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 4 stars — placing this facility in roughly the top 9% of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Each resident receives about 261 minutes of nursing care per day, which exceeds the 241-minute threshold for a 4-star staffing rating in Texas. The resident mix here requires less hands-on care than at a typical facility, so those hours stretch further than the raw minutes already suggest.
About 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff of 42%, meaning turnover here is better than roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. RN turnover follows the same pattern: approximately 3 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year, also in the low tier for Texas.
One administrator has turned over in the past year. A single change sits between typical and high — not the repeated churn of a high-turnover flag, but a new administrator still finding the role.
A single CMS fine of $16,449 has been assessed. Texas's median fine total is $20,699, and about 30% of facilities in the state have no fines at all.
The facility is operating at about 68% of its 75 licensed beds — roughly 51 residents on an average day. That level of vacancy, alongside the other signals here, is a data point families may want to raise directly.

Questions to ask when you tour
Reason for low occupancy
With roughly 51 of 75 beds filled on an average day, ask what is driving the vacancy and whether it reflects a staffing choice, referral patterns, or something else.
New administrator's tenure
An administrator changed in the past year — ask how long the current administrator has been in the role and what their background in nursing-home management is.
How the $16,449 fine was resolved
CMS assessed one fine of $16,449; ask what deficiency triggered it and what specific changes were made in response.
Brookdale's involvement in daily operations
The facility operates under the Brookdale Senior Living chain — ask which staffing, training, and care decisions are made locally versus directed by the chain.
Resident Council activity
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets and how family members can raise concerns outside of that channel.
