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 195 minutes of nursing care per day, including just 21 minutes from a registered nurse. That is 46 minutes per day below the level at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or medically complex on average — so those 195 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $247,572. The state median fine across Texas nursing homes is about $20,699, and 30% of facilities have no fines at all. A single penalty of this size is uncommon in scale.
The facility is operating at roughly 73% of its 90 licensed beds — about 65 residents on an average day. That level of vacancy, paired with a 1-star staffing rating and a large fine, is a pattern that warrants direct questions on the tour.
Quality-of-care measures rate 5 stars for short-stay residents and 4 stars for long-stay residents — the highest and second-highest tiers. Those scores come from clinical outcome data such as rates of falls, pressure injuries, and hospital readmissions, and they sit well above what the staffing and inspection ratings would predict.

Questions to ask when you tour
What the $247,572 fine covered
CMS recorded one fine totaling $247,572 — ask what deficiency triggered it and what specific changes followed the citation.
Registered nurse hours each day
CMS data shows 21 minutes of RN time per resident per day; ask how many RNs are on the floor during day, evening, and overnight shifts.
Why beds are running at 73% capacity
The facility averages about 65 residents in 90 licensed beds — ask whether that reflects a staffing decision, a discharge pattern, or something else.
How quality scores stay high with low staffing
Short-stay quality measures rate 5 stars despite a 1-star staffing rating; ask how care plans are monitored and by whom when RN hours are limited.
Resident Council access and frequency
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how often the council meets and how family members can raise concerns in its absence.
Management company's role in daily operations
Benevolent Healthcare Partners manages the facility under a Hospital District license — ask who sets staffing levels and how the management contract works in practice.
