Nursing homes across Tarrant County, Texas, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Bear Creek runs lean on nursing staff, 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping about 10% below its own weekday coverage. More than half its nurses left over the past year (55% turnover), a rate well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where things get serious: 34 deficiencies, six of them at the harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and three fines totaling $148,612. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating reflects that pattern, and a 3-out-of-5 quality measure score doesn't offset it. For-profit LLC ownership rounds out the picture.
Renaissance Park runs 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national figure of 3.86, but that average hides a gap: weekends drop about 17% below the home's own weekday staffing. The bigger concern is retention, 63.2% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, which means many of the people caring for residents are new to the building. On the record side, 31 deficiencies include 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with $106,478 in fines across 4 penalties. The most recent inspection closed in April 2026.
Park View Care Center runs 179 certified beds in Fort Worth under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 10 percent below its own weekday coverage. That's the strongest part of the picture. The inspection record is where it gets harder to explain away: 62 deficiencies on file, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $299,019. Annual staff turnover runs 51.9 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, so the people providing care keep changing. The most recent inspection was February 2026, recent enough that this record reflects current conditions, not an old one.
Arbor Lake runs on 3.11 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 11 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in a 52.7 percent annual turnover rate, with more than half the nursing staff leaving each year. Inspectors cited 33 deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and two tied to abuse. The owner is a for-profit individual, and two fines totaling $14,676 are on file. One bright spot: the quality measures score well above average, and the most recent inspection was July 2025.
The Pavilion At Creekwood runs 126 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.21 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 13% below its own weekday level, and turnover lands at 47%, slightly above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, with three fines totaling $39,674 and a 2/5 health inspection star. Quality measures score 4/5, but that doesn't offset the staffing and inspection picture. The most recent inspection was April 14, 2026, so the record is current.
James L West Center runs on a dementia-specific model in Fort Worth, and its staffing reflects that: 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 6% below its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 33.9%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The trouble is on the inspection side. Seventeen deficiencies are on record, eight of them at harm or jeopardy level and eight abuse-related, with nine fines totaling $63,236 and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. A recent June 2025 inspection means the picture is current. Strong daily care, but a documented history of serious safety problems.
The Tuskegee Airmen Texas State Veterans Home in Fort Worth is a 120-bed nonprofit, and its inspection record carries some weight worth knowing about. Eleven deficiencies show up on the current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, not the kind of findings a family should gloss over. One CMS fine of $14,280 is on file, and the most recent inspection was May 14, 2025, so the picture is fairly fresh. We don't have enough verified data here to compute a grade for this home, which means the deficiency pattern is the main thing you can actually judge. Ask about those harm-level findings and the abuse citations directly before deciding.
Glenview Wellness & Rehabilitation runs on a leaner nurse staffing budget than most homes in the country, 2.40 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip even further below its own weekday coverage. That gap shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at the lowest tier, while annual turnover of 57.3% means the aides and nurses who are there keep changing.
The inspection record is where things get more concerning: 26 deficiencies on file, four of them at the level where a resident was actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and six tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $23,970 have been levied. The quality measure rating is strong at 4 out of 5, but that's a paper score next to the hands-on reality of who's available to answer a call light.
Richland Hills runs about 22% leaner on nursing hours than the typical American nursing home, and weekends drop roughly another 15% below its own weekday pace. That staffing math matters most when you consider the 72% annual turnover, nearly three-quarters of the nursing staff cycling out each year against a national average of 45.8%, on a corporate-owned, 92-bed building. The health inspection history shows 37 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one abuse-related, with $8,190 in fines. CMS quality scores look strong, but those rely heavily on self-reported measures, while the staffing and inspection numbers reflect what surveys actually found.
Ridgmar Medical Lodge runs on 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average, and weekends dip another 13% below its own weekday coverage. That thin staffing shows up in the numbers: 52.7% annual turnover, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $29,598. The hospital district owns the building, so it isn't a chain cutting corners for profit, but ownership type doesn't change what families have to weigh here. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections don't. If you're considering it, ask specifically how weekends are covered.
