What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 186 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 55 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, which sits at 241 minutes. Residents here also tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those 186 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
Two administrators have left in the past year. That level of leadership turnover creates organizational instability that residents and frontline staff tend to feel directly.
The facility has had 1 CMS fine totaling $8,278 since the current data period. Texas's median fine total across fined facilities is $20,699, and roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all.
The facility is operating at approximately 48% of its 109 licensed beds — about 52 residents on a given day. At this level of occupancy, paired with the staffing and leadership signals above, the bed count alone does not explain the low census.

Questions to ask when you tour
Administrator stability going forward
Two administrators left in the past year — ask who is currently in the role, how long they have been there, and whether the position is considered filled permanently.
Staffing hours on nights and weekends
CMS rates staffing 2 stars and weekend nursing hours are reported at 2.75 hours per resident per day — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor on a Saturday night shift.
Why occupancy is near half
The facility is running at roughly 48% of licensed beds; ask whether admissions are restricted, a unit is closed, or another operational factor is keeping census this low.
How the 5-star quality score is maintained
Quality-of-care rates 5 stars despite 2-star staffing — ask which specific measures drive that rating and how care plans are reviewed when staffing is lean.
Resident Council activity
A Resident Council exists here but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets and how family members can raise concerns formally.
