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
A 180-bed nursing home in Houston's Harris County, licensed since 1975 and operated under Oakbend Medical Center, a county hospital district.

The facility is running at roughly 46% of licensed beds, about 83 residents on an average day.

What the data says
CMS rates this facility 2 stars on staffing. Each resident receives about 182 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 59 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — sicker, or less mobile on average — so the same staffing hours stretch thinner than the raw minutes suggest.
RN turnover is exceptionally low: roughly 2 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year, below the state's 25th-percentile cutoff — better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in Texas. That level of RN stability is uncommon alongside a 2-star staffing rating.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $44,140. Texas's median fine across all fined facilities is about $20,699, placing this fine above the state midpoint. Roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes had no fines in the same period.
The facility's 5-star quality-of-care rating — the highest CMS awards — covers outcomes like pressure wounds, falls, and medication management for long-stay residents. That rating sits alongside a 1-star health inspection score, which reflects the frequency and severity of deficiencies found during state surveys.
The facility is operating at roughly 46% of its 180 licensed beds, with an average of 83.5 residents on any given day. Only a Resident Council is in place; there is no Family Council.

Questions to ask when you tour
Health inspection score of 1 star
CMS gave this facility its lowest possible health inspection rating — ask what specific deficiencies were cited and what corrective steps have been taken since.
Weekend staffing levels
Reported weekend nursing hours drop to about 2.7 hours per resident per day versus 3.0 on weekdays — ask how staffing is structured on Saturdays and Sundays.
Low occupancy at 46%
The facility is running at roughly half its licensed capacity — ask whether that reflects a deliberate operational model or recent changes in admissions.
No Family Council in place
A Resident Council exists but no Family Council — ask how family members can formally raise concerns about care or facility operations.
The $44,140 CMS fine
One fine totaling $44,140 was recorded — ask what the citation was for and whether the underlying issue has been resolved and re-inspected.
County hospital district ownership
The facility is licensed under Oakbend Medical Center, a county entity, but managed by The Lev At Town Park LLC — ask how decisions about staffing and care standards are made between the two.
