Federal inspection record

33 health citations on file7 immediate-jeopardy findings17 from complaints3 federal fines totalling $144K2 payment denials

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.

About this community

Cascades at Galveston is a 150-bed Medicare/Medicaid nursing home in Galveston County, operated under a hospital district license and managed by Cascades At Senior Rehab, LP. CMS rates it 1 star overall, with 1-star health inspection and 2-star staffing ratings. Three CMS fines have totaled $143,836 since the most recent inspection cycle — nearly 7 times the Texas median of $20,699. Only about 61 of its 150 beds are occupied.

Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026

What the data says

CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars — each resident receives about 190 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 51 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility, so those 190 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests.

About 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — above the Texas 75th percentile of 60%, meaning turnover is higher than at roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. A long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.

Three CMS fines have totaled $143,836 — nearly 7 times the Texas median of $20,699, and roughly 70% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all. The health inspection rating stands at 1 star.

The facility is operating at roughly 41% of its licensed 150 beds, with about 61 residents on a given day. That low occupancy, set alongside the 1-star health inspection rating, high turnover, and fine total, is part of the same record.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Behind the $143,836 in fines

    Ask what the three CMS violations were, what corrective steps followed, and whether any repeat deficiencies appeared in the most recent inspection.

  2. Staffing on nights and weekends

    Reported weekend nursing hours run lower than weekday figures — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor on a Saturday night with 61 residents.

  3. Why so many beds are empty

    Only about 61 of 150 beds are occupied; ask what is driving that vacancy and whether any planned changes to admissions, ownership, or operations are underway.

  4. Nursing staff retention since last year

    Six in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — ask what specific steps management has taken since then and whether turnover has slowed.

  5. Short-stay outcomes rated 1 star

    CMS rates short-stay quality measures at 1 star; ask which specific outcomes — such as re-hospitalization or pain management — pulled the rating down.

  6. Administrator continuity going forward

    One administrator change is recorded in the past year; ask how long the current administrator Maurice Gaines has been in the role and whether any further leadership changes are expected.
