What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 3 stars — each resident receives about 208 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 33 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. That puts this facility in the bottom fifth of Texas nursing homes on staffing, by the CareWitness state-relative measure. Notably, the resident mix here requires less hands-on care than average, so the staffing hours stretch further than they would at a facility with more dependent residents — the gap to the 4-star threshold is smaller in practice than the raw minutes suggest.
About 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — at or just above Texas's 75th-percentile cutoff for turnover, meaning roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in the state have lower turnover. RN turnover is higher still: about 8 in 10 registered nurses left over the same period. A long-stay resident is likely to cycle through multiple primary caregivers.
One CMS fine totaling $147,878 was assessed here. The Texas median fine across facilities that received any fine is $20,699, making this penalty more than seven times the state median. Roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.

Questions to ask when you tour
Details behind the $147,878 fine
Ask what the single CMS fine cited — and what corrective steps have been taken since, given the penalty is more than seven times the Texas median.
RN staffing on evenings and weekends
With weekend nursing hours averaging 2.95 hours per resident per day and an RN turnover rate of about 8 in 10 annually, ask how many registered nurses are on duty during off-peak shifts.
How staff continuity is maintained
Six in 10 nursing staff left in the past year; ask which specific steps the facility uses to assign consistent caregivers to long-stay residents despite that turnover.
Management company's role day-to-day
The facility is licensed to a hospital district but operated by Amarillo Vi Enterprises — ask which entity sets staffing levels, hires administrators, and handles complaints.
Resident Council access and frequency
A Resident Council meets here but no Family Council exists; ask how families are formally notified of concerns raised in Resident Council meetings.
