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 212 minutes of nursing care per day, approximately 29 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so those 212 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. RN coverage specifically comes to about 24 minutes per resident per day, against 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing Texas facility.
Two CMS fines totaling $188,884 have been assessed against this facility. The median fine total among penalized Texas nursing homes is about $20,699, placing this facility well above the typical penalty range. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.
One administrator has turned over in the past year. A single change is noted here — not the two-or-more threshold that signals organizational instability, but a leadership transition that can affect day-to-day operations.
The facility is operating at roughly 46% of its 150 licensed beds, with an average of about 70 residents on any given day. Low occupancy combined with the fines and staffing signals above is a combination worth examining when you visit.

Questions to ask when you tour
Reason for the two large fines
Two CMS fines totaling $188,884 were assessed — ask what specific deficiencies triggered each fine and what corrective steps were taken.
Staffing levels on evenings and weekends
Weekend nursing hours here average about 169 minutes per resident per day, below the already-low weekday figure — ask how staffing is scheduled on nights and weekends.
Current administrator tenure
One administrator turned over in the past year; ask how long the current administrator has been in the role and who oversees operations above the facility level.
Why occupancy is near half capacity
Only about 70 of 150 beds are occupied on an average day — ask whether low census reflects recent discharges, a referral slowdown, or something else.
How residents raise concerns without a family council
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask what the process is for family members to formally surface concerns or request meetings with staff.
Nurse staffing on a typical day
CMS data shows about 24 minutes of RN time per resident per day — ask how many registered nurses are on the floor during day, evening, and overnight shifts.
