the median home restrains no one

Restraint-free care is the standard. The typical Texas nursing home physically restrains zero residents.

So the ones that do stand out

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.

Why it matters

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.
