What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 2 stars — residents receive about 195 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 46 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. About 32% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating. Of those 195 daily minutes, only 16 come from a registered nurse; the 4-star threshold in Texas is 37 RN minutes per day. The remaining care is delivered by licensed vocational nurses and aides.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing on nights and weekends
Reported weekend nursing hours (2.97 per resident per day) are lower than weekday figures — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty Saturday and Sunday nights.
Registered nurse coverage each day
RN hours average 16 minutes per resident per day; ask whether a registered nurse is physically present on every shift or available on call.
How care plans are reviewed
Quality measures rate 5 stars while staffing rates 2 — ask who conducts care-plan reviews and how often they are updated when a resident's condition changes.
Management company's role
The licensee is a hospital district authority but day-to-day operations are run by CHP Gracy Woods II Opco — ask which entity sets staffing levels and handles complaints.
Resident Council meeting access
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how families are notified of council meetings and how they can raise concerns formally.
