What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 5/5
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 · Dec 2, 2023 · F-0695
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: Dec 19, 2023 (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) | 4.68 | 3.46 | 3.95 | top 6% in Texas; top 19% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 1.18 | 0.44 | 0.69 | top 1% in Texas; top 10% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 4.24 | 3.04 | 3.50 | top 5% in Texas; top 17% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.83 | 0.34 | 0.48 | top 2% in Texas; top 10% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 46.8 | 55.3 | 45.8 | top 37% in Texas; bottom 45% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 27.3 | 54.6 | 42.9 | top 14% in Texas; top 24% 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 4.42, RN 1.12, weekend 4.01. Staffing rating: 5/5.
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: 4/5 · long-stay residents: 4/5 · short-stay residents: 4/5
