What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the lowest level, shared by about 38% of Texas nursing homes. Each resident receives roughly 220 minutes of nursing care per day, about 21 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that total, only 8 minutes per day comes from a registered nurse, compared to 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing facility in the state. Residents who need a nurse's clinical judgment — wound assessment, medication changes, acute symptoms — have limited access to one on a typical day.
Nursing staff turnover runs at roughly 3 in 10 over the past year, placing this facility below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff — better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. For long-stay residents, that relative consistency in caregivers is a concrete day-to-day difference.
One administrator has turned over in the past year. A single change is one step above baseline and can create a lag in how leadership priorities translate to floor-level care.
CMS has issued two fines totaling $90,049. The state median fine total across Texas nursing homes is about $20,699, and roughly 30% of facilities have no fines at all. These two penalties together run more than four times the state median.
