Showing the 10 most recent and serious of 19 findings. See the full inspection history on Medicare.gov.

Antipsychotic drug use

The share of long-stay residents given antipsychotic medication. These drugs are sometimes used to sedate residents with dementia, a practice CMS and resident advocates watch closely. Lower is better.

13.7%
of long-stay residents
Texas median 8.3%
National median 13.4%

This is above the national median. Ask how the home decides to start these medications and how often it reviews them.

Preventable harm

Two injuries that good staffing and attentive care are meant to prevent: serious falls and pressure ulcers (bedsores). These are the outcomes families fear most, and they rarely appear on referral sites. Lower is better on both.
