What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 1 star — the lowest tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 179 minutes of nursing care per day, approximately 62 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. RN coverage is 11 minutes per resident per day, against a 37-minute threshold for 4-star staffing in Texas. Beyond the raw numbers, residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so the available staff hours stretch thinner than the minutes alone suggest.
The facility is running at about 74% of its 126 licensed beds, with roughly 94 residents on a typical day. That level of vacancy — around 32 open beds — alongside the 1-star staffing rating is a combination that warrants direct questions about staffing ratios and care plans during any visit.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing ratios on evenings and weekends
CMS rates staffing 1 star and weekend nursing hours average 2.5 hours per resident per day — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty during off-peak shifts.
RN presence each day
Reported RN hours work out to about 11 minutes per resident per day; ask whether a registered nurse is on-site around the clock or only during business hours.
How open beds affect staffing levels
About 32 of 126 licensed beds are currently unfilled — ask whether staffing schedules reflect actual census or licensed capacity.
Care planning for higher-need residents
Residents here have above-average care needs on aggregate; ask how frequently care plans are reviewed and who participates in those reviews.
Resident Council activity
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how family members can raise concerns and how often the Resident Council meets.
Management company's role day to day
The licensed owner is a hospital district, but day-to-day management is handled by Bellmead I Enterprises, LLC — ask which entity sets staffing budgets and responds to resident complaints.
