VILLAGE CREEK REHABILITATION AND NURSING CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Village Creek Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Lumberton, Texas, has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. With a state rank of #1144 out of 1168, this facility is in the bottom half of Texas nursing homes, and ranks last in Hardin County at #5 of 5. The facility's trend is stable, with 4 reported issues in both 2024 and 2025, but these include critical failures such as not ensuring residents were free from abuse and inadequate infection control measures in the laundry area. Staffing is a concern, as it has a low rating of 1 out of 5, with a turnover rate of 54%, which is average for Texas but suggests a lack of stability. Additionally, the facility has incurred $54,438 in fines, which is also average, but demonstrates ongoing compliance issues that families should consider when evaluating care options.

"Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?"
