About this community
Gulf Pointe Plaza is a 120-bed nursing home in Rockport, TX, operated by HMG Healthcare under a hospital district license. CMS rates it 5 stars overall — 5 stars on health inspections and quality measures, but 2 stars on staffing. The facility carries zero CMS fines and no abuse findings. About 74 of 120 beds are occupied on an average day, a 62% fill rate.
Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026
What the data says
CMS rates Gulf Pointe Plaza 2 stars on staffing — the bottom third of Texas nursing homes on this measure. Each resident receives about 188 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 53 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so those 188 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests.
About 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. That is below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff, meaning turnover is better than roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. For a long-stay resident, a more stable team is the practical result.
The facility is running at 62% of its 120 licensed beds — about 74 residents on an average day. That is well below typical occupancy. Paired with the 2-star staffing rating, the low census is a concrete detail to probe when visiting.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours average 2.70 minutes per resident per day below the already-low weekday figure — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty overnight and on weekends.
Why occupancy sits at 62%
With roughly 46 of 120 beds empty on a typical day, ask whether admissions have declined, beds are held for a specific payer type, or staffing constraints are limiting intake.
RN coverage each day
Reported RN hours work out to about 14 minutes per resident per day — ask how many hours a registered nurse is physically present in the building each shift.
How care plans are reviewed
Quality measures rate 5 stars despite 2-star staffing; ask how often care plans are updated and who leads those reviews.
Role of the hospital district owner
The license is held by Winniestowell Hospital District while HMG Healthcare manages day-to-day operations — ask how decisions about staffing budgets and care policies are divided between the two.
