What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 3 stars. Each resident receives about 202 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 39 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. About 19% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating.
Two administrators have left in the past year. Leadership turnover at that pace typically disrupts scheduling, care-plan oversight, and staff continuity in ways residents experience directly.
The facility is operating at roughly 37% of its 90 licensed beds — about 33 residents on an average day. That is well below typical occupancy for Texas nursing homes. Paired with the administrator turnover above, the low census warrants direct questions about the facility's current operational direction.

Questions to ask when you tour
Current administrator tenure
Two administrators have left in the past year — ask who the current administrator is, when they started, and whether they expect to stay long-term.
Why occupancy is so low
With roughly 33 residents in a 90-bed building, ask what is driving the low census and whether staffing levels or services have changed as a result.
Nursing coverage on nights and weekends
Staffing rates 3 stars and weekend hours average 3 hours per resident per day — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor on a typical overnight or weekend shift.
Management company's role day to day
Creative Solutions In Healthcare manages the facility — ask what decisions are made locally versus by the management company, and who a family contacts when a concern arises.
Resident Council activity
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets and how families are kept informed of concerns it raises.
