What the data says
CMS rates this facility 1 star on staffing — the bottom tier among Texas nursing homes, a rating shared by about 38% of facilities statewide. Each resident receives roughly 182 minutes of nursing care per day, about 59 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so those 182 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests.
About 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas nursing homes at the 75th percentile of turnover see 60% departure rates, so this facility sits just above that threshold. A long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.
CMS has issued 5 fines totaling $59,449 since the facility's record begins. The state median for fines among Texas nursing homes that receive any is $20,699; about 30% of Texas facilities have none. The count and dollar total here are above the state median.
The 3-star quality-of-care rating overall splits between a 4-star rating for long-stay residents and a 1-star rating for short-stay residents. These two populations — people living here long-term versus those recovering from a hospital stay — are tracked separately by CMS, and the gap between their ratings is wide.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing on nights and weekends
Reported weekend nursing hours are 2.6 per resident per day versus 3.0 on weekdays — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor overnight and on weekends.
Five fines in the CMS record
CMS issued five fines totaling $59,449 — ask what deficiencies triggered them and what specific changes were made in response.
Nursing staff turnover rate
62% of nursing staff left in the past year — ask how long the current aides and charge nurses on your parent's unit have been in their roles.
Short-stay quality rating
CMS rates short-stay outcomes 1 star while long-stay outcomes rate 4 stars — ask which specific measures drove the short-stay score down and how those are being addressed.
Management company's role
The licensed owner is Guadalupe County Hospital Board, but day-to-day operations are managed by a separate LLC — ask who makes staffing and care decisions and where complaints are escalated.
Waitlist and bed availability
The facility is averaging about 92 residents against 111 licensed beds — ask whether specific unit types or Medicare beds have a waitlist.
