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.

About this community

CMS rates it 2 stars overall — a 1-star health inspection rating and a 1-star staffing rating sit alongside a 5-star quality-measures rating. CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect here within the past 36 months. Two fines totaling $18,629 are on record.

What the data says

CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 179 minutes of nursing care per day, about 62 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Registered nurses account for only 12 of those 179 minutes. Residents here also require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they are sicker or less mobile on average — so those nursing minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.

CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect at this facility within the past 36 months. That finding appears directly on the CMS Care Compare record.

Two CMS fines totaling $18,629 are on record. The state median fine total among Texas nursing homes that have been fined is about $20,699, and roughly 30% of Texas facilities have no fines at all.

Despite the staffing and safety flags, CMS rates the quality measures — tracked health outcomes for both long-stay and short-stay residents — at 5 stars, the top rating, for both groups.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Abuse finding and current safeguards

    CMS has a substantiated abuse or neglect finding on record here within the past 36 months — ask what specific policy or staffing changes were made in response.

  2. Registered nurse coverage each day

    Reported data shows only about 12 minutes of registered-nurse time per resident per day — ask how many RNs are on the floor during each shift.

  3. Staffing levels on weekends

    Weekend nursing hours per resident are reported at roughly 2.6 hours, lower than the already-low weekday figure — ask how weekend coverage is structured and whether it differs from weekday staffing.

  4. How outcomes stay high with low staffing

    Quality measures rate 5 stars while staffing rates 1 star — ask how care plans are reviewed and who is accountable for tracking resident health outcomes day to day.

  5. Resident Council access and meeting schedule

    The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how families raise concerns between visits and who receives those concerns formally.

  6. Waitlist and current availability

    With 111 of 120 licensed beds occupied on an average day, the facility is running near capacity — ask whether there is a waitlist and what the typical wait time has been.
