What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars — a level shared by about 32% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives approximately 177 minutes of nursing care per day, which is 64 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that, only 22 minutes come from a registered nurse. Residents here tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those staffing hours stretch thinner than the raw numbers already suggest.
About 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. That sits below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff of 42%, meaning turnover is better than roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in the state.
The facility is operating at approximately 59% of its 90 licensed beds, with 52.7 residents on an average day.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours average 2.4 hours per resident per day — lower than the already-below-average weekday figure of 2.9 hours; ask how many nurses and aides are on each shift.
RN presence on the floor
Reported registered-nurse time is 22 minutes per resident per day; ask how many hours a day an RN is physically present and available for clinical decisions.
Reasons for low occupancy
The facility averages about 53 residents against 90 licensed beds; ask whether the lower census reflects a recent change in admissions, staffing limits, or something else.
How care plans are reviewed
Quality-of-care ratings are 5 stars despite a 2-star staffing rating; ask how frequently care plans are updated and who leads those reviews.
Role of the management company
Day-to-day operations are managed by Franklin Ii Enterprises, Llc under a hospital district license; ask who has final authority over staffing decisions and how the two entities divide responsibility.
