What the data says
CMS rates Highland Pines 2 stars on staffing — a rating shared by about 32% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 231 minutes of nursing care per day, about 10 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of those minutes, only 20 come from a registered nurse, compared to 37 at a 4-star-staffing Texas facility.
Two administrators have left in the past year. Leadership continuity shapes how care policies are set and followed day to day; residents and families are the ones who absorb that instability.
CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect at this facility within the past 36 months. This flag appears in CMS Care Compare when an inspection confirms a violation — it is not an allegation.
One CMS fine totaling $17,629 has been assessed. The median fine among Texas nursing homes that received any fine is $20,699; about 30% of Texas facilities have no fines at all.
Highland Pines is operating at roughly 57% of its 171 licensed beds, with about 97 residents on an average day. Paired with the abuse finding, administrator turnover, and staffing rating, the low occupancy reflects the broader regulatory picture at this location.

Questions to ask when you tour
Abuse finding details and response
CMS confirmed a finding of resident abuse or neglect here within the past 36 months — ask what the specific finding was and what corrective steps were put in place.
Current administrator tenure
Two administrators have left in the past year; ask who the current administrator is, how long they have been in the role, and whether they plan to stay.
RN coverage on nights and weekends
Reported RN hours average only 20 minutes per resident per day — ask how many registered nurses are on shift overnight and on weekends specifically.
Why so many beds are empty
The facility is running at about 57% occupancy with roughly 74 beds unfilled — ask what is driving that and whether admissions have changed recently.
Management company's role
Day-to-day operations are managed by HP Nursing & Rehab LLC under a Hospital District license — ask which entity sets staffing levels and handles compliance decisions.
How resident concerns get raised
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how families are expected to surface concerns and who responds when they do.
