LEGACY ESTATE LONG TERM CARE
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Legacy Estate Long Term Care has a Trust Grade of C+, which means it is slightly above average but still has room for improvement. It ranks #2 out of 3 facilities in Comanche County, indicating that only one local option is better, while its state rank of #758 out of 1168 places it in the bottom half of Texas facilities. The facility is new, so there is no trend data to assess improvement or decline. Staffing is a concern here, with a poor rating of 1 out of 5 stars; however, it has a 0% turnover rate, which is significantly better than the Texas average of 50%, suggesting that the staff stays long-term. There have been no fines, which is a positive aspect. However, the facility has several areas of concern. For example, the kitchen failed to properly store and label food, which poses a risk for foodborne illnesses. Additionally, it did not submit accurate staffing information to the relevant authorities, which could hinder the identification of residents' personal care needs. Lastly, two residents did not have adequate care plans in place, potentially affecting their individualized care. Overall, while there are strengths, families should be aware of these weaknesses when considering Legacy Estate for their loved ones.

Do Nurses at Legacy Estate Long Term Care Stick Around?

Was Legacy Estate Long Term Care Ever Fined?

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
