Big Spring Center for Skilled Care: Care Violations - TX
The facility at 3701 Wasson Road received at least one deficiency citation during the annual survey. CMS rated the violation at the lower end of its harm scale, describing the level of harm as minimal or potential for actual harm, with a small number of residents affected. That combination, minimal harm affecting few residents, places the citation in a category that draws less regulatory urgency than the immediate jeopardy findings that trigger emergency enforcement. It does not mean nothing happened.
The distinction matters because CMS uses a grid system to classify every deficiency it finds. Harm level runs along one axis. Scope, meaning how many residents were affected, runs along the other. A citation rated minimal harm affecting few residents sits in the lower left corner of that grid. Facilities can and do receive such citations for failures that, had they continued or gone unnoticed longer, would have reached the higher categories. The inspection record does not say which direction this one was heading.
Big Spring Center for Skilled Care is a skilled nursing facility operating under CMS provider number 676380. The survey was completed on March 31, 2025. The printed report carries a date of August 8, 2026, the date it was processed and made available through the agency's records system. That gap, more than a year between inspection and public release, is not unusual in CMS reporting timelines, but it means the conditions documented on Wasson Road in late March of last year became part of the public record only recently.
The summary statement of deficiencies, which is the section of the CMS-2567 form that describes what inspectors actually found, is not reproduced in full in the available inspection narrative. The tag prefix identifying the specific regulatory citation is listed but the accompanying narrative text is absent from what was provided. That tag number would identify which federal requirement the facility was found to have violated, whether it relates to resident care, staffing, infection control, medication management, administration, or another domain. Without it, the specific nature of the deficiency cannot be reported.
What the record does confirm is this: inspectors were on site, they found something, they wrote it up, and the facility was required to submit a plan of correction. Anyone seeking the full text of that plan, or the complete deficiency narrative, can contact Big Spring Center for Skilled Care directly at its Wasson Road address, or reach out to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which serves as the state survey agency responsible for conducting these inspections on behalf of CMS.
Nursing homes in Texas are inspected on an unannounced basis, typically once every twelve to fifteen months for standard surveys, with additional complaint-driven inspections conducted as needed. The March 2025 survey at Big Spring Center appears to have been a standard health inspection. Whether any complaints preceded it or were investigated concurrently is not reflected in the available summary.
The facility serves residents requiring skilled nursing care, a population that by definition includes people recovering from surgery, managing chronic illness, or living with conditions that require daily clinical oversight. When CMS finds deficiencies at facilities serving this population, even those rated at the minimal harm level, the findings represent a gap between what the facility was required to provide and what inspectors documented on the day they walked through.
For the residents on the receiving end of whatever the inspector wrote down in tag 676380, the regulatory category assigned afterward is a secondary concern. The gap was real. It was documented. And the full account of what happened inside those walls in late March 2025 remains, for now, in a report that the public summary does not fully reproduce.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
Corrections: We strive for accuracy in everything we publish. If you believe any fact in this article is incorrect, please contact us with details, and we will review and correct it promptly.
