What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives about 219 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 22 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they are sicker or less mobile on average — so the same staffing hours stretch thinner than those raw minutes suggest.
One administrator has turned over in the past year. That is one more change than is typical and can affect consistency in how care plans are carried out day to day.
CMS recorded 2 fines totaling $18,889 — just below the Texas state median of $20,699 per facility that carries fines. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all.
The facility is operating at roughly 59% of its 75 licensed beds, with about 45 residents on a given day. That low occupancy, alongside the 1-star overall rating, is a concrete data point for families to weigh.

Questions to ask when you tour
How staffing hours are covered
With a 1-star CMS staffing rating and residents who require more intensive care on average, ask how many nurses and aides are on each shift on a typical weekday and weekend.
About the administrator transition
An administrator changed within the past year — ask who is currently in the role, how long they have been there, and who oversees day-to-day operations.
Why occupancy is low
The facility is at roughly 59% capacity with about 45 of 75 beds filled — ask whether recent changes in ownership, staffing, or admissions policies explain the vacancy level.
What the two CMS fines covered
Two fines totaling $18,889 are on record — ask what deficiencies triggered them and what changes were made in response.
How quality outcomes stay high
Quality-of-care outcomes rate 4 stars despite 1-star staffing — ask which specific measures drive that score and how care plans are monitored.
Resident Council access and frequency
A Resident Council meets here — ask how often it convenes, whether families can receive meeting summaries, and how concerns are escalated to management.
