All 9 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Plano,
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.
The Legacy At Willow Bend runs on about 5.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% more staffing than the typical American nursing home. That's the kind of margin that shows up in daily care, and it's backed by a 26.7% annual staff turnover rate, well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces. The trade-off: 16 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was in December 2025, so the picture is current. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below its own weekday level, a small but real gap. Nonprofit ownership, strong inspection and quality ratings, and no harm-level findings round out the record.
Life Care Center Of Plano runs on 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 42.5%, slightly better than the typical home but hardly stable. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, and a single fine of $8,281, with the most recent state visit in April 2025. What lifts this home is its quality measures, where it scores at the top of the federal scale, the day-to-day care metrics look strong even as the safety and staffing picture stays merely adequate.
Collinwood runs on 3.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends dip even further below its own weekday coverage. That thin floor shows up in the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with a $51,113 fine. Staff turnover of 23.1% is genuinely better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care, and the 4/5 quality measure rating suggests clinical outcomes aren't the weak spot. The church-affiliated nonprofit ownership is a plus. But the last inspection was August 2025, and the staffing math combined with that deficiency count is what drives the low grade.
The Plano home run by the hospital district is licensed for 112 beds and gets decent marks on health inspections and quality measures, 4 out of 5 stars on both, with its most recent inspection in May 2025. Where it slips is staffing: 3.70 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, and turnover hits 51.8% against a national 45.8%. Twenty deficiencies are on the current record, three serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse, and fines total just over $10,000. The care picture looks steadier than the workforce holding it together.
Accel At Willow Bend runs 110 beds in Plano under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go first. Nurse coverage sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, weekend shifts drop roughly 17% below weekdays, and annual turnover hits 74.4% against a national 45.8%, that's a lot of new faces rotating through. The inspection record backs it up: 49 deficiencies on file, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and four tied to abuse, with a 2/5 health inspection rating. The 4/5 quality measure score looks better on paper, but quality measures depend on the staff actually there to document them.
Prestonwood runs on a hospital district's budget, and the nurse staffing shows it: 4.21 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average. Weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturday or Sunday. The harder numbers are on the inspection side, 16 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with one fine totaling $14,433. Staff turnover sits at 46.8%, a hair above the national 45.8%. The last inspection was April 2025, so the record is recent. Strong staffing and quality scores, rough inspection history, that split is what the grade reflects.
The Healthcare Resort Of Plano runs 70 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.82 nurse hours per resident day. The bigger issue is consistency: weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 54.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over each year. That churn shows up on the inspection side too, 25 deficiencies on the current record, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $16,438 in fines across two events, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Nothing here is catastrophic, but the pattern is a home running thin on staff and paying for it in citations.
The Park In Plano runs on about 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage dips another 14 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 93.2 percent, about double the national figure, which means the aides and nurses in the building are, more often than not, still learning the residents. Inspections tell a different story: a 4 out of 5 federal rating, 36 deficiencies on record with none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 120 beds, last inspected in April 2026. The pattern is a home that passes its surveys while running lean on the people who do the daily work.
Landmark of Plano runs about 3.42 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 12% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest staffing lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 88.5%, nearly double the national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses caring for your relative are likely to change often. On its current record: 42 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a $9,240 fine. Inspectors were last on site in August 2025.
