What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Reported nursing hours per resident per day were not submitted to CMS, so a direct minutes comparison isn't available; the 1-star rating reflects CMS's assessment of staffing levels relative to how dependent the residents are. That gap between what staff are providing and what residents need is what the rating captures.
Quality measures — things like pressure wounds, falls, pain management, and the use of restraints — rate 5 stars for long-stay residents and 4 stars for short-stay residents. These are tracked outcomes reported separately from staffing counts.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $29,381. The median fine among Texas nursing homes that received any fine was $20,699, and about 30% of Texas nursing homes had no fines at all in the same period.
The facility is running at roughly 29% of its 95 licensed beds — about 28 residents on an average day. A facility certified for 95 beds but consistently housing fewer than 30 residents operates with a very different staffing-to-resident ratio and financial footing than a fuller building.

Questions to ask when you tour
Why staffing rates 1 star
CMS assigned the lowest staffing rating; ask the administrator what the current nurse-to-resident ratio looks like on a typical day shift and overnight.
Nursing hours not reported to CMS
Reported nursing hours per resident weren't submitted to CMS — ask why, and how the facility tracks and documents daily staffing levels.
Only 28 residents in a 95-bed building
At roughly 29% occupancy, ask how the facility structures staffing and programming around such a small resident population.
The $29,381 fine
One CMS fine was issued — ask what the deficiency was, what corrective steps were taken, and whether the underlying issue has been re-inspected.
No Family Council on record
CMS shows only a Resident Council here; ask whether a Family Council exists or how families raise concerns if one does not.
Management company relationship
The facility is licensed to Stratford Hospital District but managed by Cypress Springs Wellness & Rehabilitation LLC — ask how day-to-day decisions are made and which entity families should contact about care.
