Federal inspection record
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
The Woodlands Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 214-bed Medicare/Medicaid nursing home in The Woodlands (Montgomery County), managed by Regency IHS of Spring under a hospital district license. CMS rates it 3 stars overall — a 2-star health inspection rating and 2-star staffing rating, offset by a 5-star quality-measures rating. The facility is operating at about 74% of licensed capacity, or roughly 157 residents on an average day.
Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026
What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars — about 206 minutes of nursing care per resident per day, roughly 35 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. That puts this facility among the bottom third of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Residents here also require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or medically complex on average — so those 206 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
The facility's quality-measures score is 5 stars, the highest CMS awards. That rating reflects tracked outcomes such as rates of falls, pressure wounds, and hospital readmissions — areas where this facility performs at or near the top of Texas nursing homes, even with lower staffing hours.
One CMS fine of $14,765 has been issued. That figure is below the Texas median fine of $20,699 among facilities that received any fine at all; about 30% of Texas nursing homes had zero fines in the same period.
The facility is running at roughly 74% of its 214 licensed beds — about 157 residents on an average day. That level of occupancy, combined with the staffing and inspection ratings, is a pattern that can signal referral or reputation challenges in the local market.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing hours on weekends
Weekend nursing hours here run about 186 minutes per resident — ask how weekend staffing is scheduled and whether charge-nurse coverage differs from weekday levels.
How quality scores stay high
CMS rates outcomes 5 stars despite a 2-star staffing rating — ask which specific quality metrics the team tracks most closely and how care plans are reviewed.
Why beds are running below capacity
The facility averages about 157 residents against 214 licensed beds; ask what is driving the lower census and whether it affects department staffing levels.
Regency's day-to-day role
The license is held by a hospital district but managed by Regency IHS of Spring — ask which entity sets staffing budgets, care policies, and staff compensation.
Resident Council access and frequency
A Resident Council meets here but no Family Council exists — ask how family members can raise concerns and how often the Resident Council meets with administration.
The 2023 health inspection findings
The health inspection rating is 2 stars — ask to see the most recent inspection report and what corrective actions were completed for cited deficiencies.
