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.

About this community
Golden Villa is a 120-bed nursing home in Atlanta, Texas, licensed since 1971 and operated by Golden Villa Healthcare LLC under the Winniestowell Hospital District. CMS rates it 3 stars overall, with a 4-star staffing rating and a 5-star quality-measures rating for long-stay residents.

What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 4 stars — roughly the top 9% of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Each resident receives about 270 minutes of nursing care per day. The resident mix here requires less hands-on care than a typical facility, so those staffing hours go further than the raw minutes alone suggest.
RN turnover runs at roughly 3 in 10 registered nurses leaving in the past year — below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff, meaning RN retention is better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state.
Two CMS fines totaling $122,216 have been issued. The Texas median fine amount is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas facilities have no fines at all. These two fines together are nearly six times that median — a figure that stands apart from the otherwise strong staffing and quality numbers.
