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 this facility 1 star on staffing — the lowest tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 163 minutes of total nursing care per day, about 78 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — on average more dependent or medically complex — so those 163 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests. RN coverage runs to about 17 minutes per resident per day against a 37-minute threshold for 4-star staffing in Texas.
About 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas nursing homes at the 75th-percentile cutoff see 60% annual turnover; this facility sits above that mark. A long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.
CMS has flagged this facility as a Special Focus candidate — a step below outright Special Focus Facility designation, signaling a documented pattern of serious deficiencies across multiple inspection cycles. Facilities at this designation level are under heightened state and federal scrutiny.
Five CMS fines total $164,986. The statewide median fine total is about $20,699, and roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all. This facility's fine total runs nearly eight times the state median.
The facility is operating at about 74% of its 116 licensed beds — 86 residents on an average day. High turnover and serious regulatory flags are present alongside low occupancy.
Despite the staffing and inspection ratings, CMS rates this facility 5 stars on long-stay quality measures and 4 stars on short-stay quality measures — the highest and second-highest tiers. Those measures track resident outcomes such as pressure wounds, falls with injury, and pain management. The gap between a 1-star staffing rating and 5-star outcome measures is an unusual combination in the data.

Questions to ask when you tour
SFF candidate designation and remediation plan
Ask what specific deficiencies triggered the Special Focus candidate designation and what concrete steps management has taken or scheduled to address them.
Five fines totaling $164,986
Ask what each of the five cited violations involved and whether corrective actions for any are still open or under monitoring.
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
With 163 total nursing minutes per resident per day — and weekend hours reported at 2.43 hours — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty during overnight and weekend shifts.
Caregiver continuity for long-stay residents
With roughly 7 in 10 nursing staff leaving in the past year, ask how the facility assigns consistent caregivers to residents who have been there longer than 90 days.
How high outcome scores coexist with low staffing
CMS rates quality outcomes 5 stars but staffing 1 star — ask how care planning and follow-through are structured to maintain those outcomes given current staffing levels.
Current occupancy and waitlist status
The facility averages 86 residents against 116 licensed beds; ask whether specific units or care levels have higher vacancy and what is driving the available capacity.
