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.

About this community

CMS rates it 3 stars overall, with a 4-star quality-of-care rating for long-stay residents but 2 stars for short-stay.

What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 3 stars — about 197 minutes of nursing care per resident per day, roughly 44 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical Texas nursing home — less mobile or sicker on average — so those 197 minutes stretch thinner in practice than the number alone suggests.
Roughly 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. That sits below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff, meaning turnover is better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. RN turnover runs at a similarly low rate — about 3 in 10 — also below the state's 25th percentile.
Two CMS fines totaling $235,557 have been issued. The state median fine total across penalized Texas facilities is about $20,699; this facility's total is roughly 11 times that figure. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.

Questions to ask when you tour
Nature of the two CMS fines
Ask what specific deficiencies led to the $235,557 in CMS fines and what corrective steps were taken.
Short-stay care and outcomes
The short-stay quality rating is 2 stars — ask which specific measures drive that rating and how the facility tracks improvement for rehabilitation patients.
Staffing levels on weekends
Weekend nursing hours per resident run at 2.88 minutes below the weekday figure — ask how staffing is structured on Saturdays and Sundays.
Resident and family council
No resident or family council information is on file with CMS — ask whether either council currently meets and how family concerns are formally raised.
Management company's role day to day
The facility is licensed to a hospital district but managed by Mockingbird Healthcare — ask which entity sets staffing budgets, hires staff, and handles complaints.
Waitlist and bed availability
With 102.9 residents occupying 120 licensed beds — about 86% occupancy — ask whether there is currently a waitlist for the care level your parent requires.
