Federal inspection record
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.

What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 4 stars — placing this facility among roughly the top 9% of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Each resident receives about 276 minutes of nursing care per day, which exceeds the 241-minute threshold for a 4-star staffing rating in Texas. The staff hours per resident also run above what the resident mix would typically require, meaning the staffing picture here is favorable relative to the actual demands of care.
Three administrators have left in the past year. Leadership continuity affects how consistently care policies are followed and how quickly staff concerns get resolved. Karen Buck is the current administrator of record.
Two CMS fines totaling $22,486 have been assessed — slightly above Texas's median fine total of $20,699 across facilities that have been fined. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.
The facility is operating at 96% of its 44 licensed beds — effectively full. A waitlist is likely, and bed availability may be limited on short notice.
