What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 164 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 77 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, which puts this facility among the bottom 32% of Texas nursing homes on staffing. Beyond the raw minutes, residents here require more hands-on care than at a typical facility — more dependent or medically complex on average — so the same hours stretch thinner than the number alone suggests.
About 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year. Texas's 75th-percentile turnover cutoff is 60% — this facility sits right at that boundary, meaning a long-stay resident will likely cycle through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year. RN turnover runs at 60%, a figure that tracks the same pattern.
Three federal fines have been issued totaling $241,937. The Texas median fine total across fined facilities is $20,699 — this facility's total is nearly 12 times that figure. Roughly 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.
The facility is operating at approximately 39% of its 162 licensed beds, with an average of 63 residents per day. That level of vacancy, alongside severe fines and high turnover, is a combination that warrants direct questions about current staffing coverage and any plans for census growth.
Quality-of-care outcome measures — tracking things like pressure wounds, falls, and pain management — rate 4 stars for long-stay residents. That sits alongside a 2-star health inspection rating and 2-star staffing rating, a pairing that is uncommon and worth exploring directly with staff.

Questions to ask when you tour
Explaining the $241,937 in fines
Ask what the three federal fines were issued for, whether the cited deficiencies have been corrected, and what documentation exists showing the corrections.
Staffing coverage on nights and weekends
Reported weekend nursing hours run below the already low weekday figure — ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor during overnight and weekend shifts specifically.
Why so many beds are empty
With only 63 of 162 beds occupied, ask whether low census has affected staffing levels, and what the facility's plan is if occupancy changes significantly.
Staff continuity for a specific resident
Given that roughly 6 in 10 nursing staff left last year, ask how the facility assigns consistent caregivers to residents and how handoffs are managed when staff turn over.
How 4-star outcomes are achieved here
Quality-of-care outcomes rate 4 stars while inspections and staffing rate 2 — ask which specific measures drive that outcome score and how care plans are reviewed.
Current administrator tenure
One administrator departure was recorded in the past year — ask how long the current administrator has been in place and who oversees operations day to day.
