Info Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.

Hours per resident per day — compared to Texas state averages

Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 25m per day ▼ 4% State avg: 26m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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 3m per day ▲ 11% State avg: 57m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 54m per day ▼ 6% State avg: 2h 1m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends.

Physical Therapist Info 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. 4m per day ■ Avg State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 35m per day ▲ 67% State avg: 21m per day · National avg: 29m per day

Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

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.
