About this community

The Lakes at Texas City is a 120-bed nursing home in Galveston County accepting Medicare and Medicaid. CMS rates it 2 stars overall — driven by a 1-star staffing rating that ranks among the bottom 38% of Texas nursing homes. Quality-of-care measures rate 4 stars. The facility is operating at roughly 70% of its licensed beds, and one CMS fine of $12,740 is on record.

Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026

What the data says

CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the lowest tier, covering about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 175 minutes of total nursing care per day, about 66 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that, only 17 minutes comes from a registered nurse. Residents here also tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or medically complex on average — so those nursing hours stretch thinner than the raw minutes suggest.

About 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. That rate sits above the 75th percentile for Texas nursing homes, meaning a long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers. RN turnover is sharper still: roughly 8 in 10 registered nurses left in the same period — a level that affects care continuity for residents with more complex medical needs.

The facility is operating at about 70% of its licensed beds, with 76 residents on average against 109 CMS-certified beds. This level of vacancy, alongside the staffing and turnover figures, is a pattern families should ask management to explain.

One CMS fine of $12,740 has been issued. That is below the Texas median fine of $20,699 and represents a single enforcement action rather than a pattern.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Staffing levels on evenings and weekends

    With 175 total nursing minutes per resident per day — 66 minutes below the Texas 4-star threshold — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty during evening shifts and weekends specifically.

  2. RN retention and care continuity

    Eight in 10 registered nurses left in the past year; ask which RN would be primarily responsible for your parent and how long that person has been in the role.

  3. Why occupancy sits at 70%

    The facility is running about 33 beds below its certified capacity; ask management directly what accounts for the lower census and whether it reflects staffing limits or other operational factors.

  4. The $12,740 CMS fine

    One fine was issued in the current record period; ask what the cited deficiency was, what corrective steps were taken, and whether the correction has been verified by a follow-up inspection.

  5. Resident Council access and function

    The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how families are formally notified of concerns raised in council meetings and whether family attendance is ever permitted.

  6. Management company's role in daily care

    The licensee is a hospital district authority but day-to-day management runs through Bay Oaks HC, LLC; ask which entity sets staffing schedules and responds to care complaints.
