About this community
Meadow Lake Health Center is a 30-bed nursing home in Tyler, Texas, managed by Lifespace Communities and licensed through July 2026. CMS rates it 5 stars overall, with 5-star health inspections and long-stay quality measures. Staffing rates 4 stars. All 20 Medicare-certified beds are occupied — the facility is running above its certified bed count — so availability is limited.
Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026
What the data says
Staffing rates 4 stars on CMS — roughly the top 9% of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Each resident receives about 247 minutes of nursing care per day, exceeding Texas's 4-star threshold of 241 minutes. Staff hours per resident also exceed what a typical resident mix would require, meaning the workload is lighter than the raw minutes might suggest.
The facility is operating at roughly 135% of its 20 Medicare-certified beds against a licensed capacity of 30. At 27 residents on an average day, it is effectively full. Expect limited availability and ask directly about current waitlist status.

Questions to ask when you tour
Current bed availability
With an average of 27 residents against 20 Medicare-certified beds, ask how the facility manages admissions and whether there is an active waitlist right now.
Short-stay quality scores
CMS rates long-stay quality measures 5 stars but short-stay measures 3 stars — ask what accounts for that difference and whether your parent's stay would be short or long.
Medicare-only admission policy
The state license lists this facility as Medicare-only with no Medicaid beds — ask what happens when a resident's Medicare benefit ends and Medicaid coverage would be needed.
Lifespace Communities oversight
Meadow Lake is managed by Lifespace Communities — ask how clinical and staffing decisions are made locally versus at the management-company level.
Weekend staffing levels
Reported weekend nursing hours run about 3.4 hours per resident per day, below the weekday figure — ask how staffing is structured on weekends and holidays.
