What the data says

CMS rates staffing here 5 stars — the top 1.98% of Texas nursing homes on this measure. Each resident receives about 212 minutes of nursing care per day, including 45 minutes of registered-nurse time. Staff hours per resident exceed what a typical resident mix would require, meaning the workload on staff is lighter than the raw minutes might suggest — residents here tend to need less hands-on care than at a typical facility.

Nursing staff turnover is exceptionally low: roughly 2 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year, better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in Texas. RN turnover runs at the same rate — 2 in 10 — also in the exceptionally low tier. A long-stay resident is unlikely to cycle through multiple primary caregivers.

One administrator has left in the past year. That is elevated relative to what the pre-compute step treats as baseline, so it is worth understanding who is currently in the director role and how long they have been in place.

The health inspection rating is 2 stars, the lowest component rating in this facility's CMS profile. A single CMS fine of $50,359 is on record — roughly 2.4 times the Texas median fine of $20,699, and about 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all.

The facility is operating at approximately 38% of its 105 licensed beds, with about 40 residents on any given day. That is well below typical occupancy levels.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Health inspection rating of 2 stars

    The health inspection rating is 2 stars while staffing rates 5 — ask which specific deficiencies drove that gap and what has changed since the last inspection.

  2. Fine of $50,359 on record

    One CMS fine totaling $50,359 — about 2.4 times the Texas median — ask what the citation was for and how the facility resolved it.

  3. Recent administrator departure

    One administrator left in the past year; ask how long the current administrator has been in the role and whether leadership is expected to remain stable.

  4. Why occupancy is so low

    With roughly 40 residents in a 105-bed building, ask whether low census reflects a recent ownership transition, staffing changes, or planned unit closures.

  5. Management company and county licensee

    The facility is licensed to county entity Oakbend Medical Center but operated by Bay City Nursing & Rehabilitation LLC — ask how day-to-day decisions are divided between the two.

  6. Care planning and outcome review

    Staffing is strong but the quality-measure rating is 4 stars, not 5 — ask how often care plans are reviewed and who leads those meetings.
