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 Larkspur 2 stars on staffing — the lowest tier. Each resident receives about 204 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 37 minutes less than what a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas provides. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those 204 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
RN turnover runs low: roughly 2 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year, below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff, meaning RN retention is better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. Total nursing staff turnover, at 57.1%, sits closer to the state median. One administrator has left in the past year — a step above normal churn but short of the two-or-more departures that signal broader instability.
Larkspur received 2 CMS fines totaling $30,928 since the last inspection cycle. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all; this facility's total runs above the state median of $20,699.
The facility is operating at roughly 71% of its 120 licensed beds — about 85 residents per day. That level of vacancy, alongside the staffing rating and fine history, is context worth holding together when evaluating the facility.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing plan on evenings and weekends
CMS rates staffing 2 stars and weekend hours average 2.83 minutes per resident — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty on evenings and weekends specifically.
What the two fines covered
Two CMS fines totaling $30,928 have been issued — ask what deficiencies triggered each fine and what corrective steps followed.
Recent administrator transition
One administrator departure is recorded in the past year — ask who is currently in the role and how long they have been in place.
Why beds are running at 71%
About 35 of 120 licensed beds are unoccupied on a typical day — ask whether that reflects a staffing ceiling, referral patterns, or another operational factor.
Resident council participation
A Resident Council meets here but no Family Council is listed — ask how family members are invited to raise concerns or attend council sessions.
Management company's role day to day
Stoneleigh Health Care Center manages operations under a hospital district license — ask which entity sets staffing levels and handles complaint resolution.
