A comprehensive state inspection on March 15, 2022, cited six violations: four Life Safety Code instances covering fire alarm and smoke detection systems, resident bedroom doors, sprinkler system inspections, and extinguisher inspections, plus one NFPA 96 non-compliance for a commercial range hood and exhaust system. No Health Code deficiencies were found.
Previous Life Safety Code deficiencies were corrected between June 28, 2019, and July 12, 2019. Over four years, Holly Hall accumulated 18 health citations: zero critical, zero serious, 17 moderate, and one minor. Recent moderate citations address Quality of Care (October 2024, June 2024, April 2024) and Resident Rights (April 2024). No enforcement actions or penalties have been recorded.
Compared to other Texas nursing homes, Holly Hall shows 83 percent fewer total citations (1 vs. state average 6), 50 percent fewer health citations, and 83 percent fewer life safety citations. Quality measures show strong performance in falls (zero major injury), urinary tract infections (zero), weight loss (zero), and depression screening (zero residents with symptoms). Weaker performance appears in pneumococcal vaccination rates (34.6 percent long-stay, 21.0 percent short-stay; 64-77 percent worse than state average) and functional decline scores (37 percent worse than state average).
Walk score of 56 reflects moderate walkability; UTHealth Houston Psychiatry is 0.86 miles away.
Families ask about recent Quality of Care and Resident Rights citations, corrective action status for all cited deficiencies, and improvement plans for pneumococcal vaccination rates.
