What the data says
CMS rates staffing here 1 star. About 38% of Texas nursing homes share that rating — so this isn't rare, but it is the low end of the scale. The facility did not report daily nursing hours to CMS, so a per-resident minute figure isn't available; the 1-star rating reflects what CMS was able to calculate from submitted payroll data.
Despite the staffing rating, roughly 4 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — a rate that falls below Texas's 25th-percentile cutoff, meaning turnover is better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in the state. Registered nurse turnover is even lower: about 1 in 10 RNs left in the past year, which places this facility in the bottom tier of RN departures statewide. The staff that is here tends to stay.
CMS records one fine totaling $13,627. The state median fine total across penalized facilities is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines on record. A single fine below the state median is the full picture here.
Quality-of-care outcomes rate 5 stars overall, with a 5-star score for long-stay residents and a 3-star score for short-stay residents. The gap between long-stay and short-stay scores means residents recovering from a hospital stay and returning home are rated at a different level than those living here permanently.

Questions to ask when you tour
Why staffing hours weren't reported
CMS couldn't calculate daily nursing minutes because payroll data was incomplete — ask what happened and whether reporting is now current.
Nurse coverage on nights and weekends
With a 1-star staffing rating, ask specifically how many nurses and aides are on duty during overnight and weekend shifts.
Short-stay rehab outcomes
Long-stay quality rates 5 stars but short-stay rates 3 — ask what the facility's discharge-to-home rate looks like for rehab patients.
Management company's role day-to-day
The facility is licensed to Oakbend Medical Center but managed by Regency IHS of Yoakum — ask which entity sets staffing levels and handles complaints.
Resident Council activity
A Resident Council is listed but no Family Council — ask how often the Resident Council meets and how families can raise concerns outside of it.
