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 39% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 13 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 considering Vista Hills Health Care Center will find a facility with highly praised rehabilitation and nursing staff, with many reviewers highlighting successful recovery outcomes. However, there are serious, recurring allegations regarding patient safety, neglect, and inadequate response times to call buttons that should be investigated thoroughly.

The owner uses highly repetitive, templated responses for almost all negative reviews, regardless of the specific severity of the complaint. While they attempt to personalize by using the reviewer's name, the core message remains a copy-paste script.

Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
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. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
