What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 217 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 24 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. That figure includes about 18 minutes of registered nurse time daily. Roughly 32% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating.
About 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. That puts turnover below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff — better than roughly three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. Resident care is not being disrupted by frequent staff changes here.
CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect at this facility within the past 36 months. This is a formal CMS determination based on inspection evidence, not an allegation.
Four CMS fines totaling $167,925 have been assessed. The state median for fines among Texas nursing homes that receive any is about $20,699 — this facility's total is roughly eight times that figure. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all.
The facility is operating at roughly 64% of its 84 licensed beds — about 54 residents on a typical day. Paired with the 1-star overall rating and abuse findings, that occupancy level reflects how families in the area are responding to the public record.

Questions to ask when you tour
Abuse findings and current safeguards
CMS has substantiated abuse or neglect findings here within the past 36 months — ask specifically what incidents occurred, what staff were involved, and what policy changes followed.
Four fines totaling $167,925
Ask what each of the four CMS fines was for and how the facility corrected the deficiencies that triggered them.
Registered nurse coverage each day
CMS data shows about 18 minutes of registered nurse time per resident per day — ask how many hours an RN is physically on-site and who provides clinical oversight overnight.
No Family Council in place
The facility has only a Resident Council, not a Family Council — ask how family members formally raise concerns and who receives that feedback.
Current bed occupancy at 64%
With about 30 beds currently unoccupied, ask what the primary reasons are that the census has stayed below capacity.
1-star health inspection history
CMS rates health inspections at 1 star — ask to see the most recent inspection report and what deficiencies remain under active correction plans.
