The numbers at Laredo Medical Center are unusually clean for an 18-bed for-profit home. Nurse staffing sits at 6.27 hours per resident day, roughly 62% above the national average, and the staff turnover rate of 30% beats the national figure of 45.8%. Only two deficiencies show on the current record, neither at the harm level and none abuse-related, following an inspection in December 2025.
The one soft spot is weekends, when staffing runs about 12% below the home's own weekday level. That's a common pattern, but with this few beds it's worth asking how coverage holds up on a Saturday.

Las Alturas runs 3.13 nurse hours per resident per day, about 19% under the national average, and the gap widens on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage is the main reason its staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5 even though quality measures score 5 out of 5, those measures reflect clinical outcomes, not how many hands are on the floor. The 22 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and turnover at 49.2% means nearly half the nursing staff leaves within a year. The last inspection was February 2026.

Laredo South runs lean on the floor: 3.19 nurse hours per resident day, about 17 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 18 percent below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters more than the headline numbers, because the home's 36.7 percent turnover is actually better than the 45.8 percent national rate, meaning staff tend to stay, but there aren't enough of them scheduled. Inspections are recent, July 2025, and the record shows 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a single $8,021 fine. Nonprofit ownership and 4-star inspection and quality ratings give you something solid to work with. Ask directly how they cover weekends.

Laredo Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.21 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, with weekends about 15 percent thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover is actually better than average at 34.9 percent, so the problem isn't churn so much as how few hands are scheduled on any given shift. What should concern you most is the inspection record: 27 deficiencies, six serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $93,962. The most recent inspection was March 2026. Low staffing plus that many serious findings is a pattern worth asking about directly before you decide.

La Frontera runs 186 certified beds in Laredo under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nursing hours come in around 3.24 per resident per day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 19% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the coverage gap families notice most is the one that shows up on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspectors were last in on May 29, 2025, and the record carries 11 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $8,021. The health inspection rating holds at 4 of 5 and quality measures at 3, but staffing sits at 1.

Laredo West runs on 3.12 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 47.3%, slightly above the national 45.8%. Those numbers sit behind a one-star health inspection rating and a record of 31 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $49,719. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the record is current, not stale. Government hospital district ownership doesn't change what the staffing and inspection data show. Families should ask direct questions about weekend coverage and the abuse-related findings before deciding.
