What the data says
CMS rates this facility 1 star on staffing — the bottom tier among Texas nursing homes, a group that accounts for about 38% of facilities statewide. Each resident receives roughly 199 minutes of total nursing care per day, about 42 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical nursing home — they tend to be sicker or less mobile on average — which means those 199 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests. Registered nurse time is 18 minutes per resident per day, against a 37-minute threshold for 4-star-staffing facilities in Texas.
CMS has issued 2 fines totaling $26,987 since the facility's current inspection cycle. The Texas median fine total across penalized facilities is about $20,699, so this facility's penalty amount sits above the midpoint. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours here average about 178 minutes per resident per day — lower than the already-low weekday figure — so ask how many nurses and aides are on duty during off-peak hours.
What the two fines covered
CMS issued two fines totaling $26,987; ask what deficiencies triggered each penalty and what specific changes were made in response.
Registered nurse presence each day
Reported RN time is 18 minutes per resident per day; ask whether a registered nurse is physically on-site around the clock or only on-call during certain shifts.
How care plans are reviewed
The facility's outcome quality rating is 2 stars despite bottom-tier staffing; ask how frequently care plans are updated and who leads that process.
Resident Council meeting schedule
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how family members can formally raise concerns and how often the Resident Council meets.
Management company's role in daily operations
The licensed owner is Frio Hospital District while day-to-day operations run through Golfcrest Operating, LLC; ask which entity sets staffing budgets and handles complaint resolution.
