What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 3 stars — placing this facility among about 19% of Texas nursing homes at that tier. Each resident receives about 238 minutes of nursing care per day, just 3 minutes below the threshold typical of 4-star-staffing facilities in Texas. Staff hours per resident exceed what the resident mix would normally require, meaning the raw minutes carry more weight than they would at a facility with lighter-care residents.
Roughly 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. That rate sits above the 75th percentile for Texas nursing homes, meaning turnover here is higher than at least three-quarters of facilities in the state. A long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers over that period. RN turnover, by contrast, is low — below the state's 25th-percentile cutoff, meaning the registered nurse layer is more stable than the broader nursing staff picture suggests.
CMS issued 1 fine totaling $3,276 in the period reflected in this record. The state median for facilities that receive any fine at all is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines. The dollar amount here is well below that median.

Questions to ask when you tour
Short-stay outcomes rating
CMS rates short-stay quality outcomes at 1 star — ask which specific measures drive that rating and what the facility is doing to address them.
Nursing staff turnover by unit
With roughly 7 in 10 nursing staff leaving annually, ask whether turnover is concentrated in specific wings or shifts, and how care continuity is maintained for long-stay residents.
Resident Council participation
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how families are formally notified of concerns raised by residents and how those concerns are resolved.
Weekend staffing levels
Reported weekend nursing hours run below the weekday average; ask what the actual nurse-to-resident ratio looks like on Saturdays and Sundays.
Management company responsibilities
The facility is licensed to South Limestone Hospital District but managed by St. Anthony's Care Center, LLC — ask which entity sets staffing budgets and handles day-to-day care decisions.
