Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Reason for low occupancy

    With about 41 of 83 beds occupied, ask what's driving the low census — whether it reflects staffing limits, reduced admissions, or community demand.

  2. Staffing on weekends

    CMS data shows weekend nursing hours drop to about 165 minutes per resident — ask how staffing levels are maintained on Saturdays and Sundays.

  3. No Family Council in place

    There is no Family Council reported here; ask whether one is planned and how families currently raise concerns about care.

  4. Details on the two fines

    Two CMS fines totaling $15,033 are on record — ask what the citations were for and what changes were made afterward.

  5. Hospital district oversight structure

    The facility is operated by Parmer County Hospital District; ask how the district board oversees day-to-day operations and care decisions.
