What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 4 stars — placing this facility in approximately the top 9% of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Each resident receives about 287 minutes of nursing care per day. The resident mix here includes people who are less sick or less dependent on physical assistance than at a typical facility, so those staffing hours go further than the same minutes would elsewhere.
Roughly 3 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff, meaning turnover is better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. RN turnover is exceptionally low at about 2 in 10 — a level that puts this facility among the most stable in Texas on that measure. Long-stay residents are less likely to cycle through unfamiliar nurses here than at most facilities.
Five CMS fines total $301,425 — nearly 15 times the Texas median of $20,699, and about 70% of Texas facilities have received at least one fine, making the dollar amount here the more striking figure. This is the severe tier: the largest fine category CMS tracks. The health inspection rating is 1 star, meaning deficiencies found during inspections are among the most serious in the state.
Quality measures — CMS's tracking of resident outcomes like pressure wounds, falls, and pain management — also rate 1 star, both for residents on long stays and those on short rehabilitation stays. High staffing and low turnover have not translated into resident outcomes that compare favorably with peers.
The facility is operating at roughly 51% of its 106 CMS-certified beds, with an average of about 54 residents per day. That occupancy level, combined with 1-star inspection and quality ratings and $301,425 in fines, points to a facility that families should examine closely before proceeding.

Questions to ask when you tour
What the five fines covered
CMS recorded five fines totaling $301,425 — ask what deficiencies triggered each fine and what specific corrections were made.
Why quality measures rate 1 star
Staffing rates 4 stars but resident outcomes rate 1 star; ask how care plans are reviewed and what the facility tracks to monitor resident health between inspections.
Current bed occupancy and waitlists
The facility is running at roughly 51% capacity — ask whether that reflects a staffing decision, a referral pattern, or recent admissions changes.
How concerns reach leadership
A Resident Council meets here; ask how often it convenes, whether meeting minutes are shared, and how the facility responds to issues residents raise.
Staffing continuity on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours average about 240 minutes per resident — ask how weekend and overnight staffing compares to weekday levels and how coverage is handled during call-outs.
