What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars — the bottom third of Texas nursing homes on this measure. Each resident receives about 169 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 72 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 169 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests.
About 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. That places the facility below the state's 25th-percentile cutoff — better than roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in Texas on turnover. A relatively stable team, even with the staffing hours rated low.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $8,021 over the period on file. The median fine total among penalized Texas nursing homes is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas facilities have no fines at all.
The facility is running at roughly 60% of its 112 licensed beds — about 68 residents on a typical day. The overall and inspection ratings are 4 stars, while staffing and quality measures rate 2 stars each; that gap between inspection performance and care outcomes is the detail to press on.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing hours on evenings and weekends
CMS rates staffing 2 stars and weekend nursing hours are reported at 2.19 hours per resident — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor during evening and weekend shifts specifically.
Quality measure gaps versus inspection scores
Overall and inspection ratings are 4 stars but quality measures rate 2 stars — ask which specific quality measures are low and what the facility is doing to address them.
Why occupancy is at 60 percent
With roughly 44 beds unfilled on a typical day, ask whether the lower census reflects recent admissions challenges, staffing limits, or something else affecting operations.
Resident council meeting frequency
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets and how family members can raise concerns outside that channel.
Registered nurse coverage hours
Reported RN hours are 36 minutes per resident per day, just at the Texas 4-star threshold — ask whether a registered nurse is on-site or on-call during overnight hours.
Management company's role day-to-day
The facility is licensed under a hospital district but managed by Regency IHS of South Laredo — ask who sets staffing budgets and care policies and how disputes between the two entities are resolved.
