About this community
St Teresa Nursing & Rehab Center is a 124-bed nursing home in El Paso, TX, certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. CMS rates it 1 star overall — the lowest possible — with a substantiated abuse or neglect finding within the past 36 months and three fines totaling $33,787 since its last inspection cycle. The facility is operating at roughly 98% of licensed capacity, meaning a waitlist is likely. Managed by Creative Solutions In Healthcare, Inc.

What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the lowest tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 209 minutes of nursing care per day, about 32 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so those 209 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect at this facility within the past 36 months. This is recorded on the federal Care Compare database and reflects a confirmed regulatory finding, not an allegation.
Three CMS fines totaling $33,787 have been assessed here. About 30% of Texas nursing homes received no fines in the same period, and $33,787 exceeds the Texas median fine total of $20,699.
Staff turnover runs low relative to state peers: roughly 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas nursing homes hit the 25th percentile at 42% turnover, so this facility falls below that threshold — better retention than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. RN turnover follows the same pattern, with roughly 3 in 10 registered nurses leaving in the past year. The stable staffing team and the 1-star staffing rating reflect different problems: who stays versus how many hours are on the floor each day.
At roughly 98% of licensed beds filled, this facility is effectively full. Families should expect a waitlist and ask about current wait times before making plans around availability.

Questions to ask when you tour
About the abuse finding
CMS has a substantiated abuse or neglect finding on record here — ask what happened, what changed, and how staff are trained and monitored now.
Staffing hours on nights and weekends
With 209 nursing minutes per resident per day at a 1-star staffing rating, ask specifically how many nurses and aides are on duty overnight and on weekends.
What the three fines covered
Three fines totaling $33,787 were assessed — ask which deficiencies triggered each fine and what corrective steps were taken.
Current waitlist and admission timeline
The facility is at 98% occupancy, so ask how long the current waitlist is and whether a specific bed type — Medicare or Medicaid — affects wait time differently.
Short-stay rehab outcomes
CMS rates short-stay quality measures at 1 star while long-stay rates 5 stars — ask how the facility tracks rehab progress and what its typical discharge-to-home rate looks like.
No Family Council on record
Only a Resident Council is listed; ask whether a Family Council exists or meets, and how family members can raise concerns if one doesn't.
