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 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Residents receive roughly 210 minutes of nursing care per day, about 31 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. RN coverage is 10 minutes per resident per day; the 4-star threshold in Texas is 37 minutes. Residents who need more hands-on care than average will feel that gap more acutely.
Seven in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — a very high rate by Texas standards, above the state's 75th percentile. RN turnover is higher still: 9 in 10 registered nurses departed in the same period. A long-stay resident will likely cycle through multiple primary caregivers over the course of a year.
One administrator has turned over in the past year, placing leadership change at an elevated level. That layered on top of high nursing-staff departure rates means instability runs from the front line through management.
CMS issued one fine totaling $61,825. The state median fine amount among facilities that receive any fine is $20,699, so this single penalty is roughly three times the typical fine size in Texas. About 30% of Texas nursing homes received no fines in the same period.
Quality-of-care outcome measures rate 5 stars — the top tier — on both overall quality measures and long-stay measures specifically. Those scores reflect documented resident outcomes such as rates of falls, pressure injuries, and hospital readmissions, separate from staffing counts or inspection findings.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours here average 3.16 minutes per resident per day below weekday levels — ask exactly how many nurses and aides are on the floor on a Saturday night.
Why RN turnover reached 90%
Nine in 10 registered nurses left in the past year; ask what drove those departures and how many RN positions are currently filled versus open.
The $61,825 CMS fine
One federal fine of $61,825 was issued — ask what the cited deficiency was, what corrective steps were taken, and whether the citation has been cleared.
Administrator continuity going forward
One administrator turned over in the past year; ask how long the current administrator has been in the role and whether that person is expected to stay.
How 5-star outcomes are maintained
Outcome quality measures rate 5 stars despite 1-star staffing; ask which specific measures drive that score and how care plans are monitored day to day.
Current bed availability
The facility is running about 105 residents against 120 licensed beds — ask whether specific room types or care levels have a waitlist.
