Paradigm at Faith Memorial
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Paradigm at Faith Memorial has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns and a poor rating overall. It ranks #811 out of 1168 facilities in Texas, placing it in the bottom half, and #65 out of 95 in Harris County, meaning there are only a few facilities with worse ratings locally. While the facility has shown improvement in its issues, decreasing from 7 in 2024 to 5 in 2025, it still has a concerning record of critical incidents. Staffing is a weakness with only a 1 out of 5 stars rating and a turnover rate of 52%, which is average but still reflects instability. There have been serious incidents, such as failing to provide necessary wound care for residents, leading to severe pressure ulcers, and a resident with dementia eloping from the facility unsupervised, which raises significant safety concerns.
