Nursing homes across Kaufman County, Texas, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Ridgecrest runs 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and weekend staffing barely dips from weekday levels. That consistency matters more than the raw number. Turnover sits at 38.1%, better than the 45.8% national rate, though six abuse-related deficiencies on the record are worth asking about directly. The 31 total deficiencies include none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent, in July 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership means you'll want to ask how decisions get made locally. The staffing and quality numbers are the strongest part of this picture; the inspection history is where your questions should focus.
Windsor Rehabilitation and Healthcare runs 108 certified beds in Terrell under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 42.9%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which is a modest point in its favor. The inspection record shows 39 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, but the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5.
Mabank Nursing Center runs on thin staffing. At 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average, and weekends drop another 9% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The 46.7% turnover rate is roughly in line with the national figure, but combined with 33 deficiencies on record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, the picture is not comforting. Two fines total $31,234. A May 2026 inspection is recent, and the county hospital district that owns it isn't a for-profit chain, which may help explain the 3-star middle ground across inspections, quality, and staffing.
Avir At Kaufman runs about 3.07 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth under the national average, and weekends dip another 16% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: 59.5% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, and a staffing star rating of just 1 out of 5. The inspection record carries 41 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,021. A recent January 2026 inspection and a 4/5 quality measure score suggest some clinical care is tracked, but the for-profit limited liability ownership has not bought enough hands on the floor.
Sunflower Park Health Care runs 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 15 percent below its own weekday coverage. That thin staffing sits atop 100 percent annual turnover, every nurse replaced over a year, against a national rate near 46 percent. Inspectors cited 52 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with $190,538 in fines. The quality measure score looks strong, but it reflects charted care, not the hands available to deliver it. The most recent inspection was January 7, 2026.
Countryview has 51 deficiencies on its current record, six of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and eight tied to abuse. That's an unusual concentration of the worst categories, and the one-star inspection rating reflects it. Staffing sits at 3.13 hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average, with weekends running about 13% thinner than weekdays. The turnover number is the one that would worry me most: 94.4%, about double the national rate, meaning the aides who know your mother are mostly gone within a year. Five fines totaling just under $80,000 round out the record. It's a hospital-district home, inspected recently, in August 2025.
Terrell Healthcare Center runs 94 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.52 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 10% leaner than weekdays already are. Turnover sits at 50.8%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The deficiency record is harder to look past: 93 total, 11 of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, 6 tied to abuse. CMS has fined this home three times for $339,046 combined and placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of persistent problems. If you're considering it, ask directly what's changed since the April 2026 inspection.
Lakeside Health and Wellness runs 124 certified beds in Kemp under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd want you to see. Total nurse staffing sits at 2.66 hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends run thinner still. Annual turnover of 75.4% means most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago, compare that to the national rate of about 46%.
Then there's the inspection record: 59 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 10 tied to abuse, with five fines totaling $195,593. The most recent inspection was in January 2026.
The quality measure score is high, but strong numbers on paper don't fix a thin, constantly changing staff.
Kemp Care Center runs on 2.88 nurse hours per resident day, about a quarter below the national average, and weekends dip roughly 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage sits behind a 95.4% annual turnover rate, more than double the national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside are, statistically, mostly new. Inspectors have cited 41 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with $256,260 in fines on record. A 5/5 quality measure score and a recent July 2025 inspection don't offset a 1/5 staffing rating from CMS. For-profit corporate ownership; ask specifically how weekends and evenings are covered before you decide.
