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 2 stars on staffing — a tier shared by about 32% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 205 minutes of nursing care per day, about 36 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
Despite the staffing rating, nursing staff turnover is unusually low. About 3 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — below the 25th-percentile cutoff for Texas, meaning turnover is better than roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. RN turnover is also low, with about 2 in 10 RNs departing in the past year. Residents are less likely here to cycle through multiple primary caregivers than at most Texas facilities.
Two administrators have left in the past year — a level of leadership change that residents and frontline staff tend to feel in daily operations.
CMS issued 2 fines totaling $35,552 since the most recent inspection cycle. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines; this facility's total is above the state median of $20,699.
The facility is operating at roughly 66% of its 198 licensed beds — 131 residents on an average day. That occupancy level is lower than most nursing homes run, and it coincides with the safety and administrative signals above.
The 5-star quality-measures rating for long-stay residents — the top tier — covers outcomes like pressure wounds, falls, and pain management for people living here long-term. Short-stay residents, typically those recovering from a hospitalization, rate 3 stars on the same measures.

Questions to ask when you tour
Two administrators in one year
Two administrators have left in the past 12 months — ask who is currently in the role, how long they have been here, and whether a permanent replacement is in place.
Staffing minutes per resident
Residents receive about 205 minutes of nursing care daily, about 36 minutes below the Texas 4-star threshold — ask how staffing levels are scheduled on nights and weekends.
Why occupancy is at 66%
The facility averages 131 residents against 198 licensed beds — ask what is driving the low census and whether any wings or units are currently closed.
Details on the two CMS fines
CMS issued 2 fines totaling $35,552 — ask what deficiencies triggered each fine and what specific corrective steps were taken.
Short-stay outcome differences
Long-stay quality measures rate 5 stars while short-stay rates 3 stars — ask what the facility's typical rehab length of stay is and what its discharge-to-home rate looks like.
Resident Council access
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how families raise concerns formally and how often family input is solicited by staff.
