What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 192 minutes of nursing care per day, about 49 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so those 192 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests. Registered nurses account for only 14 minutes of that daily total, against a 4-star Texas benchmark of 37 minutes.
About 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. For a long-stay resident, that means cycling through multiple primary caregivers over the course of a year. RN turnover is steeper still: roughly 9 in 10 RNs left in the same period, well above any typical range in Texas.
CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect here within the past 36 months. This is a formal regulatory determination, not an allegation; it appears on the facility's CMS Care Compare record.
Five CMS fines total $125,321 — the state median for fines among facilities that receive any is about $20,699, and roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all. This facility's total is more than six times the state median.
Quality-of-care outcome measures split sharply by resident type. Long-stay residents — those living here permanently or for extended periods — rate 5 stars on CMS outcome measures. Short-stay residents — those here for rehabilitation after a hospitalization — rate 1 star. These two ratings draw from different measures and reflect different care tracks.

Questions to ask when you tour
Abuse findings and current safeguards
CMS has a substantiated abuse or neglect finding on this facility's record — ask what happened, what changed, and how incidents are reported and investigated today.
Staffing levels on evenings and weekends
Reported weekend nursing hours are 2.7 hours per resident per day, below the already-low weekday figure — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor on a Saturday night.
RN presence during a typical shift
Registered nurses average about 14 minutes of care per resident per day here; ask how many RNs are on duty each shift and whether an RN is on-site overnight.
Staff continuity for new residents
Roughly 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — ask whether the facility assigns consistent aides to the same residents, and how long the current core team has been in place.
Short-stay rehabilitation outcomes
CMS rates short-stay quality measures at 1 star while long-stay measures rate 5 stars — if the goal is post-hospital rehabilitation, ask specifically about discharge rates and return-to-hospital rates for short-stay residents.
Five CMS fines totaling $125,321
Ask what each of the five cited deficiencies involved, whether any are under appeal, and what corrective steps were taken after each finding.
