Resident Rights
Ellery Care · unbiased Texas nursing-home data
the median home restrains no one
Restraint-free care is the standard. The typical Texas nursing home physically restrains zero residents.
Only 29 of Texas's 1,119 homes still use physical restraints at all. At the worst, 4.5% of residents are restrained — a striking outlier when the median is zero.
Physical restraints are tied to falls, pressure sores, and lost dignity. Modern care avoids them almost entirely — a home that still uses them is worth a hard question.
Every Texas home's restraint rate is on its free report card. In a field where zero is normal, any number above it is a flag.
