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. Ask the facility for the corrective-action plan filed with CMS, and consider contacting your state long-term care ombudsman for context.

What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Staffing hours per resident are not reported in the CMS data, so a precise minute-by-minute comparison isn't available. What is clear is that the 1-star designation reflects a significant gap from the staffing levels associated with higher-rated facilities in the state.
Despite the staffing rating, CMS scores quality of care at 5 stars overall — the top tier — with short-stay outcomes at 5 stars and long-stay outcomes at 4 stars. These ratings measure things like pain management, hospital readmissions, and how well residents maintain function. A facility can have lower staffing hours and still produce strong outcomes; these two signals point in different directions and the record doesn't resolve which will matter more for a given resident's situation.
One CMS fine totaling $11,168 is on record. The statewide median fine amount is $20,699, and 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
CMS rates staffing 1 star — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor during evenings, nights, and weekends, not just weekday day shifts.
How staffing hours are counted
CMS shows no reported nursing-hours data; ask whether agency or contract staff are included in those figures and how often they are used.
What the $11,168 fine covered
One CMS fine is on record; ask what deficiency it was tied to and what the facility changed in response.
Resident Council access and meeting schedule
A Resident Council meets here but no Family Council exists; ask how families are informed of concerns raised in those meetings.
Waitlist and admission timeline
The facility is running at about 107 of 119 licensed beds; ask whether there is a current waitlist and how quickly beds typically open.
Mustang Ridge's day-to-day role
The licensee is a hospital district, but day-to-day operations are managed by Mustang Ridge Healthcare — ask which entity sets staffing budgets and clinical policy.
