These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 52% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 15 findings, above the TX average of 9.1. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Families should exercise extreme caution due to multiple reports of severe medical neglect, including unmanaged bedsores and preventable fractures. While some long-term residents have experienced compassionate care from the nursing and rehab teams, there are recurring, critical allegations regarding patient safety and staff accountability.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions.
