What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the lowest tier, shared by roughly 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives about 188 minutes of total nursing care per day, approximately 53 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that, only 18 minutes involve a registered nurse, compared to 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing facility in the state. Residents here tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those nursing minutes stretch thinner than the raw numbers already suggest.
CMS issued one fine totaling $37,050. The state median fine across Texas nursing homes that received any fine is about $20,699, so this single penalty is roughly 79% above that midpoint. About 30% of Texas nursing homes had no fines at all in the same period.
The facility is operating at 72% of its 110 licensed beds — roughly 30 beds unoccupied on an average day. Paired with the 1-star staffing rating and the fine above, the lower occupancy is part of a broader pattern in the record.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on weekends
Weekend nursing hours here average 2.76 hours per resident per day — lower than the already-low weekday figure; ask how many nurses and aides are scheduled Saturday and Sunday.
RN coverage each day
Reported RN time is 18 minutes per resident per day; ask whether a registered nurse is on-site around the clock or only during certain shifts.
Details behind the $37,050 fine
CMS issued one fine of $37,050; ask what deficiency triggered it and what corrective steps have been completed since.
Current bed availability and waitlist
The facility averages about 80 residents against 110 licensed beds; ask whether specific wings or care levels account for the open capacity.
Resident Council access and meeting schedule
A Resident Council is listed but no Family Council; ask how families are formally notified of concerns raised in Resident Council meetings.
Management company's role day to day
The licensee is Starr County Hospital District while day-to-day operations run under SSC McAllen Retama Operating Company; ask which entity sets staffing budgets and responds to care complaints.
