Nursing homes across Nueces County, Texas, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Brookdale Trinity Towers sits in Corpus Christi with 75 certified beds and a for-profit LLC owner. The staffing numbers are the bright spot: 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average, and weekends run roughly 9% lighter than weekdays, a dip, but not a collapse. Turnover lands at 46.8%, right around the national figure of 45.8%, so retention isn't the problem here. What pulls the record down is the inspection history: 21 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $16,449 fine. The most recent inspection was April 30, 2026, so the picture is current. Strong daily care, a rougher paper trail.
Mirador is a 41-bed nonprofit in Corpus Christi, and its nurse staffing runs about 4.72 hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips around 15% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 37.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home earned 4 out of 5 stars on all three CMS measures. What pulls the record down is the inspection history: 18 deficiencies on file, 3 at the harm or jeopardy level, 1 abuse-related, and 2 fines totaling $22,922.
Avir At Corpus Christi runs on 3.01 nurse hours per resident per day, about 22% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 11% below its own weekday level. That thin staffing shows up in its 2/5 staffing rating, and the inspection record carries 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Turnover is 36.5%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the 5/5 quality measure rating suggests clinical metrics look strong. But with a for-profit LLC structure, a recent September 2025 inspection, and a $14,069 fine on record, the numbers point to a home where the care numbers and the people delivering them don't quite match up.
Windsor Calallen runs lean on nursing hours, 3.00 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the gap families notice most may show up on Saturdays and Sundays. The trade-off is stability: turnover sits at 30.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters when you're counting on familiar faces. Its inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, one tied to abuse and none at the harm level, with a single $4,823 fine. Quality measures score well; staffing does not. This is a government hospital-district home that was inspected in May 2025.
Windsor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of Corpus Christi runs lean on the floor. At 2.87 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 26 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly another 10 percent below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The record itself is steadier: 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $12,237 from an inspection dated May 2026. Staff turnover of 34.9 percent actually beats the national 45.8 percent, which matters for consistency of care. This for-profit LLC posts strong marks on health inspections and quality measures, but the staffing number is the one to weigh.
Avir At River Ridge runs on 3.15 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 18% below the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 15% below its own weekday levels. That thin staffing shows up in turnover: 60.9% of nurses left over the past year, against a national average of 45.8%. The inspection record is the harder problem, 29 deficiencies, three serious enough to threaten resident harm, one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $22,932. Its last inspection was in January 2026. Quality measures score well, but that's largely self-reported data, while staffing and inspections are where the trouble sits. For-profit, limited liability ownership rounds out the picture.
Robstown Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on 2.71 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 30% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage lines up with a one-star CMS staffing rating, and more than half the nursing staff turned over in a year, 53.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people at the bedside keep changing. The record shows 17 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus a $12,055 fine. It's a hospital-district home with 94 beds, last inspected January 6, 2026; its quality measures score well, but quality scores and daily staffing aren't the same thing.
Wooldridge Place runs 120 certified beds in Corpus Christi, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below what the home manages Monday through Friday, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover of 33.9% actually beats the national 45.8%, so the people there tend to stay. What pulls the record down is inspection history: 32 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and $90,880 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was February 2026.
Alameda Oaks runs 146 beds in Corpus Christi under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, with weekends dropping roughly 15% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in a 64.6% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, and a two-out-of-five CMS staffing rating. Inspectors last visited in August 2025 and found 34 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $14,901 fine. Quality measures score well, but consistent staffing is the harder problem here.
Windsor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of Morga runs 176 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 2.91 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 25% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is 45.5%, essentially the national rate, so that's not the outlier here. The inspection record is heavier: 26 deficiencies, 7 at harm or jeopardy level, 5 tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $32,353. The most recent inspection was July 8, 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are where the concerns sit.
San Rafael runs on 3.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the record: 59 deficiencies, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $80,132. Turnover at 38.2% is actually better than the 45.8% national average, and the hospital district ownership means public accountability rather than a private operator. But a one-star inspection rating and a March 2025 inspection leave little room to argue the care is well-supervised. If you're considering this one, ask specifically how weekends are covered and how abuse allegations get handled.
Corpus Christi Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on 3.00 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level. That thin margin matters because turnover sits at 59.8% against a national 45.8%, close to six in ten staff leaving in a year, which makes consistent care hard to hold onto. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one fine of $13,397 and a survey dated June 2025. Nonprofit ownership hasn't translated into stronger staffing here.
Cimarron Place runs on thin staffing. At 3.19 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 17% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 65.6% against a 45.8% national average means aides and nurses cycle through quickly, which matters for anyone who needs consistent hands-on care. The inspection history is mixed: a recent June 2025 survey and a four-star health inspection rating, but 19 deficiencies on record including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $19,143. Limited liability ownership, 120 beds. Worth asking about weekend coverage and how long direct-care staff typically stay.
The Palms runs 204 beds in Corpus Christi under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.93 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 18 percent lighter than the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover of 51.2 percent means the aides and nurses showing up are often new to the building.
The inspection record is the heavier concern: 60 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and 11 tied to abuse. Four fines total $79,987. Federal quality measures land at 1 out of 5 stars, and the most recent inspection came in December 2025, recent enough that this picture reflects how the home operates now, not years ago.
