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 Bay Ridge 3 stars on staffing. Each resident receives about 211 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 30 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Staff hours here actually exceed what a typical resident mix would require, meaning the residents at this facility tend to need less hands-on care than average, so the raw minute count carries more weight than it would elsewhere.
RN turnover is elevated: roughly 7 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year. A long-stay resident will likely go through multiple primary RNs over the course of a year.
CMS rates the facility 2 stars on quality of care, covering both long-stay residents. The staffing numbers above provide one input; care outcomes, as CMS measures them, rate below most peers in Texas.
Bay Ridge has two CMS fines totaling $18,054 over the measured period — just below the Texas state median of $20,699 per fined facility. About 30% of Texas nursing homes had no fines at all during the same window.
The facility is running at about 72% of its licensed 58 beds — roughly 42 beds occupied on an average day. Paired with the 2-star quality rating and elevated RN turnover, the low occupancy is a pattern families may want to ask about directly.
