B-
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.

- Texas median (quoted rates): $185/day semi-private · $250/day private (national: $315 · $355)
