Quality measures
CMS marks this home with its abuse icon: a citation for abuse or neglect at the harm level in the last year, or at any level in each of the last two years.
How it compares in Bell County
2.5 health deficiencies per survey, against a county median of 2.5. Lower is better.
Fewer deficiencies per survey than 40 out of 100 nursing homes in Bell County. Per survey, not raw count, because a home surveyed ten times will always have more findings on paper than one surveyed twice.
Deficiencies by level of harm
| Immediate jeopardy | 5 | |
| Actual harm | 0 | |

| No harm | 1 |
CMS grades every deficiency by scope and severity, A to L. A to C is no harm, D to F potential for harm, G to I actual harm, J to L immediate jeopardy. Fire safety is surveyed separately: 1 fire safety deficiency on record.
