What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier among Texas nursing homes, a threshold met by about 38% of facilities statewide. Each resident receives roughly 172 minutes of nursing care per day, about 69 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they are sicker or less mobile on average — so those 172 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
About 7 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas nursing homes at the 75th percentile see 60% annual turnover; this facility's 65.9% sits above that mark. A long-stay resident will likely cycle through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.
CMS has issued two fines totaling $119,462 against this facility. The state median total fine amount across penalized Texas nursing homes is $20,699 — this facility's total is roughly six times that figure. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.
Quality-of-care outcome measures rate 4 stars — both long-stay and short-stay scores hold at that level. This rating reflects documented resident outcomes such as rates of falls, pressure injuries, and hospital readmissions, not staffing levels or inspection results.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Reported weekend nursing hours per resident run about 2.5 per day — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor on a Saturday night and how that compares to a weekday.
Details behind the two CMS fines
Two CMS fines totaling $119,462 have been assessed; ask what deficiencies triggered each fine and what specific changes were made in response.
Staff continuity for long-stay residents
With roughly 7 in 10 nursing staff leaving in the past year, ask how the facility assigns consistent caregivers to residents who live here long-term.
RN presence during off-hours
Reported registered-nurse hours average about 15 minutes per resident per day; ask whether a registered nurse is on-site — not just on-call — during overnight and weekend shifts.
Management company's role day-to-day
The facility is licensed to a hospital district but managed by 221 Cedar Dr Opco LLC under the Touchstone Communities brand; ask who makes staffing and care decisions and who to contact when a concern arises.
How the 4-star outcomes are maintained
Outcome measures rate 4 stars despite 1-star staffing; ask which specific outcome metrics they track and how often care plans are reviewed when a resident's condition changes.
