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 this facility 1 star on staffing — the bottom tier among Texas nursing homes, a group that covers about 38% of facilities in the state. Each resident receives roughly 184 minutes of nursing care per day, about 57 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they are sicker or less mobile on average — so those 184 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. Registered nurse coverage is 12 minutes per resident per day, well below the 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing Texas facility.
RN turnover is high: roughly 7 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year. A long-stay resident will likely cycle through multiple primary RN caregivers over the course of a year.
Two CMS fines total $205,193. The state median for fines among facilities that have any is about $20,699, and roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all — this total is nearly ten times the state median.
CMS rates overall quality measures 2 stars, with short-stay quality rated 1 star and long-stay quality rated 4 stars. The 4-star long-stay score and the 1-star short-stay score reflect meaningfully different experiences for residents who are permanent versus those recovering from a hospital stay.
The facility is operating at roughly 73% of its 124 licensed beds — about 90 residents on an average day. Paired with the staffing, turnover, and fine signals above, the lower census is relevant context for families evaluating the facility's trajectory.

Questions to ask when you tour
Two fines totaling $205,193
Ask what each citation was for and what specific policy or staffing changes were made in response to those findings.
12 minutes of RN care daily
Registered nurse coverage is 12 minutes per resident per day — ask how many RNs are on shift overnight and on weekends, when staffing is typically thinnest.
7 in 10 RNs left last year
With high RN turnover, ask how long the current charge nurses have been in their roles and how new staff are oriented to individual residents' care needs.
Short-stay quality rated 1 star
If the stay is for post-hospital recovery, ask which specific quality measures drove the 1-star short-stay rating and what the facility is doing to address them.
Occupancy at 73% of capacity
With roughly 35 beds unfilled on a typical day, ask whether any units or wings are currently closed and how staffing is distributed across the building.
Management company vs. licensee
The licensee is West Wharton County Hospital District but day-to-day management is handled by Ltc Houston Management LLC — ask who is accountable for staffing decisions and complaint resolution.
