What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 125 minutes of nursing care per day, which is about 116 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they are sicker or less mobile on average — so those 125 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. The 5-star overall rating and 5-star quality-measures rating are driven by inspection and outcome data, not by staffing levels.
About 3 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. That places turnover below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff — better than roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. Low turnover alongside a 1-star staffing rating means the team that is here tends to stay; the shortfall is in the number of hours, not in staff continuity.
The facility is running at roughly 45% of its 90 licensed beds, with about 40 residents on a given day. That is a low fill rate; paired with the staffing signal, it is a concrete data point for families to ask about directly.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing hours per shift
With each resident averaging about 125 minutes of nursing care per day — 116 minutes below the Texas 4-star benchmark — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty during a typical day shift and overnight.
RN presence on site
Reported RN hours work out to roughly 13 minutes per resident per day; ask whether a registered nurse is on site around the clock or available only by phone during nights and weekends.
Why occupancy is low
The facility has about 40 residents in 90 licensed beds — roughly 45% full; ask management what accounts for that and whether any beds or wings are temporarily closed.
Care plans for higher-need residents
CMS data indicates residents here need more hands-on care than at a typical facility; ask how care plans are reviewed and updated as a resident's needs change.
Resident Council access
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how family members can raise concerns and how often they receive updates from staff.
