What the data says

CMS rates staffing here at 4 stars — placing this facility in roughly the top 9% of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Each resident receives about 270 minutes of nursing care per day, which exceeds the 241-minute threshold for a 4-star staffing rating in Texas. The resident mix here is less dependent on average than at a typical facility, so those staffing hours stretch further than they would elsewhere.

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. For a long-stay resident, that translates to more continuity with the same caregivers over time.
