What the data says
CMS rates Barton Valley 2 stars on staffing. Each resident receives about 226 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 15 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, which requires 241 minutes. About 32% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating. RN coverage comes to approximately 25 minutes per resident per day, compared with 37 minutes at the 4-star threshold in Texas.
Barton Valley is operating at roughly 66% of its 126 licensed beds — about 82 residents on a typical day. For context, a nursing home running this far below capacity can indicate referral patterns, local competition, or other factors families may want to explore directly with the facility.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours average 3.27 per resident per day versus 3.77 on weekdays — ask how many nurses and aides are scheduled overnight and on Saturdays and Sundays.
Why beds are less than two-thirds full
The facility is running at about 66% occupancy with 82 of 126 beds filled — ask what is driving that and whether the resident count has been stable or declining.
Short-stay outcome scores
CMS rates short-stay quality outcomes 1 star — the lowest tier — so ask which specific measures are below average and what the facility is doing to address them.
RN coverage during your parent's stay
Reported RN hours work out to about 25 minutes per resident per day; ask when a registered nurse is on-site and how quickly one can be reached after hours.
Nexion Health oversight and local leadership
Barton Valley is part of the Nexion Health chain — ask how often corporate or regional staff visit and who is the day-to-day decision-maker when issues arise.
Resident Council activity
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets, how findings are acted on, and whether families can attend or submit concerns.
