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.

About this community
Eagle Crest Rapid Recovery is a 125-bed Medicare/Medicaid nursing home in Houston (Harris County), licensed through April 2026 and managed by Darlene Investment Group Cypress Inc under a Hospital District licensee. CMS rates it 2 stars overall — 1 star on both health inspections and staffing. Three fines totaling $40,221 have been assessed. Quality-of-care outcome measures rate 5 stars, an unusual pairing with the low inspection and staffing scores. The facility is currently running at about 62% of licensed capacity.

What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by roughly 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives about 186 minutes of nursing care per day, approximately 55 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so those 186 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
Roughly 8 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — a very high turnover rate. Among registered nurses specifically, roughly 9 in 10 turned over in the same period. At that pace, a long-stay resident will likely cycle through two or three primary caregivers. Texas nursing homes at the 75th percentile of turnover stand at 60%; this facility is well above that.
CMS has recorded 3 fines totaling $40,221 since the facility's inspection record. The state median fine total for Texas nursing homes that receive any fines is about $20,699, so this facility's cumulative penalty is roughly double that median.
Occupancy sits at about 62% of licensed beds — 77 residents in a 125-bed facility. Other signals in this record suggest distress, and low occupancy in that context can reflect reduced referrals from hospitals or discharge planners who track facility performance.
The quality-of-care outcome ratings — 5 stars for long-stay measures and 4 stars for short-stay — are the strongest part of this record. Those scores come from clinical data reported by the facility itself and reflect things like pressure wounds, falls with injury, and hospital readmissions. They sit in sharp contrast to the 1-star health inspection and staffing ratings, which come from CMS-conducted inspections and audited payroll data.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on evenings and weekends
Weekend nursing hours average 2.67 minutes per resident per hour — below the already-low weekday figure; ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor on a Saturday night.
RN turnover and continuity
Roughly 9 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year; ask which RNs have been here longer than 12 months and who provides clinical oversight on each shift.
Cause of the three CMS fines
Three fines totaling $40,221 have been assessed; ask what deficiencies triggered each penalty and what corrective steps have been taken since.
Why occupancy is at 62%
The facility is running at about 62 of 125 beds; ask whether local hospitals and discharge planners are actively placing patients here and what accounts for the available capacity.
How outcome scores stay high despite low staffing
Quality-of-care outcome measures rate 5 stars while staffing rates 1 star; ask how the facility tracks pressure wounds, falls, and hospital readmissions with current staffing levels.
Management company's role day to day
The facility is licensed to a Hospital District but managed by Darlene Investment Group Cypress Inc; ask which entity sets staffing budgets and handles regulatory compliance.
