It holds a 4-star overall CMS rating, a 5-star quality-of-care rating, and state certification for 60 memory-care beds (current through August 2026).

What the data says

CMS rates staffing here at 3 stars — each resident receives about 209 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 32 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. About 19% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating. Of those 209 minutes, 25 are from registered nurses specifically.

About 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — below the Texas 25th-percentile cutoff of 42%, meaning turnover here is better than roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. One administrator has turned over in the past year, which sits at an elevated level relative to typical.

The facility is operating at 98% of its 160 licensed beds — effectively full. Prospective families should expect limited availability and plan accordingly.

CMS rates quality of care at 5 stars, the top tier, for long-stay residents. Health inspections came in at 3 stars. The facility has recorded zero fines and no substantiated abuse findings.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Current bed availability and waitlist

    At 98% occupancy across 160 beds, ask how long the current waitlist is and what triggers movement on it.

  2. Memory care admission process

    With 60 state-certified memory-care beds, ask what the assessment process looks like and whether those beds have a separate waitlist from general nursing beds.

  3. Administrator transition and continuity

    One administrator has turned over in the past year; ask who is currently in the role and how long they have been on-site.

  4. Weekend staffing levels

    Reported weekend nursing hours run at 2.95 hours per resident per day, below the weekday figure — ask how staffing is structured on Saturdays and Sundays.

  5. Management company role day to day

    The facility is licensed to the Texas Veterans Land Board but managed by Texas VSI, LLC — ask which entity handles staffing decisions, care planning, and complaint resolution.
