Federal inspection record

7 health citations on file1 immediate-jeopardy finding2 from complaints1 federal fine totalling $39K

Immediate-jeopardy citations (CMS scope/severity J–L) are the most serious category federal inspectors issue — meaning a deficiency placed residents in immediate risk of serious harm. Ask the facility for the corrective-action plan filed with CMS, and consider contacting your state long-term care ombudsman for context.

The license is active through May 2028.

What the data says

CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Daily nursing-care hours per resident aren't reported to CMS for this facility, so a direct minute-by-minute comparison isn't possible; what the rating reflects is a staffing level CMS considers below standard relative to the resident mix here.

Total nursing-staff turnover runs at about 4 in 10 over the past year — below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff of 42%, meaning turnover is better than roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. RN turnover, however, sits at 66.7%, which is a different pattern: the registered nurses who coordinate care plans and handle the most complex medical needs are leaving at a substantially higher rate than the broader nursing team.

CMS issued one fine totaling $38,877. The state median fine amount among Texas facilities that receive any fine is about $20,699, so this single citation landed above the midpoint. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.

This facility is running at roughly 54% occupancy against its certified bed count — about 32 residents in a home licensed for 60 certified beds. Low occupancy paired with a 1-star staffing rating and an above-median fine is a combination that warrants direct questions about current staffing levels and recent inspection outcomes.

The quality-measures rating is 5 stars — the highest tier — covering tracked outcomes such as falls with injury, pressure wounds, and pain management for long-stay residents. That rating contrasts with the 1-star staffing score; the two numbers describe different things and can coexist.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Current staffing levels and scheduling

    With a 1-star CMS staffing rating and nursing-hours data not reported, ask how many nursing staff are on each shift today and how open shifts are filled.

  2. Why RN turnover runs high

    Overall staff turnover is low, but registered-nurse turnover hit 66.7% last year — ask what drove those departures and how many RNs are currently on staff.

  3. The $38,877 fine

    CMS issued one fine totaling $38,877; ask what the citation was for, what corrective steps were taken, and whether the deficiency has been closed.

  4. Current census and waitlist status

    The facility is running at about 54% occupancy; ask whether that reflects a planned reduction in admissions, staffing constraints, or another factor.

  5. Resident and family council access

    Council status isn't on file for this facility — ask whether a Resident Council or Family Council meets, and how residents and families raise concerns.
