About this community
Shinnery Oaks Community is a 60-bed, county-owned nursing home in Denver City, Texas, accepting both Medicare and Medicaid. CMS rates it 5 stars overall — including 5 stars on health inspections and 4 stars on staffing — placing it among the top-rated facilities in the state. Quality-measure outcomes rate 2 stars, a contrast to those higher marks. Managed by 24 Karat Ventures, LLC under a license active through 2027.

What the data says
Staffing rates 4 stars — roughly the top 9% of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Each resident receives about 269 minutes of nursing care per day. Staff hours per resident exceed what a typical resident mix would require, meaning the staffing picture is more favorable than the raw minutes alone indicate.
RN turnover is exceptionally low: roughly 2 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year, below the state's 25th-percentile cutoff — better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in Texas. That level of RN stability is uncommon.
CMS recorded 1 fine totaling $26,120 over the measured period. The state median fine for facilities that receive any fine is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all — so this amount sits above the state median but is a single incident rather than a pattern.
The quality-measure rating is 2 stars despite the 5-star overall and 4-star staffing ratings. Quality measures track resident health outcomes — things like pressure sores, falls with injury, and pain management — so this gap means day-to-day outcomes are rated below most peers even as inspections and staffing score well. The facility is operating at roughly 87% of licensed beds (52 of 60), which is near capacity.

Questions to ask when you tour
Quality measures vs overall rating
The facility rates 5 stars overall but 2 stars on resident health outcomes — ask which specific measures are driving that gap and what the care team is doing about them.
Role of 24 Karat Ventures
The facility is county-owned but managed by 24 Karat Ventures, LLC — ask how decisions about staffing, care policies, and budgets are divided between the county and the management company.
Waitlist and bed availability
With 52 of 60 beds currently occupied, ask whether there is a waitlist and how long it typically runs for the level of care your family member needs.
How the $26,120 fine was resolved
CMS recorded one fine totaling $26,120 — ask what deficiency triggered it and what changes were made in response.
Resident and Family Council access
Both a Resident Council and a Family Council meet here — ask how often they convene, who facilitates them, and how concerns raised there reach administration.
