As of the fourth quarter of 2023, Paradigm at Stevens was owned by West Wharton County Hospital District, according to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The nursing home, located in De Witt County, has been owned by West Wharton County Hospital District since Oct. 1, 2019.

Paradigm at Stevens is registered as a for-profit facility.

During that period, the nursing home had an overall rating of two from the CMS, which is lagging behind the average of 2.5 recorded for nursing homes in Texas. CMS ratings evaluate nursing homes based on critical aspects such as health inspection outcomes, staffing levels, and the quality of care provided to residents.

According to the data, Paradigm at Stevens aided an average of 43 residents per day during the fourth quarter of 2023, with a total of 106 beds available. Currently, the nursing home is not located within a hospital.

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, Paradigm at Stevens spent a total of $100,307 in five fines and suffered five penalties.

In total, there were two for-profit nursing homes in De Witt County, Texas.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
