Quality ratings
Heritage Convalescent Center holds a CMS overall quality rating of 2 out of 5 stars, based on the most recent Care Compare release (data as of April 2026). CMS breaks this into three sub-ratings: health inspection (3/5), staffing (1/5), and quality measures (3/5).
What each sub-rating measures

The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.
Size and setting
Located in Amarillo, Texas, this facility operates 116 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 67 residents - an occupancy rate of about 58%. The facility is classified under for profit - corporation ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 58% occupancy, this facility has meaningful open capacity relative to its certified bed count.
Same-ownership peers
Within Texas, Heritage Convalescent Center is one of 413 for profit - corporation nursing homes CMS rates. Its 2-star overall rating sits below the for profit - corporation-segment average of 2.8 stars, ahead of roughly 19% of same-ownership peers in the state. Comparing a facility against its own ownership segment holds the business model roughly constant, which helps isolate facility-level performance from the staffing and reinvestment patterns that differ across for-profit, non-profit, and government operators.
