What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 174 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 67 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. About 18 of those minutes involve a registered nurse. Approximately 32% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating, so this is not the lowest tier, but the gap to better-resourced facilities is real.
About 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. The Texas median is 5 in 10, and the 75th-percentile cutoff — above which turnover is considered elevated — is 6 in 10, so this facility sits right at that boundary. A long-stay resident will likely go through several primary caregivers over the course of a year.
One administrator has turned over in the past year. That is a single change, but paired with high staff turnover it can signal unsettled leadership during a period of flux.
The facility is operating at roughly 53% of its 102 licensed beds — about 54 residents on an average day. This is notably below typical occupancy for Texas nursing homes. Low occupancy can affect staffing ratios in practice and the financial stability of the operation; it also means there is unlikely to be a waitlist.
The short-stay care outcome rating is 1 star — the lowest CMS assigns — while the long-stay rating is 5 stars. These two groups are measured separately: long-stay residents are people living here full time, while short-stay residents are typically recovering from a hospital stay. A 1-star short-stay score means outcomes for that recovering population rank poorly against other Texas nursing homes.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours here average about 2.4 hours per resident per day — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty overnight and on weekends specifically.
Why short-stay outcomes rate 1 star
CMS rates short-stay care outcomes at 1 star; ask which specific measures drove that score and what the facility has done in response.
Current administrator tenure
One administrator left in the past year — ask who is in the role now, how long they have been here, and whether they plan to stay.
What explains the low occupancy
The facility is running at about 53% of licensed beds; ask whether that reflects a recent census shift, referral changes, or a deliberate staffing-to-capacity decision.
How nursing staff retention is addressed
About 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — ask what specific steps management has taken to reduce turnover and how long the current care team has been in place.
