Every Medicare-certified nursing home in Texas, graded on inspections, staffing, turnover
and enforcement history.
37 homes
in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Vidor Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 144 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 2.88 total nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage slips about 10% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 93.5% against a national rate near 46%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record backs up the concern: 37 deficiencies on file, four at harm or jeopardy level, four abuse-related, and two fines totaling $58,904, with a one-star health inspection rating and a one-star staffing rating.
The Hillcrest of North Dallas runs on 2.66 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a third less than the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 68.3% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Its inspection record shows 44 deficiencies, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with $221,052 in fines across three penalties and a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating; the most recent survey was July 31, 2025. Ownership is a for-profit corporation. The quality measure stars don't offset what staffing and inspections show.
Kemp Care Center runs on 2.88 nurse hours per resident day, about a quarter below the national average, and weekends dip roughly 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage sits behind a 95.4% annual turnover rate, more than double the national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside are, statistically, mostly new. Inspectors have cited 41 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with $256,260 in fines on record. A 5/5 quality measure score and a recent July 2025 inspection don't offset a 1/5 staffing rating from CMS. For-profit corporate ownership; ask specifically how weekends and evenings are covered before you decide.
Paradigm At The Prairies runs on 2.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 37 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about another 15 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage sits alongside 25 deficiencies on the current record, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and three tied to abuse. Staff turnover lands at 51.4 percent, above the national figure. The most recent inspection was April 2025, and three fines totaling $62,430 have accumulated. For-profit individual ownership, 150 certified beds, and one out of five stars from CMS on both staffing and health inspections.
Meridian Care Monte Vista runs 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, but that raw number hides two problems: weekend staffing drops about 15% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 68.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people providing that care are new and likely to leave. The inspection record is where it gets harder to defend, 49 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with fines totaling $28,345 and a February 2026 inspection still the most recent. The staffing ratio looks good on paper, but a home where two-thirds of caregivers turn over each year and inspectors keep finding serious problems isn't one where that number translates into steady care.
If you're weighing Lakeside for someone you love, the staffing numbers are the place to start. At 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, this for-profit home runs roughly 19% below the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 82.2% against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for your family member are likely to change often. The record shows 44 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. That's a lot of history for a 93-bed building.
Coral Rehabilitation and Nursing of Austin runs on 2.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday level. That thin margin shows up in staffing, where the home sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and in a 57.6% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is heavier still: 86 deficiencies, 18 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 10 involving abuse, plus five fines totaling $294,911. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. The last inspection was September 30, 2025.
Normandy Terrace is a 320-bed for-profit home in San Antonio, and the numbers that stand out are about people. Nurse staffing sits at 3.01 hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 18 percent thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 95.8 percent, more than double the national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are, in large part, new or on their way out. The inspection record shows 49 deficiencies, six at the harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with five fines totaling $287,359. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating back that up. If you're considering this home, ask hard questions about who's on the floor at night and on weekends.
Rock Creek runs on 2.84 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in turnover: 90.3% of staff left over the past year, double the national rate of 45.8%. The current record carries 36 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $82,579 in fines across two events. Inspectors last visited in August 2025. Corporate-owned and Medicare-certified for 120 beds, the home scores 1 out of 5 on CMS staffing and 2 on health inspections, while its quality measure rating sits at 3.
The Rio at Mission Trails runs 124 beds under hospital district ownership in San Antonio, and its nurse staffing sits just under the national average, 3.71 hours per resident day against 3.86. That small gap is not the real story. Weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 97.2%, more than double the national rate of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses at your mother's bedside are, statistically, almost certain to be new within the year. On inspections, the home carries 32 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with two fines totaling $153,825.
Castle Hills Rehabilitation and Care Center is a for-profit, limited liability operation with 143 certified beds in San Antonio. Nurse staffing runs about 2.96 hours per resident per day, roughly 23 percent below the national average, and weekends fall about 15 percent under its own weekday levels. Every CMS star category here lands at 1 out of 5: health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. The deficiency record shows 72 citations, eight of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $112,386 and a recent inspection on September 12, 2025. That combination of thin staffing, low inspection scores, and serious deficiencies is what any family should weigh before choosing this home.
Avir At San Antonio runs on 2.63 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 60.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with $29,494 in fines across three penalties. Its most recent inspection was August 30, 2025, and the corporation that owns it holds a for-profit license.
Austin Wellness & Rehabilitation runs on 2.63 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops another 9% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage sits behind a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and 62 deficiencies on the current record, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Staff turnover is 61.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses your family member sees may keep changing. Three fines total $166,205, and the last inspection was March 2025. For-profit, individually owned, 120 beds.
Ralls Nursing Home runs on 2.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 14% below its own weekday levels. That thin staffing sits behind 29 deficiencies on the current record, nine of them at harm or jeopardy level and 13 abuse-related, with five fines totaling $303,179. Annual turnover of 72.4% means most of the aides and nurses working here last year aren't the ones working here now. The last inspection was September 2025, so the record is current, not stale. One bright spot: the quality measure rating is 4 out of 5, but quality scores are largely built from resident assessment data the facility itself reports, and they don't offset a 1-out-of-5 inspection and staffing picture.
Greenhill Villas runs on thin staffing even before the weekend squeeze: 3.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday level. That's the kind of gap families notice as slower call-button response. Staff turnover sits at 95.2%, more than double the national 45.8%, so the aide who knows your mother's routine this month may be gone the next. The current record carries 47 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus $154,116 in fines across three penalties. The last inspection was June 2025. Corporate-owned, 150 beds.
Forest Park runs on 2.92 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level. That thin staffing shows up in a 67.8% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure. Its inspection record carries 53 deficiencies, eight at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, along with four fines totaling $193,834. The most recent inspection was February 2026. A 4/5 quality measure score sits alongside 1/5 ratings for both staffing and health inspections, worth knowing what that quality number actually measures before weighing it against the rest.
Fall Creek runs on 3.25 nursing hours per resident day, about 16 percent under the national average, with weekends dropping roughly 14 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a 65.6 percent annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, and a one-star CMS staffing rating. Inspectors have cited 21 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $48,555. The last inspection was in May 2025. For a 126-bed for-profit home, the pattern across staffing, turnover, and enforcement history is worth weighing carefully before you decide.
Buena Vida Nursing and Rehab in San Antonio runs 222 certified beds under hospital district ownership, and federal data shows it struggling on every measure CMS tracks. Nurse staffing sits at 2.93 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 49 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and $187,608 in fines. That combination landed it in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes.
Focused Care At Sherman runs on 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a 75% annual turnover rate, well above the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents are often new to the building. Its current record carries 45 deficiencies, including 7 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $82,570, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. The quality measure rating of 3/5 is the one area that looks closer to average, but staffing and inspection ratings both sit at 1/5.
Avir At Weston runs 120 certified beds in Temple under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.03 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 21% below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts get even thinner. Staff turnover hits 83.3% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building. The inspection record backs that up: 29 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and four fines totaling $154,589. The most recent inspection was June 13, 2025.
