What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 186 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 55 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that, only about 21 minutes come from a registered nurse. About 32% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating, so this is not an outlier, but it is in the lower tier.
One administrator has turned over in the past year. A single change doesn't disrupt daily care the way serial turnover does, but new leadership takes time to establish routines and relationships with staff and residents.
One CMS fine totaling $11,148 was assessed. Texas's median fine across cited facilities is roughly $20,700, so this fine is below that midpoint.
The facility is operating at about 62% of its 68 licensed beds — roughly 42 residents on an average day. Occupancy at that level can reflect a range of factors, including local market size, referral patterns, or payer mix decisions.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
With a 2-star staffing rating and about 186 nursing minutes per resident per day, ask how many nurses and aides are scheduled on evenings, nights, and weekends specifically.
New administrator's tenure and priorities
The administrator position turned over in the past year — ask how long the current administrator has been in place and what changes, if any, they have made to care routines.
What the CMS fine was for
A $11,148 CMS fine appears in the record; ask staff to describe the deficiency cited and what was done to correct it.
Why occupancy is below two-thirds
The facility averages about 42 residents against 68 licensed beds — ask whether that reflects a waitlist pause, staffing constraints, or local referral patterns.
Quality measure scores and care planning
CMS rates quality measures at 2 stars despite a 4-star inspection score; ask how the facility tracks and reviews resident outcomes between inspections.
