LEXINGTON MEDICAL LODGE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Lexington Medical Lodge has a Trust Grade of B+, which indicates it is above average and recommended for potential residents. It ranks #278 out of 1168 facilities in Texas, placing it in the top half of all state nursing homes, and #8 out of 22 in Collin County, meaning only seven local options are better. However, the facility's trend is worsening, with the number of reported issues increasing from 3 in 2024 to 5 in 2025. Staffing is a concern, receiving only 1 out of 5 stars, though the turnover rate at 32% is better than the state average of 50%, suggesting some staff remain long-term. While there have been no fines reported, the RN coverage is lower than 87% of Texas facilities, which may impact the quality of care. Specific incidents include failures to ensure that call lights were accessible for two residents, potentially leaving them unable to call for help in emergencies. Additionally, residents needing respiratory care did not have their equipment stored properly, posing a risk of respiratory infections. Lastly, there were lapses in personal hygiene care, as two residents did not receive necessary grooming services, which could affect their dignity and overall quality of life. Overall, while the facility has strengths such as a good health inspection rating and no fines, the concerning staffing levels and recent increase in compliance issues warrant careful consideration.
