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.
This is below the national median but above the Texas median, roughly middle of the pack for the state.

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.
The serious-fall rate here is at least double the Texas median. Ask the staff directly about their fall-prevention program: how they assess risk, how often they check on residents, and whether staffing at night is enough to respond quickly.
