What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 2 stars — a tier shared by about 32% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives approximately 177 minutes of nursing care per day, about 64 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — on average sicker or less mobile — so the same daily hours stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. RN coverage runs to about 18 minutes per resident per day, compared with 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas.
Turnover among nursing staff runs low: roughly 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year, below the Texas 25th-percentile cutoff of 42% — better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. The record does not flag RN turnover as unusual in either direction.
The facility is operating at roughly 69% of its 138 licensed beds — about 43 beds currently unoccupied. This is paired with a 2-star staffing rating and a resident population that, on average, requires more intensive care than peers.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours average 277 minutes per resident per day here — ask how many nurses and aides are on duty overnight and on Sundays specifically.
Why so many beds are vacant
With roughly 43 of 138 beds unoccupied, ask whether the facility is actively admitting residents and what is driving the lower census.
RN presence during a typical shift
Reported RN hours work out to about 18 minutes per resident per day — ask how many hours a registered nurse is physically on the floor each day.
Care plans for higher-need residents
Residents here require more hands-on care than average; ask how frequently care plans are reviewed and who leads those reviews.
Resident Council access and meeting frequency
A Resident Council is on record but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets and how families can raise concerns between visits.
Relationship with the hospital district
The licensee is Stratford Hospital District, while daily operations run through a separate management company — ask how decisions about staffing and care are divided between the two.
