What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · 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 14, 2025 · 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: Jul 24, 2025 (Past Non-Compliance)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Mar 13, 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 (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: Mar 14, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Mar 13, 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 (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: Mar 14, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Nov 14, 2024 · F-0925
The facility did not maintain an effective pest control program to prevent or deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
Why it matters: Pests spread germs, contaminate food, and signal broader problems with cleanliness.
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: Jan 3, 2025 (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) | 3.05 | 3.46 | 3.95 | bottom 26% in Texas; bottom 15% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.48 | 0.44 | 0.69 | top 29% in Texas; bottom 35% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.64 | 3.04 | 3.50 | bottom 25% in Texas; bottom 14% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.47 | 0.34 | 0.48 | top 16% in Texas; top 36% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 52.7 | 55.3 | 45.8 | bottom 48% in Texas; bottom 30% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 14.3 | 54.6 | 42.9 | top 3% in Texas; top 7% 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 3.27, RN 0.52, weekend 2.84. 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.
