What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 2 stars. Each resident receives about 210 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 31 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, which averages 241 minutes. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so those 210 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. RN coverage specifically runs about 24 minutes per resident per day, against a 37-minute threshold for 4-star facilities in Texas.
Two CMS fines totaling $38,518 have been assessed. To put that in context, the median fine total among fined Texas nursing homes is about $20,699, and roughly 30% of Texas facilities have no fines at all.
The facility is running at about 61% of its 150 licensed beds, averaging 91 residents per day. Low occupancy at a facility with a 2-star staffing rating and fines on record is a combination that can reflect difficulty attracting referrals.

What the two fines covered
CMS assessed two fines totaling $38,518 — ask what deficiencies triggered them and what the facility changed in response.
Why occupancy sits at 61%
