What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 5 stars — the top 1.98% of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Each resident receives about 256 minutes of nursing care per day, compared to 241 minutes at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Staff hours per resident exceed what a typical resident mix would require, meaning the staffing ratio is even more favorable in practice than the raw minutes suggest.
Roughly 3 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — below the state's 25th-percentile cutoff, meaning turnover is better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in Texas. A long-stay resident here is less likely to cycle through multiple primary caregivers than at most facilities in the state.
CMS records one fine totaling $10,527. The state median for fines among Texas facilities that have any is $20,699; this facility's single fine falls below that midpoint.
The facility is operating at about 29% of its 106 licensed beds, averaging roughly 31 residents per day. That low occupancy figure, alongside the other signals in this record, is a factual starting point for questions about the facility's current trajectory.

Questions to ask when you tour
Reason for low occupancy
With roughly 31 residents in a 106-bed facility, ask what is driving the low census and whether the staffing levels currently reported are expected to hold as occupancy changes.
Management company's role
The licensed owner is Baylor County Hospital District, but day-to-day management is handled by Brady SNF, LLC — ask which entity sets staffing budgets and care policies.
Resident Council activity
CMS shows a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how families are kept informed of concerns raised in council meetings and whether family participation is encouraged.
Short-stay quality data
CMS shows no short-stay quality measure rating in the record; ask how the facility tracks and reports outcomes for residents admitted for post-hospital recovery.
Ruby Healthcare's oversight presence
Brady West is part of the Ruby Healthcare chain; ask how often corporate or regional staff visit and what support they provide to the on-site team.
