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
Richard A Anderson Texas State Veterans Home is a 120-bed state-government-operated nursing home in Houston, Harris County, serving veterans, with all beds certified for Medicare and Medicaid.

What the data says
CMS rates this facility 4 stars on staffing. Each resident receives about 247 minutes of nursing care per day — above the 241-minute threshold for a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Staff hours per resident exceed what the resident mix would typically require, meaning the staffing picture is somewhat more favorable than the raw minutes suggest.
Roughly 3 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff, better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. That level of consistency means a resident is less likely to cycle through unfamiliar caregivers over the course of a year.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $14,730. For context, the median fine among Texas facilities that received any fine is about $20,700, and roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all.
The facility is operating at approximately 97% of its licensed 120 beds — effectively full. A waitlist is likely.

Questions to ask when you tour
Current waitlist and admission timeline
At 97% occupancy across 120 beds, ask how long the current waitlist runs and whether veteran status or discharge setting affects placement priority.
Memory care unit access
The state-certified 30-bed memory care unit has a November 2025 effective date — ask how many of those beds are currently filled and what the referral process looks like.
Veterans-only admission policy
The facility is operated by the Texas Veterans Land Board — ask whether admission is restricted to veterans and what documentation is required to begin the application.
Weekend staffing levels
Reported weekend nursing hours run at 3.6 hours per resident per day, below the weekday figure — ask how staffing is scheduled across weekends and holidays.
Resident Council participation
The facility has an active Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how families are notified of council meetings and how they can raise concerns outside of that structure.
