This home is ranked 121st 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.
|
18m per day | ▼ 31% 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.
|
1h 1m per day | ▲ 7% 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.
|
1h 36m per day | ▼ 21% State avg: 2h 1m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
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.
|
2h 28m per day | ▼ 17% State avg: 2h 59m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
|
1m per day | ▼ 75% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
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.

15m per day | ▼ 29% State avg: 21m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

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 4 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 October 6, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies related to resident privacy, wound care including neglect leading to amputations, pressure ulcer treatment, nurse staffing postings, and infection prevention practices. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues involving medication management, care planning, infection control, environmental safety, and documentation accuracy. Complaint investigations substantiated failures in timely reporting of alleged abuse, medication administration, infection control, and respect for resident rights, though fines or license actions were not listed in the available reports. The facility has not faced enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions according to the records provided. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with clinical care and regulatory compliance without a clear trend of improvement or worsening.
