What the data says

CMS rates staffing here at 3 stars. Each resident receives about 201 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 40 minutes less than the daily average at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of those 201 minutes, only 22 come from a registered nurse; the Texas threshold for 4-star staffing is 37 RN minutes per day. About 19% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating.

The facility sits at 70% of licensed beds — about 42 residents in a 60-bed building. Occupancy at this level can reflect a range of circumstances; it means there is likely no waitlist for admission at this time.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Short-stay outcomes at 2 stars

    CMS rates short-stay quality outcomes 2 stars — ask which specific measures drive that score and what the facility is doing to address them.

  2. Daily RN coverage on the floor

    Reported RN hours average 22 minutes per resident per day; ask how many hours a registered nurse is physically present in the building each day.

  3. Why occupancy is at 70%

    The facility averages about 42 residents in a licensed 60-bed building — ask whether that reflects a recent census shift and how staffing levels adjust as occupancy changes.

  4. Weekend staffing levels

    Reported weekend nursing hours run lower than weekday hours; ask how the staffing schedule and supervisor coverage differ on weekends and holidays.

  5. Resident Council activity

    The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how family members currently raise concerns or receive updates outside of individual care conferences.
