What the data says

CMS rates staffing here 2 stars. Each resident receives about 159 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 82 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, which sits at 241 minutes. Residents here need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — sicker, or less mobile on average — so those 159 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. About 32% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating.

Roughly 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — above the Texas 75th-percentile cutoff of 60%, meaning turnover here exceeds at least three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. A long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year. RN turnover is a different picture: about 3 in 10 registered nurses left, which falls below the state's 25th-percentile cutoff — better than about three-quarters of Texas nursing homes on that specific measure.

Two CMS fines totaling $100,293 have been assessed. The state median fine total across penalized Texas nursing homes is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas facilities have no fines at all. This facility's fine total is roughly five times the state median.

The facility is operating at approximately 70% of its 118 licensed beds, with an average daily census of about 83 residents. That level of vacancy, alongside the staffing and fine signals, is a combination worth examining directly with the facility.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Staffing hours on weekends

    Weekend nursing hours here average 2.43 hours per resident per day — lower than the already-below-average weekday figure; ask how staffing levels are maintained Saturday and Sunday.

  2. Details behind the two CMS fines

    Two fines totaling $100,293 have been issued; ask what deficiencies triggered them and what specific changes were made in response.

  3. High nursing staff turnover

    About 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year; ask what drove that rate and how the facility is currently recruiting and retaining direct-care staff.

  4. Why occupancy sits at 70%

    Only about 83 of 118 beds are filled on a typical day; ask whether that reflects a recent ownership or operational transition, or something else.

  5. Resident and family council activity

    Both a Resident Council and a Family Council are listed; ask how often each meets and how concerns raised there have led to visible changes.

  6. Care planning for higher-needs residents

    Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility; ask how care plans are reviewed and updated as a resident's needs change over time.
