About this community

CMS rates it 4 stars overall, with 4 stars each on health inspections and quality measures.

Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026
What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 3 stars. Each resident receives about 209 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 32 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. That puts this facility in approximately the bottom fifth of Texas nursing homes on staffing, where about 19% of facilities share this rating tier.
RN turnover is low: roughly 3 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year. That sits below the state's 25th-percentile cutoff — better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in Texas on this measure.
One administrator has left in the past year. A single transition is less disruptive than multiple turnovers, but a new administrator does mean leadership continuity is in flux.
Three CMS fines totaling $16,426 have been issued. The state median fine total for Texas facilities with fines is $20,699; about 30% of Texas facilities have no fines at all.
The facility is operating at roughly 68% of its licensed beds — about 52 residents in an 80-bed building. Occupancy at this level can reflect a number of factors, including local market conditions, staffing decisions, or referral patterns.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on evenings and weekends
CMS rates staffing 3 stars and weekend nursing hours run at 3.06 per resident per day — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor during off-peak shifts.
New administrator's tenure and plans
The facility had an administrator change in the past year; ask how long Larry Beltran has been in the role and what operational priorities he has set.
Reason for the three CMS fines
Three fines totaling $16,426 appear on the CMS record; ask what the citations were for and what process changes followed each one.
Why occupancy is at 68%
The building holds 80 beds but averages about 52 residents; ask whether that reflects a staffing cap, local demand, or something else.
How the Resident Council operates
A Resident Council is listed but no Family Council; ask how family members raise concerns and how often the Resident Council meets with management.
Caraday Healthcare's oversight role
The facility is managed by Caraday Healthcare under a Hospital District license; ask what the management company controls day-to-day versus what the Hospital District oversees.