The Carlyle at Stonebridge Park runs a 112-bed for-profit building in Southlake, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 60.9% against a national 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses who know your mother may not be there in six months. The current record shows 35 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus $125,895 in fines. The last inspection was January 2026.
Fort Worth Wellness & Rehabilitation runs on 2.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage is the main thing behind its one-star staffing rating, and it shows up alongside 19 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level, plus a single fine of $122,336. The inspection history sits at two stars, most recently surveyed July 17, 2025, so nothing here is stale. Turnover of 46.7% is close to the national 45.8%, but with this staffing level, even average churn means less continuity for residents.
River Oaks runs on a staffing model that doesn't hold. Nearly every employee who worked there a year ago is gone now, turnover sits at 95.6% against a national average of 45.8%, and the staffing star rating reflects it at 1 out of 5. That churn shows up in the record: 37 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $60,095. The health inspection rating is also 1 star, though the quality measure score of 4 suggests some clinical targets are being met on paper. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. The most recent inspection was April 17, 2026.
Arlington Heights runs 170 certified beds in Fort Worth, and the numbers that stand out are about people, not beds. Nurse staffing sits at 3.27 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 91.6% when the national figure is 45.8%, which means the aide or nurse your mother sees on Tuesday may not be there by spring. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with $31,539 in fines and a 2/5 health inspection rating. Ownership is for-profit, individual.
Avir At Fort Worth runs on 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 11% below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 71.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing most of the hands-on care are frequently new to the building. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 42 deficiencies, nine serious enough to put residents in harm's way, six tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $272,419, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. High marks on quality measures don't offset a staffing and compliance picture like that.
Willow Ridge runs 265 beds in Fort Worth under a for-profit LLC, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 3.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, with weekends dipping about 13% below its own weekday coverage. The inspection record backs that up, 39 deficiencies in total, 14 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, plus seven fines adding to $321,244. Quality measures score well, but the health inspection and staffing ratings both sit at the bottom of the federal scale, and the most recent survey was July 2025.
Interlochen runs lean on the floor, and the numbers show it. Nurses give residents about 3.36 hours of care a day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends drop another 14% below the home's own weekday pace, so the thinnest coverage lands right when families tend to visit. On top of that, nearly everyone on staff left in the past year: 95.9% turnover against a national figure under half that, which means the people caring for residents are constantly new to the building. Its record carries 31 deficiencies, 6 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 4 tied to abuse, and $54,137 in fines. An April 2025 inspection is recent, but the pattern behind it isn't reassuring.
Lake Lodge runs on 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly sixteen percent under the national average, and weekends dip about eight percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in a 93 percent annual turnover rate, double the national figure, meaning the aides and nurses at your mother's bedside are, statistically, likely to be gone within a year. The current record carries 33 deficiencies, five serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy and six tied to abuse, with $47,621 in fines across three cases. A January 2026 inspection is recent, at least, but a for-profit LLC with that staffing level and that churn is worth visiting unannounced, on a weekend, before you decide.
Fort Worth Transitional Care Center runs on 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth less than the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest staffing lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 68.8% against a 45.8% national figure, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are relatively new to the building. The inspection record is the harder problem: 49 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus $64,771 in fines, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. It's a hospital-district facility, and the quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers don't.
Avir At Kennedale runs 58 certified beds and reports 2.92 total nurse hours per resident per day, about a quarter below the national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 16% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: staff turnover is 72.2% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents change constantly, and CMS gives staffing a single star. The inspection record is heavier than most: 28 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, three abuse-related, and one fine of $16,437. Its last inspection was September 2025. For-profit corporate ownership. The quality measure score is middling, but that's self-reported data. The staffing and inspection record is what families should weigh.
