What the data says
CMS rates this facility 3 stars on staffing — a tier shared by roughly 19% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives about 224 minutes of nursing care per day, approximately 17 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that total, registered nurses account for 23 minutes per resident per day, compared to the 37-minute threshold for a 4-star RN rating in Texas.
Overall nursing staff turnover runs at roughly 4 in 10 in the past year — below the Texas 25th-percentile cutoff of 42%, meaning turnover here is better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. RN turnover, however, reached 50%, which sits at the Texas median. The combination means the broader nursing team is relatively stable, but the registered nurse layer turns over at a higher rate.
One administrator has turned over in the past year. This is flagged as elevated — not the same as the two-or-more threshold that signals serious organizational disruption, but a transition nonetheless during which continuity of leadership is in flux.
CMS recorded 2 fines totaling $90,880 — well above the Texas median fine amount of $20,699. Roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes had zero fines in the same period.
The facility is operating at 53% of its 120 licensed beds, with about 64 residents on a given day. That low occupancy is present alongside fines above the state median and an administrator transition — context that makes it worth asking directly about current census trends and staffing levels relative to licensed capacity rather than current census.
On quality measures, the long-stay rating of 5 stars and the short-stay rating of 2 stars diverge significantly. Long-stay residents are those living at the facility permanently or for extended periods; short-stay residents are typically recovering from a hospital stay. The 2-star short-stay rating means outcomes for that population — things like whether residents were re-hospitalized or gained functioning — ranked in the bottom tier compared to Texas peers.

Questions to ask when you tour
Short-stay outcomes and rehospitalization
CMS rates short-stay outcomes 2 stars — ask which specific measures drove that rating and what the team has changed in response.
Details behind the two fines
Two CMS fines totaling $90,880 were assessed — ask what deficiencies triggered each fine and how they were corrected.
Administrator transition and current leadership
One administrator turned over in the past year — ask who is currently in that role, how long they have been in place, and who provides day-to-day oversight.
RN coverage on evenings and weekends
RN turnover reached 50% in the past year — ask how many registered nurses are on shift during evenings, nights, and weekends specifically.
Reason for low occupancy
The facility is running at 53% of licensed beds — ask whether that reflects reduced admissions, a recent regulatory pause, or another operational factor.
Staffing levels relative to current census
Nursing hours are reported per resident — ask whether staffing schedules adjust when census drops, or whether hours are fixed to licensed bed count.
