What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · 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 · Dec 9, 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: Jan 8, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Dec 9, 2024 · F-0607 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not develop and follow policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. These written safeguards are the foundation of resident protection.
Why it matters: Without working prevention policies, mistreatment is more likely to happen and less likely to be caught.
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: Jan 8, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Dec 9, 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.

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) | 3.19 | 3.46 | 3.95 | bottom 39% in Texas; bottom 21% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.24 | 0.44 | 0.69 | bottom 14% in Texas; bottom 4% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.66 | 3.04 | 3.50 | bottom 27% in Texas; bottom 15% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.20 | 0.34 | 0.48 | bottom 22% in Texas; bottom 12% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 79.7 | 55.3 | 45.8 | bottom 13% in Texas; bottom 2% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 80.0 | 54.6 | 42.9 | bottom 21% in Texas; bottom 6% 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 2.82, RN 0.21, weekend 2.35. Staffing rating: 1/5.
