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.

What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars — placing this facility in the bottom third of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Each resident receives about 198 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 43 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that, only 9 minutes comes from a registered nurse. About 31% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating or lower.
Roughly 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — a turnover rate above the 75th percentile for Texas nursing homes, meaning at least three-quarters of facilities in the state have lower turnover. A long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.
CMS recorded 2 fines totaling $29,666 since the facility's data window. The state median for facilities that receive any fines at all is about $20,699, so these fines run above the state midpoint. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines in this period.
The facility is operating at 73% of its 95 licensed beds — about 69 residents on an average day. Paired with the staffing and turnover figures above, lower occupancy here does not appear to reflect excess capacity being held in reserve.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing coverage on weekends
Weekend nursing hours average 3.09 per resident per day versus 3.29 on weekdays — ask how staffing levels are maintained Saturday and Sunday when agency or call-out gaps are most common.
RN presence each day
Reported RN hours work out to about 9 minutes per resident per day; ask how many hours a registered nurse is physically on-site and who handles clinical decisions overnight.
Turnover impact on care continuity
With roughly 6 in 10 nursing staff leaving in the past year, ask how the facility assigns consistent aides to residents and how long current direct-care staff have been employed.
Details behind the two CMS fines
Two fines totaling $29,666 appear in CMS records; ask what deficiencies triggered them and what specific changes were made in response.
Current bed availability and waitlist
The facility is running at 73% occupancy — ask whether specific units or wing locations currently have openings and whether that availability is expected to hold.
Resident Council activity
CMS records a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how often the Resident Council meets, who attends from management, and how families are kept informed of outcomes.
