What the data says

CMS rates staffing here 5 stars — the top 2% of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Each resident receives about 363 minutes of nursing care per day, well above the 241-minute threshold for a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Staff hours per resident also exceed what a typical resident mix would require, meaning the high minute counts reflect genuinely abundant staffing rather than a lighter-than-average resident load.

Roughly 2 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — below the Texas 25th-percentile cutoff of 42%, better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. RN turnover runs at the same rate: 2 in 10. A long-stay resident here is less likely to cycle through a series of unfamiliar caregivers than at most Texas facilities.

Twelve CMS fines totaling $57,184 have been assessed. The Texas median across all fined facilities is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all. That fine count — 12 — is high even relative to facilities that do carry fines.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. What drove the 12 fines

    Twelve CMS fines totaling $57,184 were assessed here — ask what categories of deficiency triggered them and what corrective steps followed.

  2. Long-stay quality measures rated 2 stars

    CMS rates short-stay quality measures 5 stars but long-stay measures 2 stars — ask which specific long-stay outcomes scored poorly and how the facility is addressing them.

  3. Medicare-only admission criteria

    All 37 beds are Medicare-certified with no Medicaid beds — ask what happens to a resident whose Medicare benefit runs out and whether private pay or other coverage is accepted.

  4. Resident Council participation

    The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how family members surface concerns and who they contact when the resident cannot advocate independently.

  5. Waitlist and bed availability

    With 31.9 residents on average in a 37-bed facility, occupancy runs at roughly 86% — ask whether there is currently a waitlist or how quickly a bed typically opens.
