What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the lowest tier, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives about 137 minutes of nursing care per day, including roughly 27 minutes with a registered nurse. That is 104 minutes less per day than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also require more hands-on daily care than at a typical facility — less mobile or medically more complex on average — so those 137 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests.
The facility is operating at roughly 61% of its 72 licensed beds, with about 44 residents on an average day. That is below what most Texas nursing homes carry.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
With a 1-star staffing rating and 137 daily nursing minutes per resident — well below the Texas 4-star threshold — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty during overnight and weekend shifts specifically.
How residents' care needs are met
CMS data shows residents here have higher-than-average care needs; ask how the facility adjusts staffing or care plans when a resident's condition changes.
Why occupancy is relatively low
The facility averages about 44 residents against 72 licensed beds — ask whether that reflects recent admissions patterns, a staffing decision, or something else.
Management company's day-to-day role
The license is held by West Wharton County Hospital District but managed by San Saba I Enterprises; ask which entity makes staffing and budget decisions on a daily basis.
Resident Council meetings and follow-through
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council; ask how often the council meets and how concerns raised there are documented and addressed.
