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 Prairie Estates 1 star on staffing — the bottom tier among Texas nursing homes, a rating shared by roughly 38% of facilities in the state. Each resident receives about 202 minutes of nursing care per day, approximately 39 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those 202 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. RN coverage specifically runs about 25 minutes per resident per day, compared to 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing Texas facility.
Prairie Estates has received 2 CMS fines totaling $24,587 in the period covered by the current data. The state median for fined facilities in Texas is roughly $20,699; about 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.
One administrator left in the past year — a single transition, which CMS data records but does not classify as high instability. Administrator continuity affects how consistently policies and care routines are carried out.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours average 2.84 minutes per resident per day — lower than the already-low weekday figure; ask how many nurses and aides are on duty during nights and weekends.
How the 1-star staffing score is being addressed
CMS rates staffing here 1 star, the lowest tier; ask management what specific steps are underway to increase nursing coverage and over what timeline.
RN presence on the floor
Reported RN hours work out to about 25 minutes per resident per day; ask how many hours a registered nurse is physically present and whether an RN is on site overnight.
Background on the two CMS fines
Two fines totaling $24,587 appear in CMS records; ask what each citation was for and what changes were made in response.
Administrator transition and current leadership
One administrator departed in the past year; ask how long the current administrator has been in the role and whether any further leadership changes are expected.
Resident Council activity and family involvement
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how often it meets, whether family members may attend, and how concerns raised there get resolved.
