What the data says
CMS rates this facility 1 star on staffing — the lowest tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives about 203 minutes of nursing care per day, roughly 38 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. RN coverage is especially thin at 17 minutes per resident per day, compared to 37 minutes at the 4-star threshold.
About 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. RN turnover is higher still — roughly 8 in 10 RNs departed. A long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.
One CMS fine totaling $392,920 has been issued — nearly 19 times the Texas state median fine of $20,699. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.
The facility is operating at roughly 48% of its 118 licensed beds, with about 57 residents per day. This level of vacancy, paired with the fine, staffing, and turnover figures above, is a pattern that warrants direct questions to management.
CMS rates quality of care 4 stars overall, with a 5-star rating for long-stay residents — the highest tier. Short-stay residents (those recovering from a hospitalization) rate 3 stars. The gap between the 1-star operational ratings and the 4–5 star outcome scores is an unusual combination in the data.

Questions to ask when you tour
The $392,920 fine
Ask what the citation was for, what has changed since, and whether any corrective action plan is still open.
RN coverage on night and weekend shifts
Reported RN hours average 17 minutes per resident per day; ask specifically how many RNs are on duty overnight and on weekends.
Staff turnover and care continuity
With roughly 7 in 10 nursing staff leaving in the past year, ask how the facility assigns consistent caregivers to long-stay residents.
Why so many beds are empty
Only about 57 of 118 beds are filled; ask whether the low census reflects admissions being paused, referral relationships, or another cause.
Administrator tenure and transition
One administrator change was recorded in the past year; ask how long the current administrator has been in the role and who oversees day-to-day operations.
How strong quality scores are sustained
Long-stay quality of care rates 5 stars despite 1-star staffing; ask what care-plan processes or oversight account for that gap.
