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.

7.5%
of long-stay residents
Texas median 8.3%
National median 13.4%

This is at or below the Texas median, which is a reassuring sign for how the home manages dementia care.

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.

Falls with major injury
6%
of long-stay residents
Texas median 3% · National median 2.8%
Pressure ulcers (bedsores)
2.1%
of long-stay residents
Texas median 3.3% · National median 4.2%

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.
