LLANO NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Llano Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about its quality of care. It ranks #763 out of 1168 facilities in Texas, placing it in the bottom half of all nursing homes in the state, and it is #2 out of 2 in Llano County, meaning only one local option is worse. While the facility is showing improvement, reducing its issues from 10 in 2024 to 3 in 2025, the staffing situation is alarming with an 86% turnover rate, far exceeding the state average of 50%. Additionally, the home faced fines totaling $40,170, which is concerning and indicates ongoing compliance problems. Specific incidents of care failures include a lack of protective measures for residents involved in altercations and medication errors that resulted in a resident being unresponsive and requiring hospitalization. Despite having better RN coverage than 85% of Texas facilities, the overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars across various categories suggests that families should carefully consider these factors when evaluating this nursing home for their loved ones.

A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Llano Staffed?
CMS rates LLANO NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 86%, which is 39 percentage points above the Texas average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs. RN turnover specifically is 100%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.
What Have Inspectors Found at Llano?
State health inspectors documented 28 deficiencies at LLANO NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER during 2022 to 2025. These included: 2 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 3 that caused actual resident harm, and 23 with potential for harm. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates Llano?
LLANO NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by SLP OPERATIONS, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 96 certified beds and approximately 25 residents (about 26% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in LLANO, Texas.
How Does Llano Compare to Other Texas Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Texas, LLANO NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER's overall rating (2 stars) is below the state average of 2.8, staff turnover (86%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (2 stars) is below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Llano?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "What safeguards and monitoring systems are in place to protect residents from abuse or neglect?" "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the substantiated abuse finding on record, the facility's high staff turnover rate, and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Llano Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, LLANO NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER has documented safety concerns. The facility has 1 substantiated abuse finding (meaning confirmed case of resident harm by staff or other residents). Inspectors have issued 2 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Texas. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at Llano Stick Around?
Staff turnover at LLANO NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER is high. At 86%, the facility is 39 percentage points above the Texas average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 100%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Llano Ever Fined?
LLANO NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER has been fined $40,170 across 1 penalty action. The Texas average is $33,481. While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Llano on Any Federal Watch List?
LLANO NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
