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 staffing here at 2 stars — roughly the bottom third of Texas nursing homes on this measure. Each resident receives about 199 minutes of nursing care per day, approximately 42 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so the same staffing hours stretch thinner than the raw minutes suggest.
Total nursing staff turnover runs at 20.3% annually — about 2 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. That falls well below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff of 42%, meaning turnover here is better than roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in the state.
Quality measures rate 5 stars for both long-stay and short-stay residents — the top tier on CMS's outcome measures, which track things like pressure wounds, falls, and pain management. High staffing ratings and high outcome ratings don't always move together; here the staffing rating is low while outcomes rate at the top of the scale.
The facility is operating at 57% of its 147 licensed beds, with about 85 residents on a typical day. Paired with the 2-star staffing and health inspection ratings, the low occupancy is a data point worth exploring with the facility directly.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels and daily coverage
With 199 minutes of nursing care per resident per day — 42 minutes below the Texas 4-star threshold — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor during daytime, evening, and overnight shifts.
Why occupancy sits at 57%
The facility has roughly 85 residents in a building certified for 147; ask whether the low census reflects a deliberate model, recent admissions slowdown, or something else.
How 5-star outcomes are maintained
CMS rates quality measures at 5 stars despite a 2-star staffing rating; ask which care protocols or oversight practices the facility credits for that outcome.
RN presence during off-hours
Reported RN hours average about 17 minutes per resident per day; ask whether a registered nurse is on-site around the clock or available on-call during nights and weekends.
Health inspection findings
The health inspection rating is 2 stars; ask to see the most recent state inspection report and what corrective steps were taken on any cited deficiencies.
Resident Council activity
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how family members can formally raise concerns or attend council meetings.
