What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 2 stars — placing this facility in the bottom third of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Each resident receives about 171 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 70 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those 171 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests.
About 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas nursing homes at the 75th percentile see 60% annual turnover; this facility's 68% rate sits above that mark. A long-stay resident will likely cycle through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.
One administrator has turned over in the past year. This is one step above the baseline but below the high-turnover threshold; it reflects some leadership movement without the pattern of repeated departures.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $15,631. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all; a single fine at this dollar amount falls below the Texas median fine of $20,699.
The facility is operating at roughly 59% of its 80 licensed beds — about 47 residents on an average day. That low occupancy, alongside the staffing and turnover figures, is a data point families may want to ask about directly.

Questions to ask when you tour
Reason for low occupancy
The facility averages about 47 residents against 80 licensed beds — ask what is driving that vacancy rate and whether staffing levels adjust as census changes.
Staffing on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours average 2.48 minutes per resident per day below the already-low weekday figure — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty during overnight and weekend shifts.
Caregiver consistency for residents
With roughly 7 in 10 nursing staff turning over in the past year, ask how the facility assigns consistent caregivers to individual residents and how it orients new hires.
Recent administrator transition
One administrator departed in the past year — ask who the current administrator is, how long they have been in the role, and what changed during the transition.
Relationship with management company
The licensee is Uvalde County Hospital Authority, but day-to-day operations are managed by 210 37th St Opco LLC — ask who makes staffing and budget decisions and how concerns are escalated.
Quality-measures follow-through
CMS rates quality measures 4 stars despite a 2-star staffing rating — ask how care plans are reviewed and who is responsible for tracking resident outcomes given the staffing constraints.
