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 · Jan 31, 2025 · F-0693

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.

Why it matters: Unnecessary or poorly managed feeding tubes can cause serious complications like lung infections and take away the ability to eat normally.

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 7, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Feb 7, 2024 · F-0726 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not make sure its nurses and nurse aides had the skills and training needed to properly care for every resident.

Why it matters: Undertrained caregivers are more likely to miss warning signs and make care mistakes.

Corrected: Feb 5, 2024 (Past Non-Compliance)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Feb 7, 2024 · F-0760 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not keep residents free from significant medication errors — such as giving the wrong drug, the wrong dose, or missing a critical medication.

Why it matters: A serious medication error can cause real harm, hospitalization, or worse.

Corrected: Feb 5, 2024 (Past Non-Compliance)

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)	3.90	3.46	3.95	top 17% in Texas; top 44% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.62	0.44	0.69	top 14% in Texas; top 45% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	3.37	3.04	3.50	top 21% in Texas; top 49% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.51	0.34	0.48	top 12% in Texas; top 31% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	56.1	55.3	45.8	bottom 41% in Texas; bottom 23% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	58.3	54.6	42.9	bottom 43% in Texas; bottom 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 3.45, RN 0.55, weekend 2.98. 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.
