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.

Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026
What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives approximately 163 minutes of nursing care per day, about 78 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — sicker, or less mobile on average — so those 163 minutes stretch thinner than they would elsewhere.
Two administrators have left in the past year. That level of leadership turnover affects how consistently policies are applied and how well staff know the residents in their care.
CMS issued one fine totaling $23,744 in the period covered by this record. That figure sits just above the Texas state median of $20,699 per facility fined.
About 68 residents occupy the 96 certified beds on an average day — a 71% occupancy rate. That is below the level typical for nursing homes in Texas.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing coverage on nights and weekends
CMS reports 163 total nursing minutes per resident per day and a weekend figure of roughly 146 minutes — ask how many nurses and aides are scheduled overnight and on Saturdays and Sundays.
Two administrators in one year
Two administrators have turned over in the past 12 months — ask who is currently in the role, how long they have been here, and whether a permanent hire is in place.
Why occupancy sits at 71%
Only about 68 of 96 certified beds are filled on a given day — ask what is driving the vacancy and whether any units or wings are currently closed.
How the 5-star outcome scores are achieved
CMS rates resident-outcome measures at 5 stars despite a 1-star staffing rating — ask which specific measures drive that score and how care plans are monitored.
Resident Council participation
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how families are formally notified of concerns raised in Resident Council meetings.
Licensee and management relationship
The licensee is Childress County Hospital District and the management company is a separate LLC — ask which entity makes day-to-day staffing and budget decisions.
