What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 217 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 24 minutes less than the daily average at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of those 217 minutes, only 12 come from a registered nurse; the Texas threshold for 4-star staffing is 37 RN minutes per resident per day. Residents here also tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those staffing hours stretch thinner than the raw numbers suggest.
One administrator has turned over in the past year. That is one change, not a revolving door, but it can affect care-plan continuity and staff morale in ways that take time to stabilize.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $5,734 over the period reflected in this record. Texas's median cumulative fine amount across nursing homes is about $20,700, so this facility's fine total sits well below the state midpoint.
The facility is operating at roughly 62% of its 166 licensed beds — about 103 residents on an average day. Paired with the 2-star staffing rating and below-average quality-measure scores, the lower occupancy is a data point families may want to ask about directly.

Questions to ask when you tour
Short-stay quality rating of 1 star
CMS rates short-stay outcomes at 1 star — ask which specific measures drive that rating and what the team is doing to address them.
RN coverage on a typical day
Reported RN hours average 12 minutes per resident per day; ask how many hours a registered nurse is physically on the floor and whether an RN is present evenings and weekends.
Recent administrator change
An administrator departure occurred in the past year — ask who the current administrator is, how long they have been in the role, and whether the leadership team is otherwise stable.
Why occupancy sits at 62%
The facility is running at roughly 62% of its licensed beds — ask whether that reflects a recent trend, a planned renovation, or something else affecting admissions.
Staffing on weekends
Reported weekend nursing hours run lower than weekday averages; ask how many nurses and aides are assigned per resident on Saturdays and Sundays.
Resident Council access
A Resident Council meets here but no Family Council is listed — ask how families are formally informed of concerns raised by residents, and whether family members can attend council meetings.
