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 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.
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.
