CMS Star Ratings

Based on the last three years of on-site inspections and complaint investigations — the rating CMS weights most heavily.

Songbird Lodge holds a 2-star overall rating, in the bottom two tiers CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 99% is well above the Texas average of 55%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. Federal regulators have fined this facility $10,210 in the last three years. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
