What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star. Each resident receives about 205 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 36 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, where the threshold is 241 minutes. About 38% of Texas nursing homes share this 1-star staffing rating. Of those 205 daily minutes, only 14 come from a registered nurse; the Texas 4-star threshold for RN time alone is 37 minutes. Residents here tend to need more hands-on help than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so those nursing hours stretch thinner than the raw numbers already suggest.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours average 2.9 hours per resident per day — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor during overnight and weekend shifts specifically.
RN coverage during the day
CMS records show about 14 minutes of registered-nurse time per resident per day; ask which hours an RN is physically present in the building.
Management company's role
The licensed owner is Coryell County Memorial Hospital Authority, but day-to-day management is listed under Uptown Fs LLC — ask what decisions each entity controls and who to contact with care concerns.
How care plans are reviewed
Quality-of-care measures rate 2 stars despite a 3-star health inspection — ask how frequently care plans are updated and who leads those reviews.
Resident Council frequency and access
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets and how families receive information about concerns raised there.
