Methodist Retirement Communities – Creekside Retirement Community is a nonprofit nursing home in Huntsville, Texas, operated by Methodist Retirement Communities. The 56-bed facility serves older adults across Walker County and provides assisted living, memory support, long-term care, and short-term rehabilitation. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Creekside holds a 5-star overall CMS rating, placing it 66% above the Texas average across all four CMS sub-categories. Staffing is the facility’s most defining strength. Nurse staffing averages 5 hours and 29 minutes per resident per day, ranking the facility 12th among 289 Texas skilled nursing facilities and approximately 45% above the state average of 3 hours and 47 minutes. Weekend nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 24 minutes per resident per day, 48% above the Texas norm, which means the gap between weekday and weekend staffing is narrow relative to most Texas peers.
One inspection appears on record. A June 2023 visit resulted in nine citations, all related to Life Safety Code issues, such as fire alarm documentation, lighting compliance, and NFPA 101 standards. No Health Code deficiencies were cited, and no enforcement actions followed. The facility’s occupancy rate is 84.4%, well above the Texas average of 63.5%, and its average length of stay is 69 days.
The community holds Alzheimer’s certification and provides 24-hour staffing. Pets are permitted on-site.
Creekside is best suited for residents who prioritize high nursing coverage and dementia-capable care in a mid-sized, faith-affiliated community — including those in memory support or transitioning from a hospital stay into short-term rehabilitation.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 12th out of 289 homes in Texas for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 34m per day | ▲ 33% State avg: 25m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 1h 31m per day | ▲ 60% State avg: 57m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 3h 18m per day | ▲ 63% State avg: 2h 1m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 4h 44m per day | ▲ 57% State avg: 3h 0m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 5m per day | ▲ 18% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 23m per day | ▲ 16% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
