Deer Creek of Wimberley
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Deer Creek of Wimberley has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns and poor performance. Ranking #696 out of 1168 facilities in Texas places it in the bottom half, and #4 out of 6 in Hays County means there are only two local options that are better. The facility is worsening, with the number of issues increasing from 12 in 2024 to 17 in 2025. While it has a good staffing rating with a 3 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 34%, which is below the Texas average, it still struggles with critical care failures. For example, there were serious lapses in notifying medical professionals about changes in residents' conditions, such as a malfunctioning insulin pump and infection risks, which could jeopardize residents' health. Overall, while there are some strengths in staffing, the critical care incidents raise serious red flags for potential residents and their families.
