Latest inspection

Date November 24, 2025
Complaint Investigation

26 deficiencies

Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.

Texas average: 32 deficiencies

Inspection Report Summary for Prairie Estates

The most recent inspection on November 24, 2025, identified deficiencies related to the facility’s failure to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan addressing dental and oral health needs, as well as failure to provide routine and emergency dental care. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of care plan deficiencies, medication management issues, infection control lapses, and concerns about resident rights and dignity, including a substantiated complaint involving improper consent and unsanitary wheelchairs. Complaint investigations substantiated failures in care planning, medication administration, and basic life support, with one immediate jeopardy finding that was later removed after corrective actions; fines or license actions were not listed in the available reports. Most deficiencies involved resident care planning, dental and medical care, and documentation, with some isolated issues in food safety and equipment sanitation. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with care planning and clinical services, with some corrective measures taken but recurring issues noted over time.
