What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 200 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 41 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — sicker, or less mobile on average — so the same staffing hours stretch thinner than the raw minutes suggest.
CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect here within the past 36 months. This finding is reflected in the 1-star health inspection rating.
Two CMS fines totaling $38,860 have been issued. About 30% of facilities in Texas have no fines at all; the state median fine total among those that do receive fines is $20,699.
The facility is operating at roughly 68% of its 130 licensed beds, with an average of 88 residents per day. Quality-of-care outcome measures — tracking things like pressure wounds, falls, and pain management — rate 5 stars for both long-stay and short-stay residents.

Questions to ask when you tour
Nature of the abuse finding
CMS has a substantiated abuse or neglect finding here from the past 36 months — ask what happened, what was changed, and how staff are now trained and monitored.
Staffing on nights and weekends
Reported weekend nursing hours run at 3.06 per resident per day, below the weekday figure — ask how many nurses and aides are on each shift Saturday and Sunday.
Details behind the two fines
Two federal fines totaling $38,860 have been issued; ask what specific deficiencies triggered them and what corrective steps were taken.
Why occupancy is low
The facility is running at about 68% of licensed capacity — ask whether that reflects a recent change in admissions, staffing constraints, or something else.
How strong outcomes are sustained
Resident outcome measures rate 5 stars despite lower staffing hours — ask which specific protocols or care-planning practices the team credits for that result.
Management company's role
The licensed owner is Dallas County Hospital District, but day-to-day operations are run by JS Mesquite Operations LP — ask which company sets staffing levels, hires staff, and handles complaints.
