What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 3 stars. Each resident receives about 201 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 40 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, which sits at 241 minutes. About 19% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating. Registered nurse time runs at about 24 minutes per resident per day, compared to 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing Texas facility.
Turnover among nursing staff is low: roughly 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas nursing homes at the 25th percentile sit at 42% — this facility comes in below that, meaning turnover is better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state.
The facility has one CMS fine totaling $14,020. The median fine total among Texas nursing homes that received any fine is about $20,699, and roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes had no fines at all.
The facility is operating at about 45% of its 114 licensed beds — around 52 residents on an average day. That gap between licensed capacity and actual occupancy is substantial.

Questions to ask when you tour
Reason for low occupancy
The facility runs at roughly 45% of its 114 licensed beds — ask what's driving that and whether staffing or services have been scaled back to match.
Staffing levels on weekends
CMS data shows weekend nursing hours average about 174 minutes per resident — ask how the weekend schedule compares to weekday coverage and who is on call.
Registered nurse hours per day
Reported RN time runs about 24 minutes per resident daily; ask how many RNs are on-site each shift and whether an RN is always present overnight.
The one CMS fine
A $14,020 fine appears in CMS records — ask what the citation was for and what specific changes the facility made in response.
Resident Council activity
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how often it meets and how family members can raise concerns if they can't attend in person.
Management company's role
The facility is licensed under a hospital district but managed by Kirbyville I Enterprises — ask which entity makes day-to-day staffing and care decisions.
