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.

Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026
What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 242 minutes of total nursing care per day — just above the Texas threshold for a 4-star staffing rating, which sits at 241 minutes — but registered nurse time is 20 minutes per resident per day, well below the 37-minute mark that 4-star-staffing Texas facilities reach. About 32% of Texas nursing homes share this 2-star staffing rating.
Staff turnover tells a different story. Roughly 3 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — below the Texas 25th-percentile cutoff, meaning turnover here is better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. Residents are less likely to cycle through caregivers than at most Texas facilities.
The facility had one CMS fine totaling $8,827. The state median for fines among Texas nursing homes that received any is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas facilities had no fines at all.

Questions to ask when you tour
RN coverage on each shift
Reported RN time is 20 minutes per resident per day — ask how many registered nurses are on the floor during day, evening, and overnight shifts.
How staffing is managed short-term
With a 2-star staffing rating despite low turnover, ask whether the facility relies on agency nurses to fill gaps and how often that happens.
Current bed availability and waitlist
With an average of 77 residents in 100 licensed beds, ask whether a specific unit or bed type has a waitlist given current occupancy.
Resident Council activity and access
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how families formally raise concerns and how often council meeting notes are shared.
Management company's role day-to-day
Klement Healthcare manages the facility on behalf of Fannin County Hospital Authority — ask which entity makes staffing and care-policy decisions on-site.
