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 this facility 1 star on staffing — the lowest tier, shared by roughly 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives about 161 minutes of nursing care per day, approximately 80 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — sicker or less mobile on average — so those 161 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. RN coverage is 9 minutes per resident per day, against a 4-star threshold of 37 minutes in Texas.
Roughly 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — a very high turnover rate by Texas standards. Among registered nurses specifically, 8 in 10 left. A long-stay resident will likely cycle through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.
Three CMS fines totaling $38,235 have been issued. The state median for fined facilities in Texas is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all.
The facility is operating at roughly 109% of its licensed bed count — effectively full and then some. Expect a waitlist, and confirm current availability directly.
One administrator has turned over in the past year — a level CareWitness flags as elevated, though below the threshold of high administrative instability.

73% of nursing staff turned over in the past year — ask which caregivers have been here longer than 12 months and how continuity of care is managed.
Bed availability and waitlist status
The facility is reporting more residents than its 124 licensed beds; ask how current availability is determined and whether there is an active waitlist.
Details on the three CMS fines
Three fines totaling $38,235 have been assessed; ask what each citation was for and what changes were made in response.
New administrator's background and tenure
The administrator position turned over within the past year; ask how long the current administrator has been in place and what their prior experience is.
