Size and setting
Located in Richardson, Texas, this facility operates 106 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 38 residents - an occupancy rate of about 36%. The facility is classified under for profit - corporation ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 36% occupancy, this facility is running well below its certified bed capacity, worth asking why directly.
Same-ownership peers

Its 5-star overall rating sits above the for profit - corporation-segment average of 2.8 stars, ahead of roughly 89% of same-ownership peers in the state.
