What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the lowest tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Staffing hours per resident are not reported in the CMS data for this facility, so a direct minutes-per-day comparison to peers is not possible from this record.
Roughly 2 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year — below the state's 25th-percentile cutoff, meaning RN turnover is better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in Texas. Overall nursing staff turnover runs at 49.2%, which sits near the Texas median of 50%.
Two administrators have left in the past year. Leadership turnover at that pace tends to disrupt care routines and staff continuity that residents depend on day to day.
CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect here within the past 36 months. This designation appears on CMS Care Compare and is based on findings from state inspections.
Four CMS fines totaling $63,129 have been issued — roughly three times the Texas median fine total of $20,699. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines.
