What the data says
CMS rates this facility 1 star on health inspections and has flagged it as a Special Focus candidate — a step below the worst-performing designation, applied when a facility shows a sustained pattern of serious deficiencies. CMS has also substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect here within the past 36 months. Together, these two flags represent the most serious regulatory signals CMS issues.
Four fines totaling $99,748 have been assessed. Texas's median fine total across all fined facilities is about $20,699, and roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all — putting this facility's penalty total well above the state midpoint.
Staffing rates 2 stars. Each resident receives about 176 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 65 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. About 32% of Texas nursing homes share this rating tier. Registered nurse time is 15 minutes per resident per day, against a 4-star threshold of 37 minutes in Texas.
About 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas's 75th-percentile cutoff for turnover is 60% — this facility sits just above that line. A long-stay resident will likely cycle through multiple primary caregivers over the course of a year.
Despite the inspection, staffing, and safety findings, CMS rates resident outcome measures at 4 stars for long-stay residents. That means the measurable health outcomes tracked — things like hospitalizations, falls with injury, and pressure wounds — are rated above most peers, even as staffing and inspection records lag.
The facility is operating at roughly 62% of its 118 licensed beds, with 73.6 residents on an average day. Low occupancy, when paired with the safety and inspection signals present here, can reflect difficulty attracting new admissions.
