What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star. Each resident receives about 200 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 41 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that, only 15 minutes come from a registered nurse. About 38% of Texas nursing homes share this 1-star staffing rating, so this facility is not unusual at the bottom tier, but it is far from the middle. Residents here need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — sicker, or less mobile on average — so the same staffing hours stretch thinner than the raw minutes suggest.
About 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year, which is very high — above the 75th percentile statewide, where the cutoff is 60%. For RNs specifically, roughly 9 in 10 left. A long-stay resident will likely cycle through two or three primary caregivers, and the registered nurses who provide clinical oversight are the least stable group on staff.
CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect here within the past 36 months. Separately, CMS has flagged this facility as a Special Focus candidate — a step below outright Special Focus Facility designation, signaling a pattern of serious deficiencies that regulators are tracking closely.
Five CMS fines total $113,772. The statewide median fine total is about $20,699, and 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all. This facility's fine total is more than five times the state median.
The facility is operating at roughly 54% of its licensed 117 beds — about 63 residents on an average day. That low occupancy, paired with the safety flags, staffing rating, and fine history, is the full picture the numbers provide.
