Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026
What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Residents receive roughly 187 minutes of nursing care per day, about 54 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also require more hands-on care than the typical Texas nursing home — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those 187 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
Two administrators have left in the past year. That level of leadership turnover affects scheduling, staffing decisions, and the consistency families experience when they call with questions.
One CMS fine totaling $16,280 was issued. That figure falls below the Texas median fine of $20,699 among facilities that received fines at all.
The facility is running at roughly 59% of its 100 licensed beds — about 59 residents on an average day. That is well below typical occupancy for Texas nursing homes and sits alongside the low staffing rating and recent administrator departures.

Questions to ask when you tour
Current administrator tenure
Two administrators have left in the past year — ask who is currently in charge, how long they have been in the role, and whether the position is considered permanent.
Staffing levels on weekends
Reported weekend nursing hours per resident are 2.74 — lower than the already low weekday figure — so ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor on a Saturday or Sunday.
Why occupancy is low
Only about 59 of 100 beds are occupied; ask whether the lower census reflects a recent admission pause, referral patterns, or something else that affects day-to-day operations.
Short-stay quality measures
The short-stay quality rating is 2 stars while long-stay rates 5 — ask what outcomes look like for residents coming in for post-hospital recovery rather than permanent residence.
Resident Council activity
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets and how families are kept informed of concerns raised there.
Ownership and management structure
The licensed owner is a hospital district while day-to-day management sits with Bay City I Enterprises, LLC — ask which entity makes staffing and budget decisions and who families should contact with complaints.
