What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 3 stars. Each resident receives about 214 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 27 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. The resident mix at this facility is less dependent than average, meaning the nursing hours available stretch further than the raw minutes suggest — staff are supporting residents who need fewer hands-on interventions than at a typical nursing home.
Roughly 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. That sits below the Texas 25th-percentile cutoff — better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. A 5-star overall rating with stable staffing and strong inspection and quality-measure scores is a coherent pattern.
The facility is running at about 59% of its 104 licensed beds, with roughly 61 residents on an average day. Most Texas nursing homes operate closer to full capacity.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours average 2.99 hours per resident per day — below the weekday figure; ask how staffing levels differ on evenings and weekends.
RN coverage each day
Reported RN hours come to about 18 minutes per resident per day; ask how many hours a registered nurse is physically on-site versus on-call.
Why occupancy is low
Only about 61 of 104 beds are filled; ask whether that reflects a recent admission pause, a referral pattern, or another operational factor.
Short-stay quality measures
Long-stay quality measures rate 5 stars, but short-stay rates 3 stars; ask what outcomes drive that gap for residents coming in for rehabilitation.
Resident Council structure
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how family members raise concerns or receive updates outside of individual care conferences.
Management company role
The licensee is Fannin County Hospital Authority while day-to-day operations are handled by Colorado County Development Group; ask which entity makes staffing and budget decisions.
