What the data says
CMS rates this facility 1 star on staffing — the bottom tier. Each resident receives about 176 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 65 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they are sicker or less mobile on average — so those 176 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. RN coverage specifically comes to about 20 minutes per resident per day, against 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing Texas facility.
About 7 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year — the highest turnover tier measured. A long-stay resident will likely cycle through several primary RN caregivers. Total nursing staff turnover sits at 50.7%, near the Texas median, but the RN figure drives the practical instability.
Two administrators have left in the past year — a level of leadership churn that residents and frontline staff typically feel in daily operations.
CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect at this facility within the past 36 months. CMS has also flagged it as a Special Focus Facility candidate — one step below the worst-performing designation, signaling a documented pattern of serious deficiencies.
Six CMS fines total $376,390. The Texas median for fined facilities is about $20,699; 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all. This facility's total is more than 18 times the state median.
The facility is operating at roughly 50% of its 157 licensed beds — about 78 residents on an average day. Paired with the safety flags, the staffing shortfalls, and the fine history, the low occupancy reflects conditions documented in the record rather than available capacity in the ordinary sense.
