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 staffing here at 4 stars — placing this facility among roughly the top 9% of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Each resident receives about 365 minutes of nursing care per day. Staff hours per resident exceed what a typical resident mix would require, meaning the raw staffing numbers reflect favorably even after accounting for how much hands-on care residents here need.
About 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff, meaning turnover is better than roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. RN turnover, however, ran at 60% over the same period, sitting at the 75th-percentile threshold statewide.
Two administrators have left in the past year. Residents and families typically feel leadership transitions through changes in care routines, staffing decisions, and how concerns get escalated.
CMS recorded 2 fines totaling $29,716 — above the Texas state median of $20,699 per fined facility, and roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all. The 2-star health inspection rating aligns with this fine history, even as staffing and quality-measure scores run higher.
