Ft Worth Southwest Nursing Center, located at 5300 Altamesa Blvd in Fort Worth, has recently been added to the list of "worst of the worst" nursing homes in the country. Designated as a special focus facility by the federal government, this nursing home has been found to have serious and prolonged health and safety violations. With 198 beds, Ft Worth Southwest Nursing Center has repeatedly received citations for endangering residents and violating health and safety protocols. In a recent inspection, concerning violations were identified that put residents at risk and raised serious concerns about the level of care provided at this facility.
During the inspection, multiple instances of neglect and violations were uncovered. One nursing assistant reported regular neglect of a resident who required total assistance with daily activities. Another resident with a diagnosis of paranoid personality disorder and pneumonia went missing for an unknown period, with the facility failing to take action to locate him or ensure his safety. Additionally, a resident was mistreated by a nurse who called her a liar and made her cry, leaving her feeling worthless. These findings highlight significant issues with the quality of care and attention provided to residents at Ft Worth Southwest Nursing Center.
Owned by Coryell County Memorial Hospital Authority and managed by Southwest Nursing & Rehab Center LLC, and operated by Oasis HCP LLC, Ft Worth Southwest Nursing Center has come under increased scrutiny due to these violations. The facility faces potential consequences under new federal rules that could result in the loss of funding if found to have dangerous violations. With a history of serious deficiencies, Ft Worth Southwest Nursing Center must address these issues and improve the level of care provided to residents in order to meet the required standards set by regulatory agencies.
