What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 1 star — the lowest tier. Each resident receives about 162 minutes of total nursing care per day, roughly 79 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that, only 16 minutes comes from a registered nurse. Residents here need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or requiring more medical attention on average — so those 162 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests.
The facility has had one administrator change in the past year. One change doesn't indicate the same disruption as rapid turnover, but continuity of leadership affects day-to-day operations and staff stability.
CMS recorded two fines totaling $81,327. That total is roughly four times the Texas state median fine amount of $20,699 among facilities that have been fined. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.
The facility is averaging about 58 residents per day against 140 licensed beds — an occupancy rate of roughly 42%. That figure sits well below typical operating levels and coincides with the other signals in this record.

Questions to ask when you tour
Reason for low occupancy
With only about 58 residents in a 140-bed facility, ask what is driving occupancy to 42% and whether the current census affects staffing levels.
Staffing hours on weekends
CMS data shows 2.14 total nursing hours per resident on weekends — lower than the already low weekday figure; ask how many nurses and aides are scheduled Saturday and Sunday.
Details behind the two CMS fines
Two fines totaling $81,327 have been assessed; ask what deficiencies triggered them and what specific changes were made in response.
Administrator transition timeline
An administrator change occurred in the past year; ask when the current administrator started and how long they plan to remain in this role.
Registered nurse coverage hours
CMS data shows only 16 minutes of registered nurse time per resident per day; ask how many RN hours are scheduled on a typical weekday shift and overnight.
Resident Council activity
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how often the Resident Council meets and how family members can raise concerns formally.
