Federal inspection record
Immediate-jeopardy citations (CMS scope/severity J–L) are the most serious category federal inspectors issue — meaning a deficiency placed residents in immediate risk of serious harm. Ask the facility for the corrective-action plan filed with CMS, and consider contacting your state long-term care ombudsman for context.

About this community

CMS rates it 2 stars overall, with a 2-star health inspection rating. Five CMS fines have totaled $93,937 since the facility's data was last processed. Only 44 of its 104 licensed beds are occupied — a 42% occupancy rate that stands well below the norm for Texas nursing homes.

What the data says
CMS rates staffing 3 stars here. Each resident receives about 195 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 46 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, which sits at 241 minutes. Of those 195 minutes, only 20 come from a registered nurse; the Texas threshold for 4-star RN staffing is 37 minutes per resident per day.
Nursing staff turnover is exceptionally low: roughly 2 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. That figure falls well below the Texas 25th-percentile cutoff of 42% — better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. A long-stay resident is unlikely to cycle through many different primary caregivers.
Five CMS fines have totaled $93,937. The statewide median fine total is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all. This facility's fine total is more than four times the state median.
The facility is running at 42% of its 104 licensed beds — about 44 residents on an average day. That level of vacancy, alongside the overall 2-star rating and fine history, is a data point families may want to raise directly with staff.

With only 44 of 104 beds filled, ask staff what accounts for the low census and whether it affects daily staffing levels or available services.
Five CMS fines explained

Registered nurse coverage hours
