Stephenville Nursing and Rehabilitation has an excellent Trust Grade of A, indicating a high level of care and service. With a state rank of #135 out of 1168 facilities and a county rank of #1 out of 3, it stands in the top half of Texas nursing homes, making it one of the best options in Erath County. The facility’s trend is stable, with 8 concerns identified in both 2023 and 2024, suggesting consistent performance. Staffing is a mixed bag; while the turnover rate of 44% is better than the state average, the facility only has a 3 out of 5 star rating for staffing, indicating there is room for improvement. Notably, the facility has no fines on record, which is a positive sign, and it offers more RN coverage than 96% of Texas facilities, ensuring comprehensive care. However, there are some areas of concern: the kitchen was not properly cleaned, risking foodborne illness, and there were lapses in creating necessary care plans for some residents, which could affect their safety and well-being. Overall, while there are strengths in RN coverage and a lack of fines, families should consider the identified issues when evaluating this facility for their loved ones.
