This home is ranked 155th 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.
|
24m per day | ▼ 8% 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.
|
49m per day | ▼ 14% 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.

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 5 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 June 27, 2025, identified deficiencies related to medication recordkeeping, including missing documentation for controlled drugs and medication administration. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues involving medication management, infection control, environmental cleanliness, and resident supervision, with some complaint investigations substantiating concerns such as inadequate supervision leading to resident elopement and failure to coordinate PASRR assessments. Inspectors cited recurring problems with medication labeling and storage, infection prevention, and environmental maintenance, along with lapses in supervision and care practices. Several complaint investigations found immediate jeopardy conditions that were corrected before state entrance, and no fines or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s deficiencies have persisted over time with some corrective actions implemented, but similar issues continue to appear in recent inspections.
