What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 3 stars — about 182 minutes of nursing care per resident per day, roughly 59 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. That gap matters more here than the raw number suggests: residents at this facility tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical nursing home — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those 182 minutes stretch thinner than they would elsewhere.
RN turnover is exceptionally low: 0 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year, putting this facility below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff and better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state on that measure. Total nursing staff turnover ran at 45.9%, which sits between the state's 25th percentile (42%) and median (50%) — neither elevated nor particularly low.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $8,173 over the measured period. The state median fine amount across Texas nursing homes is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas facilities have no fines at all. This facility's single fine falls below that state median.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours here average 2.79 hours per resident per day — lower than the weekday figure; ask how many nurses and aides are on duty during evenings and weekends.
How care plans address complex needs
Quality measures rate 2 stars despite a 4-star inspection record; ask how the team identifies and responds when a resident's condition isn't improving as expected.
Registered nurse coverage schedule
Reported RN hours average 33 minutes per resident per day; ask how many hours each day a registered nurse is physically present in the building.
Family Council availability
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how family members raise concerns and who they contact when they can't resolve an issue directly with staff.
Current bed availability
The facility is running at about 76% occupancy with 45 residents in 60 beds; ask whether the unit your parent would be placed in has a stable census or is seeing frequent admissions and discharges.
