What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · 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, one-off · Aug 7, 2024 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.
Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.
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: Apr 24, 2024 (Past Non-Compliance)

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) | 2.95 | 3.46 | 3.95 | bottom 20% in Texas; bottom 12% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.52 | 0.44 | 0.69 | top 24% in Texas; bottom 41% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.49 | 3.04 | 3.50 | bottom 15% in Texas; bottom 9% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.49 | 0.34 | 0.48 | top 14% in Texas; top 34% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 59.5 | 55.3 | 45.8 | bottom 34% in Texas; bottom 17% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 50.0 | 54.6 | 42.9 | top 41% in Texas; bottom 39% 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 3.07, RN 0.54, weekend 2.59. Staffing rating: 1/5.
