What the data says

CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by roughly 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives about 167 minutes of nursing care per day, approximately 74 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they are sicker or less mobile on average — so those 167 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. Registered nurses account for only 27 of those minutes, compared to 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing facility in the state.

Roughly 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas nursing homes at the 75th percentile of turnover hit 60% — this facility's 67.8% rate sits above that mark. A long-stay resident will likely cycle through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.

CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect here within the past 36 months. This is a formal CMS finding, not an allegation; it appears on the facility's Care Compare record.

The facility has received 4 CMS fines totaling $83,033. The statewide median fine total is about $20,699, and roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.

The facility is operating at roughly 65% of its 124 licensed beds — about 81 residents on an average day. Paired with the safety flags, high turnover, and 1-star ratings, the low occupancy fits a pattern of broader distress rather than an isolated data point.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Details on the abuse finding

    CMS has a substantiated abuse or neglect finding on record here — ask what happened, what changed in response, and when the finding was made.

  2. Staffing levels on nights and weekends

    Reported weekend nursing hours run at 2.45 minutes per resident per hour — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor during overnight and weekend shifts specifically.

  3. Staff continuity for long-stay residents

    Nearly 7 in 10 nursing staff left last year — ask how assignments are structured so a long-stay resident sees consistent caregivers from week to week.

  4. Context behind the four fines

    Four CMS fines totaling $83,033 have been assessed — ask what deficiencies triggered each fine and what corrective steps were taken afterward.

  5. Reason for lower-than-typical occupancy

    The facility is running at about 65% capacity — ask whether that reflects recent admissions pauses, discharge trends, or something else currently affecting operations.

  6. How the Resident Council operates

    A Resident Council meets here but no Family Council exists — ask how family members can raise concerns and how those concerns reach administration.
