Written from CMS Care Compare and state licensing records · last updated April 19, 2026
What the data says
CMS rates Sun Valley 2 stars on staffing, the second-lowest tier. Each resident receives about 208 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 33 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. About 32% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating.
Nursing staff turnover is exceptionally low: roughly 3 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year, below the state's 25th-percentile cutoff — better than about three-quarters of nursing homes in Texas. That level of continuity means long-stay residents are likely seeing familiar faces over time.
One administrator has turned over in the past year, which places this facility in an elevated tier for administrative change. Day-to-day care is delivered by nursing staff, not administrators, but leadership transitions can affect how consistently policies and care plans are carried out.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
CMS rates staffing here 2 stars; ask how many nurses and aides are on the floor on a typical overnight shift or weekend day.
RN presence during the day
Reported RN hours average about 15 minutes per resident per day — ask how many hours a registered nurse is physically on-site and available.
Recent administrator transition
One administrator left in the past year; ask who is currently in that role, how long they have been here, and whether they plan to stay long-term.
Av Rehab's role in daily operations
The facility is government-owned but managed by Av Rehab, LLC — ask which entity sets staffing levels, care policies, and the day-to-day budget.
Bed availability and wait time
With 92 of 124 beds occupied, ask whether the unit or room type you need is currently open or has a waitlist.
