Is Lakeside Health and Wellness a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 1 out of 5 stars overall, below the Texas average of 2.8. Inspectors issued 59 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 4 penalties, including $123,567 in fines, in that time.

Staffing

Nursing staff spend about 2.48 hours per resident per day at Lakeside Health and Wellness, below the Texas median of 3.30 (US median: 3.72). About 0.29 of those hours are from registered nurses. On weekends it falls to 2.15 hours, 13% below its all-week average. 72.9% of nursing staff left within a year (Texas median 50.2%). High turnover can mean residents see unfamiliar caregivers; ask how long the nurses on the unit have worked there.

Paying for care at Lakeside Health and Wellness: Medicare and Medicaid

Lakeside Health and Wellness is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Texas's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.

Questions to ask on a tour of Lakeside Health and Wellness

  1. Inspectors cited the home at the immediate-jeopardy level on September 15, 2023 under the rule on quality of life and care. What changed afterwards, and can I see the plan of correction?
  2. CMS cited the home under its abuse and neglect rules on January 22, 2026. How are staff trained, and how are concerns reported?
  3. CMS rates staffing 1 out of 5. How many residents does each nurse aide care for on day, evening and night shifts?
  4. Nursing staff turnover was 72.9% a year. How many of the staff come from agencies?
  5. Do you have a Medicaid bed open now, and will you admit someone whose Medicaid application is still pending?
  6. When is the first care-plan meeting, and can family attend?
