What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Residents receive roughly 139 minutes of nursing care per day, about 102 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. That gap covers nearly two additional hours of hands-on help each day. Registered nurse presence is particularly limited at about 13 minutes per resident per day, compared to 37 minutes at 4-star facilities in Texas.
The staffing hours above are further stretched by the resident population here. Residents need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they are, on average, sicker or less mobile — so the raw minutes per day translate to less practical coverage than the numbers alone suggest.
Nursing staff turnover runs low: roughly 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year, below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff — better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. A long-stay resident is less likely to cycle through multiple primary caregivers here than at most Texas facilities.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours are reported at 0.979 hours per resident per day — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty overnight and on weekends specifically.
Registered nurse coverage each day
CMS data shows about 13 minutes of RN time per resident daily — ask whether a registered nurse is on-site around the clock or only during daytime shifts.
How care plans are reviewed
Staffing rates 1 star while the quality-measures rating is 2 stars — ask how often care plans are updated and who leads that review process.
Waitlist and bed availability
The facility is operating at roughly 88% of its 54 licensed beds — ask whether specific room types have a waitlist and what the typical wait time is.
Resident Council meeting frequency
A Resident Council is on record but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets and how families are kept informed of concerns raised.
