospital district ownership, it runs 3.33 nursing hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekdays, and nearly 60% of staff turn over each year. A 1/5 staffing rating and 1/5 health inspection rating sit alongside 56 deficiencies, 11 of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus $83,678 in fines and a spot in CMS's Special Focus Facility program. The 3/5 quality measure score doesn't offset what inspectors and payroll records show. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the record is current.
Avir At Arden Wood runs 174 certified beds in Houston under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.05 hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average, with weekends about 12% thinner than its own weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, 12 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 2 abuse-related, and $130,388 in fines across two events, with the most recent inspection dated May 2026. The one clear strength is retention, where 25.6% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. Whether that offsets the survey history is the question a family has to weigh.
Misty Willow runs 3.30 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families are most likely to visit. The inspection record is the harder problem: 30 deficiencies, 8 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 3 tied to abuse, and $79,412 in fines across three penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care, and its health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5. Quality measures score well, but that's a narrow slice of the picture.
Deerbrook runs on about 3.35 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 11 percent below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 35 deficiencies, six serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, and $196,911 in fines. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. Staff turnover sits at 60.7 percent against a 45.8 percent national average, so the people providing care keep changing. The 4/5 quality measure score reflects reported clinical data; the 1/5 inspection and staffing ratings reflect what surveyors actually found.
Terra Bella runs about 3.36 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and it leans thinner on weekends than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 61.6 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. On inspections, CMS has cited 44 deficiencies, including 12 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $181,644 and a spot in the Special Focus Facility program, which CMS reserves for homes with a persistent record of serious problems. The most recent inspection was March 26, 2026.
Oakmont Healthcare And Rehabilitation Of Humble runs 134 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are about people, not beds. Nurse staffing sits at 3.27 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover is 91.4%, about double the national rate. That churn matters because it's hard to deliver consistent care when the staff keeps leaving. The inspection record backs that up: 31 deficiencies, 9 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three fines totaling $418,615. Quality measures score well, but quality scores rest on staffing that clearly isn't stable right now.
Houston Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on 3.03 nurse hours per resident per day, about 22% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 59.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people doing the bedside work change often, and a 1-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating reflects that reality. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $105,536 and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The 4-of-5 quality measure score stands out, but it rests on a staffing and inspection foundation that is thin.
Fall Creek runs on 3.25 nursing hours per resident day, about 16 percent under the national average, with weekends dropping roughly 14 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a 65.6 percent annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, and a one-star CMS staffing rating. Inspectors have cited 21 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $48,555. The last inspection was in May 2025. For a 126-bed for-profit home, the pattern across staffing, turnover, and enforcement history is worth weighing carefully before you decide.
Paradigm At Woodwind Lakes runs 3.21 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 58.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that thin coverage are also leaving fast. The inspection record shows 44 deficiencies, 12 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, with two CMS fines totaling $89,541. This for-profit LLC is in the Special Focus Facility program, meaning federal regulators watch it more closely than most. The most recent inspection was January 9, 2026.
Focused Care At Pasadena runs on 2.95 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and $131,012 in fines. Staff turnover sits at 76.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your family member this year likely won't be there next year. The corporation that owns it has drawn a 1-star inspection rating and a 1-star staffing rating, with the most recent survey dated February 2026.
Woodway Nursing & Rehab in Houston runs on thinner staffing than most homes, with weekend coverage dropping further below its own weekday levels. The bigger red flag is turnover: 85.3% of nursing staff leaving annually, nearly double the national rate.
That churn shows up in the inspection record, 60 deficiencies, 18 serious enough to endanger residents, three tied to abuse, and four fines totaling more than $303,000. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the poorest performers. Inspectors were last on site in June 2025. For-profit, limited-liability ownership. Families considering this home should ask hard questions about who's actually on the floor nights and weekends.
