What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 4/5

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.

All citations in the current public record (7)

CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.

Date	Severity	What the facility was cited for
Jun 17, 2026	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not honor residents' rights to request, refuse, or stop treatment, to decline participation in medical research, or to make an advance directive — a written statement of their wishes for future medical care.
Jun 17, 2026	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not have enough nursing staff each day to meet every resident's needs, or did not have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. Adequate staffing is one of the strongest predictors of good care.
Jun 17, 2026	E · Potential for harm, repeated	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.
Jun 17, 2026	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not keep its building and grounds safe, functional, clean, and comfortable for residents, staff, and visitors.
Jun 17, 2026	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not maintain an effective pest control program to prevent or deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
Jun 17, 2026	C · Minimal risk, facility-wide	The facility did not electronically submit complete and accurate staffing information to the government, based on payroll and other verifiable records.
May 7, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	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. · 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)	0.00	3.46	3.95	—
Registered Nurse hours	0.00	0.44	0.69	—
Weekend total nurse staffing	0.00	3.04	3.50	—
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.00	0.34	0.48	—
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	0.0	55.3	45.8	—
RN turnover (%)	0.0	54.6	42.9	—

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 0.00, RN 0.00, weekend 0.00. Staffing rating: 1/5.

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 · short-stay residents: 5/5
