Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026
What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 205 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 36 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. That gap is meaningful over days and weeks, particularly for residents who need frequent help with bathing, dressing, or mobility. About 31% of Texas nursing homes share this 2-star staffing tier.
Roughly 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas's 75th-percentile cutoff for total turnover is 60% — this facility's 66% rate sits above it. A long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.
One administrator has turned over in the past year. The record doesn't show a pattern of serial turnover, but any leadership change carries some disruption for staff and residents during the transition.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $21,645. About 30% of Texas nursing homes had zero fines in this period; this facility's single fine is just above the state median of $20,699.
The facility is operating at 62% of its licensed 92 beds — about 56 residents on an average day. This is below what most similarly sized Texas nursing homes carry.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels day to day
With a 2-star staffing rating and 205 daily nursing minutes per resident, ask how many nurses and aides are scheduled on a typical weekday versus a weekend shift.
Caregiver continuity for residents
With 7 in 10 nursing staff turning over last year, ask how the facility assigns consistent caregivers and how it handles handoffs when staff leave.
Recent administrator transition
One administrator changed in the past year — ask who is currently in the role and how long they have been on site.
Why occupancy is lower than peers
The facility runs at 62% of licensed beds; ask whether that reflects a waitlist pause, a staffing constraint, or a deliberate census decision.
The $21,645 CMS fine
One CMS fine was issued — ask what the citation was for and what specific changes were made in response.
Resident Council access and meeting schedule
A Resident Council is listed but no Family Council — ask how families can raise concerns and how often the Resident Council meets.
