What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 1 star — the bottom tier among Texas nursing homes, shared by about 38% of facilities statewide. Each resident receives roughly 194 minutes of nursing care per day, about 47 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Residents here also need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — they are sicker or less mobile on average — so those 194 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests. RN coverage specifically runs about 21 minutes per resident per day, well below the 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing Texas facility.
CMS has substantiated findings of resident abuse or neglect at this facility within the past 36 months. This is the most serious safety flag CMS issues on its Care Compare ratings.
Roughly 6 in 10 nursing staff left in the past year — a turnover rate of 63.2%, above Texas's 75th percentile of 60%. At that pace, a long-stay resident will likely go through two or three primary caregivers over the course of a year.
Two CMS fines total $34,394 since the facility's most recent inspection cycle. Texas's median fine total is $20,699, and about 30% of Texas nursing homes have received no fines at all.
The facility is running at roughly 59% of its 122 licensed beds, with an average of 71.9 residents per day. Paired with the safety flags, staffing rating, and fines, the low occupancy fits a pattern of distress rather than simply an early fill-up.

Questions to ask when you tour
Abuse finding and current protocols
CMS recorded a substantiated abuse or neglect finding here within the past 36 months — ask what specifically happened and what policy changes followed.
Staffing levels on nights and weekends
Weekend nursing hours drop to 2.975 hours per resident per day; ask how many nurses and aides are on duty overnight and on weekends compared to weekday day shifts.
Nursing staff retention
63% of nursing staff left in the past year — ask how long the current aides assigned to your parent's unit have been working here.
Who operates day-to-day care
The licensee is Fannin County Hospital Authority but the management company is 521 W 7th St Opco LLC and the chain is Avir Health Group — ask which entity makes staffing and care decisions.
Reason for low occupancy
Only about 59% of licensed beds are filled; ask whether that reflects recent discharges, a hold on new admissions, or another factor affecting operations.
Resident Council access
The facility has a Resident Council but no Family Council — ask how families currently raise concerns and how often the Resident Council meets.
