What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 1 star — the lowest rating, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives approximately 178 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 63 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those 178 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests.
About 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. At that pace, a long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.
Three administrators have left in the past year — organizational disruption that residents and frontline staff feel directly.
The facility is running at roughly 56% of its 120 licensed beds, with about 67 residents on an average day. That figure sits alongside the staffing and turnover picture above; the reader can weigh them together.

Three administrators have turned over in the past 12 months — ask who is currently leading the facility and how long they have been in the role.
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
CMS rates staffing here 1 star; weekend nursing hours average about 154 minutes per resident — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor during evenings and weekends.
Caregiver continuity for residents
About 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — ask whether residents are assigned consistent aides and how the facility manages continuity when staff turns over.
Why so many beds are empty
The facility is operating at roughly 56% of capacity — ask what is driving the low census and whether staffing or services have changed as a result.
How care plans are reviewed
Quality of care rates 5 stars despite 1-star staffing — ask how often care plans are reviewed and who leads those reviews when staffing is limited.
