Wellington Rehabilitation and Healthcare

1802 S 31St, Temple, TX 76504

Wellington Rehabilitation and Healthcare carries a 2.0 CMS rating, a significant flag for operational concerns.

Avir at Western Hills

512 Draper Dr, Temple, TX 76504

Avir at Western Hills carries a 2.0 overall rating, but the core tension lies in its 1.0 staffing score clashing with better resident outcomes on quality measures and preventing serious falls. When you press the call button at 2 AM, someone usually comes, and fewer residents suffer major injuries from falls because staff are present during transfers, translating into better quality outcomes.

MORADA TEMPLE

4312 S 31ST ST, TEMPLE, TX 76502

Morada Temple seems to be a place where good intentions meet some tricky realities, especially when you look at how residents are medicated. On the upside, you can see the care is good by the numbers; their pressure ulcer rate is incredibly low, suggesting the staff are diligent about repositioning residents and catching issues before they become serious, which is a huge win for day-to-day comfort and skin health.
