What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 2 stars. Each resident receives about 179 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 62 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, which sits in the bottom third of Texas nursing homes on this measure (about 32% of facilities share this rating tier). Residents here also require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they are sicker or less mobile on average — so those 179 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
Roughly 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas's median nursing-home turnover is around 50%, and the 75th-percentile cutoff is 60% — this facility sits above that cutoff. A long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.
The facility is operating at approximately 40% of its 74 licensed beds, with an average of about 30 residents on any given day. This is well below typical occupancy levels for Texas nursing homes. Low occupancy alongside a 2-star staffing rating and above-average turnover is a combination worth examining closely during any visit.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours average 2.56 hours per resident per day here — lower than the already-below-average weekday figure; ask how many nurses and aides are on duty on a Saturday or Sunday night.
Why occupancy is at 40%
With only about 30 residents filling 74 licensed beds, ask whether that reflects a recent ownership transition, referral patterns, or something else affecting admissions.
Turnover and continuity of care
About 6 in 10 nursing staff left last year; ask how long the current charge nurses and primary aides have been on the floor.
Management company's role
The licensed owner is Stephens Memorial Hospital District, but day-to-day management is handled by 224 E 6th Street Opco LLC; ask who your main point of contact would be for care concerns.
Resident Council activity
A Resident Council exists but no Family Council; ask how frequently the Resident Council meets and how families can raise concerns outside of that structure.
How care plans are reviewed
Quality-of-care measures score 5 stars despite a 2-star staffing rating; ask how often care plans are reviewed and who leads that process when staffing is stretched.
