Federal inspection record
Immediate-jeopardy citations (CMS scope/severity J–L) are the most serious category federal inspectors issue — meaning a deficiency placed residents in immediate risk of serious harm. Ask the facility for the corrective-action plan filed with CMS, and consider contacting your state long-term care ombudsman for context.

CMS rates it 2 stars overall, with a 2-star staffing rating and 2-star health inspection rating. Two CMS fines totaling $184,619 have been assessed; the Texas statewide median is $20,699.

What the data says
CMS rates staffing 2 stars here. Each resident receives about 183 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 58 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that total, only 14 minutes comes from a registered nurse; the Texas threshold for a 4-star staffing facility is 37 RN minutes per resident per day. About 32% of Texas nursing homes share this 2-star staffing rating.
Two CMS fines have been assessed totaling $184,619. The Texas statewide median fine amount across all facilities is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all. This total is roughly nine times the state median.
The facility is operating at approximately 35% of its licensed 188 beds — about 66 residents on an average day. Low occupancy at a facility that also carries safety and staffing concerns is a different situation than low occupancy at a high-performing facility; both conditions exist here simultaneously.

Questions to ask when you tour
Reason for low census
With only about 66 residents in a 188-bed building, ask management what has driven occupancy to 35% and whether any beds are held back for a specific reason.
How $184,619 in fines was resolved
Two CMS fines totaling $184,619 — nearly nine times the Texas median — ask what the violations were and what specific changes were made in response.
RN coverage on evenings and weekends
Reported RN hours average 14 minutes per resident per day; ask how many registered nurses are on duty during evenings, nights, and weekends specifically.
Weekend staffing levels
CMS data shows weekend nursing hours of 2.77 hours per resident per day versus 3.05 on weekdays — ask how weekend scheduling differs and whether staffing ratios change.
Management company's role
The licensed owner is Winniestowell Hospital District, but day-to-day management is held by 1751 N 15th St Opco LLC — ask who is accountable for staffing decisions and resident care quality.
Resident Council activity
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets and how family members can raise concerns formally.
