What the data says

CMS rates staffing here at 3 stars. Each resident receives about 175 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 66 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those 175 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.

RN turnover is exceptionally low: roughly 2 in 10 registered nurses left in the past year, better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in Texas on that measure. Overall nursing staff turnover sits at 45.9%, just above the Texas 25th-percentile cutoff of 42% but below the state median of 50%.

One administrator has turned over in the past year. This falls into an elevated tier — not full instability, but a change residents and staff feel.

Two CMS fines totaling $23,373 have been assessed. The state median for fined facilities in Texas is $20,699; about 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all.

The facility is operating at roughly 46% of its 90 licensed beds — about 42 residents on an average day. That level of low occupancy, alongside the 2-star quality-measures rating and 1-star short-stay rating, is a combination that warrants close attention when visiting.

Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Short-stay quality rating explanation

    CMS rates this facility 1 star on short-stay quality measures — ask which specific outcomes drove that rating and what has changed since.

  2. Why occupancy is so low

    With roughly 42 residents in a 90-bed building, ask what accounts for the low census and whether any planned changes to admissions or services are expected.

  3. Administrator transition and continuity

    One administrator left in the past year — ask who is currently in the role, how long they have been in place, and how care-plan oversight was handled during the transition.

  4. Staffing on nights and weekends

    Reported weekend nursing hours run at 2.51 hours per resident per day — ask how weekend staffing compares to weekday levels and how call-outs are covered.

  5. Details behind the two CMS fines

    Two fines totaling $23,373 have been assessed — ask what deficiencies triggered them and what corrective steps were taken.

  6. Care planning for short-stay residents

    Given the 1-star short-stay quality rating, ask specifically how the facility tracks and reviews outcomes for residents coming in for rehabilitation after a hospital stay.
