Penalties

Texas HHSC lists no administrative penalty for this community. HHSC publishes enforcement actions facility by facility in its TULIP licensing record, and we read the record of every licensed assisted living facility in the state, this one included.

Staffing

Staffing hours are published for nursing homes and for no other kind of provider. Federal law requires Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes to file payroll-based nurse hours with CMS every quarter, and no agency collects the same return from assisted living communities.

Ownership
