What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars — roughly the bottom third of Texas nursing homes on this measure. Each resident receives about 198 minutes of nursing care per day, approximately 43 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so those 198 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
About 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas nursing homes at the 75th percentile see 60% annual turnover, so this facility sits right at that upper boundary. A resident who stays for several months will likely move through multiple primary caregivers during that time.
CMS has recorded 2 fines totaling $38,771 since the facility's data window. The state median for fined facilities in Texas is about $20,699 per facility, placing this total above the midpoint; roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all in the same period.
The facility's 1-star short-stay quality rating stands apart from its 3-star overall and 4-star long-stay quality scores. Short-stay residents are typically people recovering from a hospitalization — a hip replacement, a stroke, a serious illness — and the gap between the 1-star short-stay and 4-star long-stay ratings means outcomes for that group differ meaningfully from outcomes for permanent residents.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours here average 2.86 hours per resident per day, below the already-low weekday figure — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty on a Saturday night.
Short-stay outcomes and care planning
CMS rates short-stay quality at 1 star; ask which specific measures drove that score and what the facility has changed in response.
Nursing staff retention efforts
With roughly 6 in 10 nursing staff leaving in the past year, ask what the facility is doing to reduce turnover and how long current aides on the floor have been here.
Details behind the two CMS fines
Two fines totaling $38,771 have been assessed; ask what deficiencies triggered them and whether the cited problems have been re-inspected and cleared.
Family Council availability
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how family members currently raise concerns and who the designated contact is when issues arise.
Management continuity under Creative Solutions
Creative Solutions In Healthcare manages multiple facilities; ask how many facilities the regional director oversees and how often they visit this location.
