This home is ranked 81st out of 240 homes in Texas.| Staff type | Hours / day | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
|
14m per day | ▼ 46% State avg: 26m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
|
29m per day | ▼ 49% State avg: 57m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.

Total Nursing (Weekend)
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.

|
RN (Weekend)
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.

Exercise Programs
In Texas, the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is the primary regulatory body that conducts unannounced inspections and publishes quality reports for all long-term care homes.
The data displayed corresponds to the last 5 years.
Inspections are mandatory, regular evaluations conducted by state health departments or regulatory agencies. They ensure the community provides safe, compliant care, covering areas like resident health, staff and management.
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Texas average: 32 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on November 21, 2025, identified a deficiency related to the facility’s failure to provide hot water for resident showers, which affected resident self-determination; this issue was substantiated and addressed during the investigation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving resident safety and care, including failure to protect residents from abuse, medication storage and administration errors, inadequate staffing, and environmental concerns. Prior reports noted issues with medication management, pest control, and dietary staff certifications, as well as substantiated complaints about resident-to-resident abuse and medication errors. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility has shown some responsiveness by repairing the hot water system promptly, but the recurring themes of medication management and resident safety suggest ongoing areas for improvement.
