What the data says
CMS rates this facility 2 stars on staffing — roughly the bottom third of Texas nursing homes on that measure. Each resident receives about 168 minutes of nursing care per day, which is 73 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they tend to be sicker or less mobile on average — so those 168 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
Approximately 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas's 75th-percentile cutoff for turnover is 60% — this facility's 70.7% sits above that. A long-stay resident is likely to go through multiple primary caregivers over the course of a year.
CMS issued 3 fines totaling $166,205. The Texas median for fines, among facilities that have any, is about $20,699 — this facility's total is roughly eight times that figure. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.
The facility is operating at approximately 70% of its licensed 120 beds, with an average of 84 residents per day. Lower occupancy alongside poor inspection and fine history is a pattern that can indicate difficulty attracting or retaining residents.

Questions to ask when you tour
Health inspection findings from CMS
CMS rates the health inspection record 1 star — ask what specific deficiencies were cited and what corrective steps have been completed since.
Context behind $166,205 in fines
Three fines totaling $166,205 have been assessed; ask which incidents triggered each fine and what policy changes followed.
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Reported weekend nursing hours are 2.5 hours per resident per day — lower than the weekday figure — so ask how staffing is structured on evenings and weekends specifically.
Staff continuity for long-stay residents
About 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year; ask how the facility assigns consistent caregivers to residents who have been there longer term.
Current bed availability and waitlist
The facility is at roughly 70% occupancy; ask whether specific care wings or Medicare versus Medicaid beds have different availability or admission timelines.
Management company's role day to day
The licensee is a hospital authority, but day-to-day operations run through Austin Wellness Operating LLC — ask who makes staffing and care-policy decisions and how the two entities coordinate.
