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.

What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 186 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 55 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, which sits at 241 minutes. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — sicker or less mobile on average — so those 186 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
Staff turnover runs at the low end for Texas. Roughly 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — below the state's 25th-percentile cutoff of 42%, meaning better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in Texas. RN turnover is 2 in 10, which is exceptionally low by state standards. A long-stay resident is less likely to cycle through multiple primary caregivers here than at most Texas facilities.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $8,193 since the last processing date. The state median for fines among penalized Texas facilities is $20,699, and 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all. One fine at this dollar amount falls at the lower end of what CMS assesses.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours average 2.796 per resident per day — lower than the reported weekday figure; ask which roles are reduced and how call-outs are covered.
RN presence on each shift
Reported RN hours work out to about 23 minutes per resident per day; ask whether a registered nurse is on-site around the clock or available only by phone overnight.
How the staffing gap is managed
With a 2-star staffing rating despite 5-star quality outcomes, ask what scheduling or care-coordination practices the team uses to maintain those results with current staffing levels.
Resident Council involvement
A Resident Council meets here but no Family Council exists; ask how the facility collects and responds to input from family members who want to raise concerns.
Relationship between licensee and management company
The licensed operator is Frio Hospital District while day-to-day management runs through ML Cedar Park LLC; ask who makes staffing and budget decisions and who a family should contact with a serious complaint.
Bed availability and waitlist
Average daily occupancy is about 108 of 120 beds; ask whether there is currently a waitlist and how long placement typically takes from inquiry.
