What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5
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 · May 8, 2025 · F-0660 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not properly plan a resident's discharge to meet the resident's goals and needs after leaving.
Why it matters: Poor discharge planning can send a resident home or elsewhere without the support, equipment, or follow-up care they need.
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: May 9, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · May 8, 2025 · F-0661 · triggered by a complaint
When a resident had a planned discharge, the facility did not make sure the necessary information was communicated to the resident and to the doctors or facility taking over their care.
Why it matters: Missing handoff information — like current medications and conditions — is a common cause of dangerous errors after discharge.
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: May 9, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · May 8, 2025 · F-0835 · triggered by a complaint
The facility was not managed in a way that uses its money, staff, and resources effectively and efficiently to care for residents.
Why it matters: Poor administration often shows up as understaffing, supply shortages, and care problems across the whole facility.
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: May 9, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Feb 5, 2025 · F-0697 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide safe and appropriate pain management for a resident who needed it.
Why it matters: Untreated pain causes needless suffering and can lead to depression, poor sleep, and declining health.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Feb 3, 2025 (Past Non-Compliance)

| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |
|---|---|---|
| Dec 10, 2025 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility used feeding tubes without a valid medical reason or the resident's agreement, or did not provide proper care to residents who have feeding tubes. · from a complaint |

| Dec 5, 2025 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not give residents reasonable access to and privacy in using ways to communicate, such as phones, mail, and email. Residents have the right to stay in touch with the outside world privately. · from a complaint |
| Dec 5, 2025 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not label drugs according to professional standards or did not store them in locked compartments, with controlled drugs (medications with a high risk of misuse) kept under a separate lock. · from a complaint |

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) | 3.92 | 3.46 | 3.95 | top 17% in Texas; top 43% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.62 | 0.44 | 0.69 | top 15% in Texas; top 46% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.46 | 3.04 | 3.50 | top 18% in Texas; top 44% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.63 | 0.34 | 0.48 | top 7% in Texas; top 21% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 54.6 | 55.3 | 45.8 | bottom 44% in Texas; bottom 26% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 40.0 | 54.6 | 42.9 | top 30% in Texas; top 46% 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 4.34, RN 0.68, weekend 3.83. Staffing rating: 3/5.
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: 5/5
