Texas Nursing Homes Are Some of The Worst In The Nation

According to a Government database, Texas has one of the worst ratted nursing homes in the country. With over 51% of the states nursing homes getting less than two stars out of five. The website, which is run by medicare, shows the results of nursing homes by the quality of care, results of government inspections, and so on. This means that over half of the nursing homes in Texas are far below the national standards. These for-profit nursing homes often have cases of abuse and neglect on top of their already poor conditions.
This means many families have to make the decision to have their loved one close by in a one-star nursing home or send them away to one of the few 5 stars rated nursing homes. To give you an idea of how rare these quality facilities are, they only make up about 12% of the 1,193 nursing homes in Texas.
