All 33 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Dallas,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
C C Young Memorial Home sits in Dallas as a nonprofit with 129 certified beds, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing runs 5.30 hours per resident day, roughly 37% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 43.1%, slightly better than the national 45.8%. Eight deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated January 15, 2026. All three CMS star ratings land at 5 out of 5.
Ventana By Buckner runs 5.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 5% below its own weekday staffing. That consistency matters more than the raw number, since shortfalls usually show up on Saturdays and Sundays. The Dallas nonprofit carries 14 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection dated March 2026. Staff turnover sits at 44.8%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%, neither a warning sign nor a bragging point. For families weighing this one, the staffing depth and clean harm record are doing the real work here.
The Legacy Midtown Park in Dallas runs a tight ship on the things that matter most: 5.71 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 9% below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 33.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Inspections back that up, the most recent, in September 2025, produced six deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related. Four fines totaling $27,523 have accumulated on the record. As a nonprofit with 54 beds, it's small enough that problems don't hide easily, and the inspection history suggests few serious ones have.
Continuing Care At Highland Springs runs 44 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing is a genuine bright spot: 4.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 10% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 31.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The friction is on the inspection side, 17 deficiencies on record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus one $46,105 fine, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. That combination of strong daily staffing and a troublesome survey history is what pulls the overall picture down.
Pure Health Transitional Care sits on the Texas Health Presbyterian campus in Dallas, a 49-bed for-profit run by a limited liability company. The numbers that matter most here are the inspection record: four deficiencies on file, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, and a survey completed in July 2025. That's a clean recent look. Staffing runs 4.35 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 9% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover is 53.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so you'll want to ask how often residents see the same faces.
Villages Of Lake Highlands sits in Dallas with 126 certified beds and a corporate for-profit owner. The staffing numbers are the good news: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, with turnover at 35.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends run roughly 10% leaner than weekdays, so coverage does thin out.
The inspection record is where it gets harder. Fourteen deficiencies on the current record, five of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus three fines totaling $29,022 and a recent May 2025 inspection. No abuse citations, which matters. The federal quality measure rating of 5/5 contrasts sharply with a 1/5 on health inspections, a gap worth asking the administrator about directly.
Presbyterian Village North runs 4.46 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 11% below its own weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 43%, a little better than the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit's last inspection was mid-2025. Against that, the record shows 12 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two fines totaling $36,505. The staffing and quality ratings both land at 4 out of 5, which is genuinely solid, but inspection history is where families should look closest, a recent visit doesn't erase what regulators already found. Worth asking about those two harm-level citations specifically.
The Plaza At Edgemere runs 4.29 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 11% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday levels. Inspectors cited 13 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse findings and a single fine of $12,735. This for-profit limited liability company holds 72 certified beds and was last inspected on January 22, 2026. Its four-out-of-five marks for health inspections and quality measures sit above its three-out-of-five staffing score, so the care numbers look steadier than the direct-care hours alone would suggest.
Golden Acres runs 264 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 9% leaner than weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Sunday. Staff turnover is 46.6%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, which usually means less continuity for residents who need consistent caregivers. The current record carries 33 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was January 22, 2026, so the picture is fairly current. Three stars each on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing puts this home squarely in the middle of the pack.
The Villages of Dallas runs 160 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.07 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level. The bigger concern is turnover: 58.8% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. That churn shows up in the inspection record, 36 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 abuse-related, with $31,303 in fines across two penalties. CMS rated quality measures 5 stars and health inspections 3, but staffing only 2. The last inspection was April 16, 2026.
Brentwood Place Two runs 120 certified beds in Dallas under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 2.51 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 35% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 15% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 33 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $14,433 fine.
The split ratings tell the story plainly, one star for staffing, two for health inspections, yet five for quality measures. Turnover at 39.4% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention. It's how few hands are scheduled per resident, especially on weekends. Ask about weekend coverage specifically.
Southern Oaks runs lean on nursing staff, 2.62 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a third less. Weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The 21 deficiencies on record don't include any at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, which matters. The trade-off shows up elsewhere: strong quality measures, middling inspections, and staffing that pulls the overall picture down. State surveyors were last in the building in September 2025, so the inspection record is recent. Ask what the direct-care aide-to-resident ratio looks like on a Sunday afternoon.
Brentwood Place Three runs about a third leaner on nursing hours than the typical American nursing home, 2.58 per resident day against a national 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 13 percent below its own weekday coverage. Those are the numbers families feel when call lights take longer to answer. The inspection record backs that up: 23 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a $12,740 fine and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. Turnover at 39.4 percent actually beats the 45.8 percent national figure, so this isn't a churning-staff problem so much as a thin-scheduling one. A 4/5 on quality measures says some clinical care is working. Whether that offsets routine short-staffing is your call.
Signature Pointe runs 195 beds in Dallas under for-profit LLC ownership, and the nursing hours residents actually receive sit at 4.04 per day, roughly 5% above the national average. That sounds fine until you look at who's delivering those hours: annual turnover hits 64.6% against a national average of 45.8%, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is where the real concern lives, 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $38,436 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the picture is current. Strong quality measures don't offset a staffing churn problem and that deficiency history.
The Renaissance at Kessler Park runs 135 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its biggest problem shows up in the staffing numbers. At 2.92 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 24% under the national average of 3.86, and the federal staffing rating comes in at just 1 out of 5. Weekend coverage dips slightly below weekday levels, and annual turnover of 51.6% runs above the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents keep changing.
Inspections look stronger on paper, a recent December 2025 survey and solid marks on health inspections and quality measures, but the record shows 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus an $11,031 fine.
Brentwood Place One runs 120 beds in Dallas under corporate ownership, and its inspection record actually looks decent, 4 out of 5 stars, with the most recent survey in April 2026. The trouble sits in staffing: 2.31 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 40% under the national average, with weekends about 11% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 73.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse. Strong quality scores and a five-star quality measure rating don't erase any of that.
Simpson Place runs about 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage comes with 55.6% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses cycling through are stretched even when the numbers look adequate on paper. The record shows 34 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 30, 2026. State surveyors rated health inspections 3 out of 5 and quality measures 4 out of 5, but staffing 1 out of 5, which tells you where the trouble lives.
The Meadows runs on 2.90 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips even further below its own weekday levels. The current record shows 32 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with $35,731 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover sits at 58.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, under for-profit LLC ownership. The quality measure score of 4 out of 5 may look reassuring, but it stands against a 1 out of 5 inspection rating and a 2 out of 5 on staffing, the numbers families weigh most heavily. The most recent inspection was January 15, 2025, so the record is current.
Skyline Nursing Center is a 204-bed hospital-district home in Dallas, and the numbers behind its federal record are hard to read kindly. Nurse staffing runs about 3.05 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and it drops another 10% on weekends, when families often visit and coverage matters most. Annual turnover sits at 50%. The inspection history is heavier still: 39 deficiencies on the current record, including 5 at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, plus 6 tied to abuse. One fine of $96,817 has been levied, and the most recent inspection was April 2026.
The Villa at Mountain View runs 3.31 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday levels. That matters when you consider the record: 36 deficiencies, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $33,580. Staff turnover sits at 48.3%, a few points above the national 45.8%, and the most recent inspection was May 2025. Ownership is for-profit corporate, with 120 certified beds. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, but the staffing and inspection numbers describe a building where care depends heavily on who happens to be working that day.
