What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 1 star — the lowest possible, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 159 minutes of total nursing care per day, about 82 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. RN coverage averages only 14 minutes per resident per day; a 4-star facility in Texas provides around 37. Residents here tend to need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or medically complex on average — so those already limited hours stretch thinner than the raw numbers suggest.
One administrator has turned over in the past year. This sits above zero but below the pattern seen at facilities with persistent leadership instability; the current administrator of record is Marissa Ruiz-Cerros.
CMS recorded one fine totaling $8,160 in the period covered by this data. About 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all; the state median for facilities that do have fines is $20,699, so this facility's total falls well below that midpoint.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours here average 2.31 hours per resident per day — lower than the weekday figure; ask how many nurses and aides are scheduled on a typical Saturday night shift.
RN coverage during your parent's stay
Reported RN hours average 14 minutes per resident per day; ask whether a registered nurse is on-site around the clock or available only during daytime hours.
How the management company affects daily care
The facility is licensed to a hospital district but operated by San Antonio III Enterprises, LLC; ask who makes staffing and care decisions and how concerns are escalated.
Current waitlist and bed availability
With 117 residents in 144 licensed beds, occupancy runs around 81%; ask whether your preferred room type has a current opening or a waitlist.
What prompted the recent fine
CMS recorded one fine of $8,160; ask what deficiency triggered it and what changes were made in response.
Family Council participation options
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how families are notified of care changes and how they can raise concerns formally.
