What the data says
CMS rates staffing here at 2 stars. Each resident receives about 190 minutes of nursing care per day — roughly 51 minutes less than at a 4-star-staffing facility in Texas. Of that total, only about 9 minutes per day comes from a registered nurse, compared to 37 minutes at a 4-star-staffing Texas facility. Residents here also need more hands-on care than at a typical facility — less mobile or more medically complex on average — so those 190 minutes stretch thinner than the raw number suggests.
One CMS fine of $12,740 is on record. For context, about 30% of Texas nursing homes have no fines at all, and the state median for facilities that do have fines is $20,699 — so this fine falls below the state median for penalized facilities.
The facility is operating at roughly 70% of its 120 licensed beds, averaging about 84 residents per day. That figure sits meaningfully below the typical occupancy for Texas nursing homes at this bed size.

Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing on nights and weekends
With only about 9 minutes of registered nurse time per resident per day on average, ask how many RNs are on duty overnight and on weekends when the building is harder to staff.
Why occupancy is at 70%
The facility averages roughly 84 residents against 120 licensed beds — ask management what is driving the lower census and whether it affects staffing levels or service availability.
Complexity of residents' care needs
CMS data indicates residents here require more hands-on care than the Texas average — ask how care plans are developed and reviewed for higher-need residents given the 2-star staffing rating.
The 2023 CMS fine
One fine of $12,740 is on record — ask what deficiency triggered it and what operational changes followed.
Resident and Family Council activity
Both a Resident Council and a Family Council are listed; ask how often each meets and how concerns raised there are tracked and resolved.
Management company's role day to day
Day-to-day operations run through Loh Management LLC under the Avir Health Group banner — ask how decisions about staffing levels and care standards are made and by whom.
