Overview of Buckner Westminster Place
Buckner Westminster Place is a 20-bed skilled nursing facility at 2201 Horseshoe Lane in Longview, Gregg County, Texas. Operated by the nonprofit Buckner Retirement Services, Inc., and managed by Executive Director Mr. David Ummel, the community admits Medicare and private-pay residents for short-term post-acute rehabilitation stays averaging 22 days. Current census stands at 14 residents, reflecting a 69% occupancy rate; higher than the Texas statewide average of 63.5%.
The facility carries a 1-star CMS Health Inspection rating, running 30.8% below state performance standards. Over the past two years, four health citations emerged at the facility compared to two for a typical Texas nursing home; a significant 100% elevation above average. Two of these citations were classified as serious violations, nearly four times the state norm for serious findings. Recent deficiencies in June 2025 involved resident rights compliance, infection prevention, pharmaceutical management, and nutrition administration.
Federal fines totaled $30,000 across two separate penalties between May 2024 and March 2025; considerably less than the state average of $80,000. The facility reported no Medicare payment denials.
Buckner Westminster provides 5 hours 20 minutes of nursing care daily per resident, meaningfully above the Texas average of 3 hours 47 minutes, and certified nursing assistants deliver 4 hours 5 minutes per day; double the state standard. Registered nurses average 48 minutes of direct oversight daily, 85% more than typical. Weekend staffing maintains 5 hours 24 minutes per resident per day, ensuring continuity when administrative support typically drops. Physical therapy averages 2 minutes per day, below state norms.
Short-stay discharge outcomes reflect effective rehabilitation. Eighty-two percent of residents maintain or improve their ability to perform self-care upon discharge, well above the state rate of 54%. Two in three successfully return home or to community settings. However, 27.6% of residents require hospital readmission within 30 days of discharge, marginally above state benchmarks.
Long-stay residents show excellent fall prevention and pressure ulcer management but demonstrate elevated urinary tract infection prevalence and above-average antipsychotic medication use.
Buckner Westminster Place suits residents pursuing intensive short-term rehabilitation with strong nursing support, positioned for discharge and community return.
