All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Port Arthur,
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.
Bonne Vie runs lean on the floor. At 3.41 nurse hours per resident each day, it sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday staffing, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The 5/5 inspection rating looks strong next to 11 deficiencies on record, none at harm level but one abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Staff turnover of 32.7% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. Owned by a for-profit corporation, this 140-bed home in Port Arthur has consistent leadership but not enough daily hands.
Port Arthur Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 199 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its numbers split sharply depending on where you look. The quality measure score is perfect, yet nurse staffing sits at 3.06 hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level. Turnover lands at 44.3%, close to the national figure, so retention isn't the outlier here. What is: 50 deficiencies on the current record, including five at harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $310,553. The last inspection was June 25, 2025. A strong quality score doesn't offset that inspection history.
Sabine Heights runs on thin staffing: 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 63.1% against a 45.8% national figure, meaning most of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. The current inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, including 10 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $287,581. This is a 150-bed for-profit corporate home whose last inspection was January 7, 2026, and whose CMS staffing and health inspection ratings both sit at one star out of five.
