What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier among Texas nursing homes, a designation shared by about 38% of facilities in the state. Residents receive roughly 178 minutes of nursing care per day, about 63 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. The gap is wider in practice than the raw number suggests: residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they are sicker or less mobile on average — so those 178 minutes stretch thinner than they would elsewhere.
RN turnover is the staffing signal worth examining most closely. About 7 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year. A resident who relies on RN-level assessments or wound care will likely encounter multiple different nurses over the course of a year.
One administrator has left in the past year. That is one change, not a pattern of instability, but leadership transitions affect how consistently policies are carried out at the floor level.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $16,920 — below the Texas state median fine of $20,699 for facilities that received any fine at all. About 30% of Texas nursing homes received no fines in the same period.
Quality measures rate 4 stars — both long-stay and short-stay scores. That rating reflects outcomes like pressure wounds, falls with injury, and rehospitalization rates, drawn from clinical records submitted to CMS.

Questions to ask when you tour
RN coverage on evenings and weekends
With an RN turnover rate of roughly 71% last year, ask how many registered nurses are on duty during evenings, nights, and weekends, and how vacancies are covered.
How the staffing shortage is addressed
CMS records 178 minutes of daily nursing care per resident — 63 minutes below the 4-star threshold for Texas; ask which specific roles are being recruited and what the current vacancy count is.
Administrator transition and leadership stability
One administrator left in the past year; ask who is currently in the role, how long they have been in place, and whether a permanent replacement has been named.
What drove the $16,920 CMS fine
CMS issued one fine totaling $16,920; ask what deficiency triggered it, what corrective steps were taken, and whether the issue has been verified as resolved.
How 4-star quality outcomes are sustained
Quality measures rate 4 stars despite a 1-star staffing rating; ask how care plans are reviewed and who is accountable for tracking outcomes like pressure wounds and rehospitalizations.
Current bed availability and waitlist
The facility is running at roughly 88% of its 120 licensed beds; ask whether the specific bed type needed — long-stay or short-term rehabilitation — has current availability.
