What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Feb 19, 2024 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Feb 20, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Feb 19, 2024 · F-0656 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not develop or follow a complete care plan for each resident — the written roadmap covering all of a resident's needs, with measurable goals and timelines.
Why it matters: Without a complete, working care plan, important needs can slip through the cracks and no one is accountable for results.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Feb 20, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Feb 19, 2024 · F-0657 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not develop a resident's complete plan of care within 7 days of the full assessment, or the plan wasn't prepared, reviewed, and updated by a team of health professionals as required.
Why it matters: Delays or gaps in care planning mean staff may work without a clear, current roadmap for the resident's daily care and treatment.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Feb 20, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Feb 1, 2024 · F-0584 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, including safe support for residents' daily living needs.
Why it matters: An unsafe or unclean environment affects residents' health, comfort, and dignity every single day.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Feb 2, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, facility-wide · Dec 23, 2023 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
Severity (L): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation existed throughout the facility. The single most serious citation CMS can issue.
Corrected: Jan 12, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, facility-wide · Dec 23, 2023 · F-0880 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not have or follow an effective program to prevent and control infections — such as proper hand washing, cleaning, and isolation practices. This is the most commonly cited deficiency nationwide.
Why it matters: Weak infection control lets illnesses like flu, COVID-19, and drug-resistant infections spread quickly among vulnerable residents.
Severity (L): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation existed throughout the facility. The single most serious citation CMS can issue.
Corrected: Feb 2, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, facility-wide · Dec 23, 2023 · F-0882 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not designate a qualified infection preventionist — a trained person responsible for running the infection prevention and control program.
Why it matters: Without a trained person in charge, infections are more likely to spread unchecked among residents.
Severity (L): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation existed throughout the facility. The single most serious citation CMS can issue.
Corrected: Dec 26, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Dec 23, 2023 · F-0695 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide safe and appropriate respiratory care — such as oxygen, breathing treatments, or care for residents on breathing equipment — for residents who needed it.
Why it matters: Mistakes in breathing care can quickly become life-threatening for residents who depend on oxygen or equipment.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Jan 8, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Dec 23, 2023 · F-0726 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not make sure its nurses and nurse aides had the skills and training needed to properly care for every resident.
Why it matters: Undertrained caregivers are more likely to miss warning signs and make care mistakes.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Jan 8, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · May 22, 2026 · F-0684
The facility did not provide treatment and care that follows the doctor's orders and matches the resident's own preferences and goals.
Why it matters: Care that strays from doctor's orders or ignores the resident's wishes can lead to declining health and avoidable harm.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Jul 15, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Texas avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.03 | 3.46 | 3.95 | bottom 25% in Texas; bottom 15% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.40 | 0.44 | 0.69 | top 46% in Texas; bottom 23% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.67 | 3.04 | 3.50 | bottom 28% in Texas; bottom 15% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.29 | 0.34 | 0.48 | bottom 49% in Texas; bottom 30% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 25.6 | 55.3 | 45.8 | top 2% in Texas; top 8% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 28.6 | 54.6 | 42.9 | top 15% in Texas; top 26% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.05, RN 0.41, weekend 2.69. Staffing rating: 2/5.
Self-reported quality measures
Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
Quality measures rating: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: —/5
