What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 161 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 80 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, which is a gap of more than an hour per resident each day. Residents here also require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or medically complex on average — so those 161 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
CMS has flagged this facility as a Special Focus Facility Candidate — a step below outright Special Focus Facility designation, signaling a documented pattern of serious deficiencies across inspections. That designation places the facility among the lower-performing nursing homes in Texas and typically leads to more frequent regulatory scrutiny.
Three CMS fines totaling $364,167 have been assessed here. The state median fine total across Texas nursing homes with any fines is roughly $20,699 — this facility's total is more than 17 times that figure. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.
RN turnover runs at roughly 7 in 10 registered nurses leaving in the past year — a high rate. A long-stay resident will likely cycle through multiple primary registered nurses over the course of a year.
This facility is operating at roughly 26% of its 131 licensed beds, with an average of 34.5 residents per day. That low occupancy, paired with the safety flags and fine history above, provides additional context for families evaluating stability.

Questions to ask when you tour
SFF Candidate designation and remediation
Ask what specific deficiencies led to the Special Focus Facility Candidate designation and what concrete steps management has taken to address them.
What the $364,167 in fines covered
Ask which inspection cycles produced the three fines, what violations were cited, and whether any corrective plans have been accepted by CMS.
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekday averages show 161 minutes of nursing care per resident daily; ask how many nursing staff are scheduled overnight and on weekends when coverage typically thins.
RN continuity for your family member
With roughly 7 in 10 registered nurses leaving in the past year, ask how the facility assigns and replaces primary nurses for individual residents.
Current census and waitlist status
The facility is operating at roughly 26% of its 131 licensed beds; ask whether that reflects a temporary dip, planned downsizing, or a structural shift in admissions.
Management company role in daily operations
The licensee is a public hospital district but the management company is FPACP Linden LLC; ask which entity sets staffing levels, hires administrators, and holds budget authority.
