Federal inspection record

52 health citations on file6 immediate-jeopardy findings8 from complaints3 federal fines totalling $131K

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.

About this community

CMS rates it 1 star overall — the lowest rating — with 1-star scores for both health inspections and staffing. Three CMS fines total $130,813 since the last inspection cycle. The facility is currently housing about 50 residents in 114 licensed beds, a 44% occupancy rate.

What the data says

CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier. Each resident receives about 189 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 52 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of those 189 minutes, only about 27 are with a registered nurse. Nearly 38% of Texas nursing homes share this 1-star staffing rating, so this is not an isolated outlier — but it sits at the lower end of the state's distribution.

The facility has received 3 CMS fines totaling $130,813. The median total fine amount among penalized Texas nursing homes is roughly $20,699, so this total is about six times that median. About 30% of Texas facilities have received no fines at all.

One administrator has turned over in the past year. That is above the baseline threshold for stability, and residents experience administrative transitions directly through changes in care coordination and daily operations.

The facility is operating at roughly 44% of its 114 licensed beds — about 50 residents on a given day. This level of low occupancy, alongside the safety and staffing signals above, is a data point families may want to ask about directly.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Staffing levels on nights and weekends

    CMS reports 189 total nursing minutes per resident per day and only 27 RN minutes — ask how many nurses are on each shift, particularly nights and weekends when the reported weekend hours drop to about 170 minutes.

  2. What the $130,813 in fines covered

    Three CMS fines totaling $130,813 have been assessed — ask what deficiencies triggered each fine and what specific changes were made in response.

  3. Administrator transition and current leadership

    One administrator departed in the past year; ask who is currently in that role, how long they have been in place, and what their background is.

  4. Why occupancy is at 44%

    The facility has about 50 residents in 114 licensed beds — ask whether the low census reflects a recent ownership or operational change, or a longer-term trend.

  5. Resident Council activity

    CMS records show a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets and how family members can raise concerns through it or outside it.

  6. Management company role in daily operations

    The licensee is Fannin County Hospital Authority but day-to-day management is listed under 1008 Citizens Trail Opco LLC — ask which entity sets staffing budgets and responds to care complaints.
