Federal inspection record

47 health citations on file4 immediate-jeopardy findings31 from complaints4 federal fines totalling $94K

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 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 183 minutes of nursing care per day, about 58 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. The registered nurse figure is especially thin: about 7 minutes per resident per day, compared to 37 minutes at the 4-star threshold. Residents here also tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or medically more complex on average — so those already-limited hours stretch further than the raw number suggests.

CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect at this facility within the past 36 months. This is a formal CMS determination, not an allegation; it appears on the facility's federal record.

Four CMS fines totaling $93,865 have been assessed. The statewide median fine total is about $20,699, and roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all; this facility's total is more than four times the state median.

The facility is operating at roughly 65% of its 147 licensed beds — about 95 residents on an average day. Paired with 1-star health inspection and staffing ratings and substantiated abuse findings, low occupancy here reflects the broader regulatory record rather than available capacity that would otherwise be reassuring.

One administrator has turned over in the past year — elevated, though not at the level of two or more departures. The management company is VGM Valley Grande Manor Weslaco Ops, Inc., operating under the Booker Hospital District licensee.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Substantiated abuse findings on record

    CMS has a substantiated abuse or neglect finding here within the past 36 months — ask the administrator what happened, what changed, and how the facility monitors for recurrence.

  2. Registered nurse hours per resident

    Reported RN hours work out to about 7 minutes per resident per day; ask how many RNs are on duty each shift and what happens when an RN calls out.

  3. Four federal fines totaling $93,865

    Ask what specific deficiencies triggered each of the four fines and what corrective steps were taken after each citation was resolved.

  4. Why occupancy sits at 65%

    With roughly 52 beds unfilled on an average day, ask whether that reflects recent discharges, referral slowdowns, or something else affecting the facility's census.

  5. Recent administrator change

    One administrator left in the past year — ask how long the current administrator has been in place and whether department-head roles are also fully staffed.

  6. Resident Council access and meeting schedule

    The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how families receive updates from council meetings and how concerns are formally documented and addressed.
