The nursing home was fined more than $60,000 by federal regulators and cited for dozens of violations last year, according to records analyzed by KSAT.
The official U.S. government website for Medicare lists the “overall rating" for the Southeast Nursing & Rehabilitation Center at “much below average,” with only one out of five stars. The rating is based on “health inspections, staffing and quality measures” observed during its last three inspections.
