What the data says
CMS rates staffing 2 stars here. Each resident receives about 213 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 28 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that total, only 15 minutes comes from a registered nurse; the Texas threshold for 4-star RN staffing is 37 minutes per resident per day.
One administrator has turned over in the past year — an elevated level of leadership instability. Residents and frontline staff often feel leadership transitions most directly in the consistency of daily routines and care-plan follow-through.
The facility is operating at roughly 42% of its 106 licensed beds, with about 44 residents on any given day. That level of vacancy, paired with the 2-star overall and staffing ratings, is a combination worth exploring with the facility directly.

Questions to ask when you tour
Reasons for low occupancy
With roughly 44 residents in a 106-bed building, ask what is driving the vacancy and whether staffing levels are adjusted to reflect the current census.
Administrator transition details
One administrator has left in the past year — ask who is currently in the role, how long they have been in place, and whether another change is expected.
RN coverage on each shift
Reported RN hours average only 15 minutes per resident per day; ask which shifts have a registered nurse physically on the floor and for how many hours.
Gap between ratings and outcomes
Health inspections and staffing both rate 2 stars while quality measures rate 4 stars — ask how the facility explains that gap and what care processes drive the quality scores.
Management company's role on-site
The facility is licensed to Oakbend Medical Center but managed by Dewitt Nursing & Rehabilitation — ask which entity makes daily staffing and care decisions and who residents and families should contact with concerns.
