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 1 star — the bottom tier among Texas nursing homes, a designation shared by about 38% of facilities in the state. Each resident receives approximately 184 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 57 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or sicker on average — so those 184 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
About 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — above Texas's 75th-percentile cutoff of 60%, meaning turnover here exceeds at least three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. A long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.
One administrator has left in the past year. This is one departure, not a pattern, but it is a change in day-to-day leadership.
The facility received one CMS fine totaling $13,397. Texas's median fine amount across facilities with any fine is $20,699, so this fine falls below the state midpoint.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on evenings and weekends
CMS reports weekend nursing hours here at 2.73 per resident per day — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor on a typical weekend evening shift.
How caregiver continuity is maintained
With roughly 6 in 10 nursing staff turning over last year, ask how the facility assigns consistent caregivers to residents and handles transitions when staff leave.
Administrator transition and current leadership
One administrator departed in the past year — ask who holds that role now, how long they have been in place, and what their background is.
RN presence during off-hours
Reported RN hours average about 15 minutes per resident per day — ask whether a registered nurse is on-site at night and on weekends, or on-call.
Short-stay rehabilitation outcomes
CMS rates short-stay quality measures 2 stars here while long-stay rates 5 stars — ask what the facility's typical discharge-to-home rate is for rehab patients.
Details behind the 2023–2025 fine
The facility received one CMS fine totaling $13,397 — ask what deficiency triggered it and what process changes followed.
