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 Vista Hills 2 stars on staffing — a rating shared by about 32% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 202 minutes of nursing care per day, about 39 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of those 202 minutes, only 20 are from a registered nurse; the Texas threshold for 4-star RN staffing is 37 minutes per resident per day.
One CMS fine of $40,465 has been assessed. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines; the state median for facilities that do receive fines is $20,699, putting this fine roughly twice the median.
The facility holds 120 licensed beds and averages 83 residents per day — an occupancy rate of about 70%. Many nursing homes in Texas run closer to capacity; available beds here may reflect demand, staffing levels, or local market factors.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Reported weekend nursing hours drop to 178 minutes per resident per day — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor during overnight and weekend shifts specifically.
What the $40,000 fine covered
CMS issued one fine of $40,465; ask which deficiency triggered it and what corrective steps have been completed since.
Why nearly a third of beds are empty
The facility runs at about 70% occupancy — ask whether that reflects recent admissions holds, staffing constraints, or another factor.
How the Resident Council operates
A Resident Council is listed but no Family Council; ask how family members raise concerns between scheduled care-plan meetings.
Creative Solutions' oversight of this location
Creative Solutions In Healthcare manages this facility — ask how frequently a regional or corporate supervisor visits and who the direct contact is for unresolved concerns.
