What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the lowest tier, shared by roughly 38% of Texas nursing homes. Residents receive about 166 minutes of nursing care per day, 75 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Beyond the raw minutes, residents here tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile, or with more complex needs on average — so those hours stretch thinner than the number alone suggests. The 30 minutes of RN time per resident per day falls below the 37-minute threshold for a 4-star staffing rating in Texas.
One administrator has left in the past year. A single turnover at the leadership level can shift care routines, vendor relationships, and staff morale in ways that take months to stabilize.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $32,487. About 30% of Texas nursing homes had no fines in the same period; the state median for facilities that were fined is $20,699, putting this fine above that midpoint.
The facility is operating at roughly 48% of its licensed 62 beds — about 30 residents on an average day. Low occupancy at a 1-star facility, paired with the staffing and fine signals above, is a pattern that warrants direct questions about the facility's current plans.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours here average about 118 minutes per resident per day — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty overnight and on weekends, and how that compares to weekdays.
What the $32,487 fine covered
CMS issued one fine totaling $32,487 — ask which deficiency triggered it, what corrective steps were taken, and whether those steps have been verified in a follow-up inspection.
Recent administrator transition
One administrator left in the past year — ask who is currently in charge, how long they have been in the role, and whether they are expected to stay.
Why occupancy is near half capacity
About 30 of 62 licensed beds are occupied — ask whether the low census reflects a referral slowdown, staffing constraints, or a deliberate operating decision.
How care plans are reviewed
Quality measures rate 2 stars despite already-low staffing — ask how often care plans are updated, who leads those reviews, and how families are notified of changes.
Resident Council participation
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets, how its concerns reach management, and whether families can attend or submit questions.
