What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 2 stars. Each resident receives about 177 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 64 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, where that threshold is 241 minutes. Of those 177 minutes, only 18 come from a registered nurse. Residents here require more hands-on help than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so the same nursing hours stretch thinner than the raw numbers already suggest.
Two CMS fines totaling $17,459 have been assessed; about 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all. The state median fine total among facilities that do have fines is $20,699, so this facility's total runs below that midpoint.
The facility is operating at roughly 56% of its 122 licensed beds — about 69 residents on an average day. That gap between licensed capacity and actual census is present alongside the 2-star health inspection and staffing ratings.
The 4-star quality-of-care rating covers how residents fare on tracked health outcomes — things like pressure wounds, falls, and pain management. That rating sits alongside the 2-star staffing and inspection scores.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Reported weekend nursing hours here average 2.70 per resident per day — below the already-low weekday figure; ask how many nurses and aides are scheduled on a typical weekend overnight.
How the 4-star outcomes are maintained
Quality-of-care measures rate 4 stars despite 2-star staffing — ask which specific outcome measures drive that score and how the care team monitors them with current staffing levels.
Why occupancy is around 56%
The facility averages roughly 69 residents against 122 licensed beds; ask what accounts for the low census and whether any wings or units are currently closed.
Details on the two CMS fines
CMS issued two fines totaling $17,459; ask what deficiencies triggered each fine and what changes were made in response.
Resident Council activity and access
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how often the Resident Council meets and how family members can raise concerns between visits.
Management company's role day to day
The licensed owner is a hospital district authority, but day-to-day management is handled by McAllen HC, LLC; ask who makes staffing and care-policy decisions and which entity family members should contact with concerns.
