Diversicare of Lake Highlands occupies 9009 White Rock Trail in Dallas’s Lake Highlands neighborhood, operating 280 beds across nursing home, assisted living, and memory care units. The facility, operated by Dallas I Enterprises, accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay residents and sits 11.9 miles from downtown Dallas and 1.99 miles from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. Walk score is 16, requiring car transportation for most errands. Occupancy runs at 57.2%, below the Texas state average.
The resident population is overwhelmingly Medicaid (85.9%), with minimal Medicare (4.3%) or private-pay (9.8%) presence. Financial performance improved, generating a $614,500 surplus in 2024 (4.1% margin). Average stay is 175 days.
The facility holds a 1-star overall CMS rating. Health inspection performance is rated 1 star, 63.8% below the Texas average, reflecting significant deficiency findings.
Staffing also earns a 1-star rating, 52.9% below state average. Adjusted nursing hours total 3 hours 1 minute per resident daily across all roles, placing the facility 248th of 289 in Texas. Registered nurses provide 20 minutes daily (23% below state average); licensed practical nurses 52 minutes (9% below); and certified nursing assistants 1 hour 54 minutes (6% below).
Four federal civil money penalties issued over three years, totaling $55,000, indicate repeated compliance violations at roughly double the typical frequency for Texas facilities.
Long-stay residents show strength in functional stability, pressure ulcer prevention, and infection control. Vaccination rates reach 100%. However, 5.4% of long-stay residents suffer depressive symptoms, 88% worse than state benchmarks. Short-stay rehabilitation outcomes are weak: 2.7% experienced major falls; nearly triple the state average, and only 25.4% achieved successful return to home or community, 50% below the state norm.
Diversicare serves primarily long-term Medicaid residents, with below-average staffing levels, repeated regulatory violations, and rehabilitation outcomes that underperform state standards significantly.
