Federal inspection record
Immediate-jeopardy citations (CMS scope/severity J–L) are the most serious category federal inspectors issue — meaning a deficiency placed residents in immediate risk of serious harm. Ask the facility for the corrective-action plan filed with CMS, and consider contacting your state long-term care ombudsman for context.

What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 179 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 62 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas, which sits at 241 minutes. Registered nurses account for only 22 of those minutes, against a Texas 4-star threshold of 37. Residents here also tend to need more hands-on help than at a typical facility — less mobile or more dependent on average — so those 179 minutes stretch thinner than the number alone suggests.
The facility's quality measures rate 5 stars overall, with a 5-star long-stay score and a 4-star short-stay score. That means measurable outcomes — things like pressure wounds, falls, and pain management — compare favorably to peers, even as staffing hours run below them.
Avir At River Ridge has received 2 CMS fines totaling $22,932. The Texas median for facilities that receive any fines at all is about $20,699, and about 30% of Texas nursing homes have zero fines on record.
The facility is operating at roughly 65% of its 120 licensed beds, with about 78 residents on an average day. Other signals in this record — below-average staffing hours and a 2-star health inspection rating — make that vacancy level worth asking about directly.

Questions to ask when you tour
Why occupancy sits at 65%
With roughly 78 residents in a 120-bed facility, ask management what's driving the vacancy and whether it reflects reduced admissions, recent discharges, or a staffing-imposed cap.
Staffing hours on weekends
CMS records 2.59 total nursing hours per resident on weekends versus 2.98 on weekdays — ask how the facility maintains care routines when weekend staffing is lower.
How outcomes stay high with fewer staff
Quality measures rate 5 stars while staffing rates 2 stars — ask specifically what care protocols or oversight practices the team attributes that gap to.
Details on the two CMS fines
Two fines totaling $22,932 appear on record; ask what deficiencies triggered them and what corrective steps have been completed.
Resident Council activity
A Resident Council meets here but no Family Council exists — ask how family members can raise concerns between visits and what the Resident Council's recent agenda has covered.
Management company's role day to day
The licensed owner is a hospital district, but day-to-day management is under a separate LLC — ask which entity sets staffing levels, care policies, and responds to complaints.
