Federal inspection record

7 health citations on file2 immediate-jeopardy findings7 from complaints1 federal fine totalling $12K

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

North Houston Transitional Care is a 70-bed nursing home in Houston's Harris County, accepting Medicare and Medicaid. CMS rates it 3 stars overall, with a 1-star staffing rating — the lowest tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Quality-of-care outcomes rate 5 stars, the highest tier. The facility is licensed through October 2027 and is currently operating at about 92% of capacity.

Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026

What the data says

CMS rates staffing here 1 star. Each resident receives about 228 minutes of total nursing care per day — roughly 13 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. That gap is narrower than the rating suggests, but residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically dependent on average — so those 228 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number implies. RN coverage runs 18 minutes per resident per day, compared to 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing Texas facility.

About 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas nursing homes at the 75th percentile of turnover sit at 60% — this facility, at 61.1%, sits just above that threshold. A long-stay resident will likely cycle through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.

One administrator has turned over in the past year. This is a single change rather than a pattern of rapid succession, but it is a recent transition in facility leadership.

CMS recorded one fine totaling $11,508. That figure is below the Texas median fine of $20,699 among facilities that received fines; about 30% of Texas nursing homes received no fines at all.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Staffing levels on nights and weekends

    With a 1-star CMS staffing rating, ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor during overnight shifts and weekends specifically, since reported weekend hours here average 4.11 hours per resident.

  2. Continuity of caregiving staff

    With roughly 6 in 10 nursing staff leaving in the past year, ask how the facility assigns consistent aides to residents and what the current open-position count is.

  3. Recent administrator transition

    Leadership changed within the past year — ask who the current administrator is, how long they have been in the role, and what operational changes followed the transition.

  4. How 5-star outcomes are achieved

    Long-stay quality outcomes rate 5 stars despite a 1-star staffing rating — ask what care processes or staffing structures the facility credits for that result.

  5. Waitlist and bed availability

    The facility is running at about 92% of its 70 licensed beds; ask whether a waitlist exists and what the typical wait time is for a Medicare-covered admission.

  6. Resident Council scope and meeting frequency

    A Resident Council exists but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets, who attends from management, and how families can formally raise concerns.
