What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star on staffing — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Nursing care hours per resident per day are not publicly reported for this facility, so a direct minute-count comparison to the 4-star Texas threshold of 241 minutes isn't possible from the available data.
One administrator has left in the past year. A change at the top of a facility's management can affect scheduling, staffing decisions, and how quickly resident concerns get addressed.
Three CMS fines totaling $60,212 have been issued. The Texas median for fined facilities is about $20,699 — this facility's total is roughly three times that figure. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.
The facility is operating at approximately 35% of its 89 licensed beds, with about 31 residents on a given day. Low occupancy at a nursing home can affect staffing schedules, programming, and the financial stability of operations.

Questions to ask when you tour
Current administrator tenure
One administrator has left in the past year — ask how long the current administrator has been in the role and whether leadership changes are expected.
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
With a 1-star CMS staffing rating, ask specifically how many nursing staff are on duty per shift, including overnight and weekend coverage.
The three CMS fines
Three fines totaling $60,212 have been issued — ask what deficiencies triggered each fine and what corrective steps were taken.
Why occupancy is low
About 31 of 89 beds are filled — ask whether that reflects a planned census target, recent admissions stops, or other factors affecting operations.
Staffing hours per resident
Daily nursing hours per resident aren't publicly reported for this facility — ask for the current staffing ratio by shift so you can compare it yourself.
Family Council availability
State records show a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask whether families have a formal channel to raise concerns and how often it meets.
