What the data says
CMS rates Longhorn Village 1 star on staffing — the lowest tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Nursing hours data was not reported to CMS, so a precise daily-minutes figure isn't available; what is reported is that staffing falls below the threshold CMS uses to award 4 stars, where Texas facilities average 241 minutes of nursing care per resident per day. The 1-star staffing rating sits alongside a 5-star overall rating and perfect scores on health inspections and short-stay quality measures — an unusual pairing that the staffing numbers alone don't explain.
RN turnover is exceptionally low: roughly 1 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year, better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in Texas. Total nursing staff turnover sits at 49% — right at the Texas median of 50% — so the RN stability is the more distinctive figure here.
Two administrators have left in the past year. Residents and direct-care staff typically experience that kind of leadership change through shifting schedules, changing policies, and new supervisors.
The facility is operating at about 49% of its 60 licensed beds, with roughly 29.5 residents on an average day. That level of low occupancy at a facility with an otherwise strong inspection record is a factual standout in this record.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing hours per resident
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star but didn't receive reported nursing hours — ask how many hours of nursing care each resident receives on a typical day.
Two administrators in one year
Two administrators left in the past 12 months — ask who is currently in the role, how long they've been here, and what drove the turnover.
Why beds are half-empty
The facility averages about 30 residents in 60 licensed beds — ask what accounts for the low census and whether that affects staffing levels or available services.
How the 5-star rating is sustained
A 5-star overall score alongside a 1-star staffing rating is uncommon — ask how care quality is maintained and how staffing is scheduled across the week.
Resident Council participation
There is a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how families are kept informed of care changes or concerns raised by residents.
