What the data says
CMS rates this facility 2 stars on staffing. Each resident receives about 185 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 56 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, which puts it near the bottom of what CMS designates 1-star staffing territory statewide. Residents here need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so those 185 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. Registered nurses account for only 18 of those minutes, compared to 37 at a 4-star-staffing Texas facility.
Roughly 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. That rate falls below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff — better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state — meaning the care team here is more stable than most.
CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect at this facility within the past 36 months. This flag is distinct from unresolved complaints; it reflects findings that surveyors confirmed.
Six CMS fines totaling $368,377 have been assessed at this facility. The state median across fined Texas nursing homes is about $20,699, and roughly 30% of Texas facilities have no fines at all. This total is roughly 18 times the state median.
The facility is operating at approximately 34% of its 199 licensed beds — about 68 residents on a given day. That gap between licensed capacity and actual occupancy is pronounced.
CMS rates long-stay care outcomes 5 stars and short-stay outcomes 3 stars. Long-stay ratings cover things like pressure wounds, falls, and pain management for residents living there permanently; short-stay ratings cover recovery-focused residents. The 5-star long-stay score sits alongside the 1-star overall and staffing ratings.

Questions to ask when you tour
About the confirmed abuse finding
CMS has a substantiated abuse or neglect finding on record here — ask administrators what happened, what policy changes followed, and how incidents are reported to families today.
Six fines totaling $368,377
Ask which deficiencies triggered each of the six CMS fines and what corrective actions were completed or are still under review.
Why occupancy is so low
The facility is running at roughly 34% capacity — about 68 of 199 beds filled — and understanding whether that reflects planned downsizing, staffing limits, or referral patterns matters for continuity of care.
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Reported weekend nursing hours run about 2.7 hours per resident per day, below the already low weekday figure — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty overnight and on Saturdays and Sundays.
How the Resident Council operates
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets, who attends from management, and how families receive updates on concerns raised.
Long-stay outcomes vs. overall record
Long-stay care rates 5 stars while the overall rating is 1 star — ask which specific measures drive the high long-stay score and whether those residents are in a distinct unit or program.
