graded on 75% of our rubric
Why you can trust this grade. HearthGrades is independent and free to use. Every grade is computed from public CMS and state records on a fixed, published rubric — safety inspections, staffing, clinical outcomes, enforcement and financial stability. This provider was graded on 75% of that rubric. No facility can pay to change its grade or where it appears, and we take no money from the providers we grade. See the full methodology.

The quarterly column shows the four most recent quarters (Q1→Q4); benchmarks are the national percentile and the TX state median.
