What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the lowest tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 180 minutes of nursing care per day, about 61 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also require more hands-on help than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so those 180 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. RN coverage averages 25 minutes per resident per day, compared to 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing facility in the state.
About 38 of 55 licensed beds are filled — roughly 68% occupancy. For context, most nursing homes in this region operate closer to capacity; this level of vacancy can reflect local rural demographics, care mix, or other factors specific to this facility.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on evenings and weekends
With a 1-star staffing rating and weekend nursing hours averaging 2.25 hours per resident per day, ask how many nurses and aides are on duty during nights and weekends.
RN presence and coverage hours
Reported RN time is 25 minutes per resident per day — ask whether a registered nurse is on-site around the clock or only during daytime shifts.
Reason for current occupancy level
At 68% occupancy in a 55-bed facility, ask what's driving the vacancy — whether it reflects staffing limits, referral patterns, or something else.
Long-stay care outcome measures
CMS rates long-stay quality measures at 2 stars while short-stay rates 5 stars — ask which specific long-stay measures fell below average and what the facility is doing about them.
Resident Council participation
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how family members can raise concerns and how often the Resident Council meets.
Infection control deficiencies
Two infection control citations appear in the CMS record — ask what practices were cited and what changes have been made since the inspection.
