Federal inspection record

19 health citations on file4 immediate-jeopardy findings10 from complaints2 federal fines totalling $29K

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 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 158 minutes of nursing care per day, about 83 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those 158 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests.

Two administrators have left in the past year. That level of leadership turnover affects scheduling, staff consistency, and how reliably care plans are followed through.

CMS has issued two fines totaling $29,325 since the facility's most recent inspection cycle. About 30% of Texas nursing homes carry no fines at all.

The facility is operating at roughly 58% of its 110 licensed beds — about 64 residents on an average day. That occupancy level, alongside the 1-star health inspection and staffing ratings, is a combination that warrants direct questions during a visit.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Staffing levels on nights and weekends

    With 158 daily nursing minutes per resident — 83 fewer than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas — ask specifically how many nurses and aides are on the floor during overnight and weekend shifts.

  2. Two administrators in one year

    Two administrators have departed in the past 12 months; ask who is currently in charge, how long they have been in the role, and whether a permanent administrator has been named.

  3. Health inspection deficiencies

    The facility holds a 1-star health inspection rating; ask to see the most recent state inspection report and which deficiencies are still under a plan of correction.

  4. Recent fines and corrective steps

    Two CMS fines totaling $29,325 have been levied; ask what violations prompted each fine and what specific changes were made afterward.

  5. Current occupancy and bed availability

    At roughly 58% occupancy — about 64 of 110 beds filled — ask whether the low census reflects recent discharges, a pause on new admissions, or another operational factor.

  6. Resident Council activity

    The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how often the Resident Council meets, who facilitates it, and how concerns raised there are documented and addressed.
