All 8 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Mesquite,
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.
Nurse staffing at this Mesquite nonprofit runs 3.99 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 4% below its own weekday levels, a small drop, but worth asking about. The bigger concerns sit elsewhere: annual turnover is 52% against a national 45.8%, and the current record carries 15 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $28,941. The 5/5 quality measure score stands out, but that's largely self-reported data, while the 3/5 inspection rating reflects what surveyors actually found when they visited in March 2025.
Willowbend runs 162 certified beds in Mesquite under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 52.9% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where things get serious: 36 deficiencies, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $94,394. Its last inspection was January 22, 2026. The 5/5 quality measure rating reflects resident assessment data, but the 2/5 staffing and 2/5 inspection ratings describe what families actually encounter day to day.
Mesquite Tree runs on 3.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 58.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses caring for your relative are often new to the building. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $13,397 fine; the most recent inspection was March 2026. Quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers are where the real story sits.
Mesquite Village Wellness & Rehabilitation runs 149 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its strongest numbers sit on the clinical side, the 5/5 quality measure rating says residents' care outcomes track well against federal benchmarks. Staffing is where the picture changes: 2.68 nurse hours per resident day lands roughly 31% under the national average, weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday levels, and that staffing rating comes in at 1/5. Turnover at 36.6% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the problem, raw hours are. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a single fine of $8,021 and a survey completed in August 2025.
Cheyenne Medical Lodge is a hospital-district home in Mesquite with 139 certified beds, and its numbers tell a mixed story. The clinical record looks strong, 21 deficiencies on file with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, plus a recent May 2025 inspection and top marks on CMS quality measures. Staffing is where it thins out: 3.61 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 21% below its own weekday levels, and turnover at 47.7% runs slightly above the national rate. That pattern, solid care outcomes propped up by a workforce stretched thin on weekends and cycling through staff, is the real tension in this home's record.
Edgewood Rehabilitation and Care Center is a for-profit limited liability company in Mesquite with 142 certified beds, and its numbers tell two different stories. The state health inspection in May 2025 produced 18 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though one was abuse-related, enough to hold a 4 out of 5 inspection rating and a 5 out of 5 on quality measures. Staffing is where the picture dims: 3.30 nurse hours per resident day sits about 15% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below weekdays, and turnover runs 58.8% against a national 45.8%. Strong inspection results and weak staffing don't cancel out, they just tell you where the risk is.
Palomino Place runs 120 beds in Mesquite, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 52.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse, and $165,086 in fines across three penalties. The last inspection was December 11, 2025, so the record is current. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture.
Town East Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 130 certified beds in Mesquite under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.40 nurse hours per resident day it sits about 12% under the national average, weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekdays, and annual turnover of 70.8% means most of the people caring for your family member will be gone within a year, against a national rate of 45.8%. The inspection record backs that up: 35 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $25,673. The 4/5 quality measure score is the bright spot, but quality measures are self-reported, and staffing is what actually delivers care.
