CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This TableAL (Assisted Living):
Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing.
NH (Nursing Home):
24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs.
SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility):
Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness.
MC (Memory Care):
Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia.
RC (Respite Care):
Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break.
IL (Independent Living):
Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care.
HC (Home Care):
Professional care delivered in the person's own home, from companionship to skilled nursing.
HOS (Hospice Care):
Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment.
PC (Palliative Care):
Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment.
CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community):
A campus with multiple care levels so residents can age in place without moving.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Texas average is: 71.6% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Prairie Estates provides nursing home, hospice care, palliative care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Frisco, TX. Nursing home care supports residents who need ongoing assistance and nursing oversight in a residential setting, while skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Prairie Estates may be a good fit for someone who needs ongoing nursing support, end-of-life comfort care, or a short respite stay.
Hospice care focuses on comfort and symptom management for someone nearing the end of life. Palliative care addresses symptoms and stress during serious illness, while respite care provides a short-term stay for a resident while a usual caregiver travels, recovers, or takes a break. There are 180 beds here, accommodating more residents and staff and usually supporting more programming than a smaller community.
Private and semi-private rooms offer either an individual room or a shared room. Total nurse staffing is 3h 33m per resident/day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted: Medicaid can help families whose savings may not cover a long stay, Medicare covers short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence, and private pay uses personal funds. James S S Heath serves as administrator, and Prairie Estates is in the Meadow Creek neighborhood.
Seventy years is a long time for any nursing home to keep its doors open, and Holly Hall has managed it from the same address in Houston’s Astrodome Area: 2000 Holly Hall Street. Dana Short administers the place now. It’s nonprofit, 62 beds, laid out as a single-story cottage-style building with one- and two-bedroom units, currently running at 76% occupancy with 47 of those beds filled.
The neighborhood itself sits at a Walk Score of 56, moderately walkable, enough for some errands on foot without eliminating the need for a car entirely.
Here’s the number that actually tells you something about care quality: nearly 4 hours and 45 minutes of total nursing care per resident, per day, split across RNs, LPNs, and nurse aides. That’s a meaningful daily commitment, and it lines up with what Holly Hall is actually built for.
The average stay runs just 26 days, which points toward short-term, rehabilitation-focused care rather than long-term residency. Medicare covers 38% of admissions, mostly for rehab. Private pay accounts for 61%, and Medicaid rounds out the picture.
Regulatory attention here has centered on emergency preparedness and food service, the kind of routine categories inspectors look at across nursing homes broadly, not anything specific to this address.
What seventy years and a 4-hour-45-minute daily staffing commitment add up to is a nursing home built around short-stay, rehabilitation-focused care, backed by real nursing hours and broad payment access, in a long-standing Houston institution that’s outlasted most of its neighbors.

The Pavilion at Creekwood operates nursing home care and skilled nursing in Mansfield, TX, along with memory care, hospice care, and respite care. There’s a licensed healthcare worker on every shift, overnight included, which matters for residents whose medical needs don’t keep to a daytime agenda.
The memory care department is protected and monitored for someone whose dementia brings a chance of wandering. Hospice care is for the final stage of life. Respite is the short-term option. When the individual who usually looks after someone at home leaves or needs time to heal, a brief stay fills the interval.
That combination fits a family facing dementia, someone who requires care day and night, or a household that needs coverage for a period. Across 126 beds, nursing personnel functions out to three hours and six minutes for each resident daily.
Medicare usually arrives first after a hospital visit, since it pays for a restricted skilled stay rather than extended residency. If the stay extends and funds run low, Medicaid is the typical next step. Relatives can also pay privately.
The Walk Score is 34, car-dependent, so residents generally require transportation for errands. Ryan K. Leblanc is the administrator.
