Our read on Caraday Of Lampasas

Caraday Of Lampasas runs on 2.87 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 6% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The health inspection record looks solid, but staffing sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and 13 deficiencies include three at the harm level and one tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $16,426 are on file, with the last inspection dated February 2026. It's a hospital-district home with 76 beds, and the gap between its inspection results and its day-to-day staffing is the tension worth weighing.
