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. About 32% of Texas nursing homes share this staffing rating. Of those 190 minutes, only 27 are with a registered nurse; a 4-star facility in Texas would deliver about 37 RN minutes per day.
The quality-of-care outcomes rating is 1 star — the lowest tier on CMS's scale, covering measures like pressure wounds, falls, and pain management for long-stay residents. No short-stay quality rating is available.
One administrator has turned over in the past year. The facility is managed by 1819 Memorial Drive Opco LLC under the Avir Health Group chain; families should ask who is currently in the administrator role and how long that person has been on-site.
The facility is operating at roughly 52% of its 89 licensed beds, with about 46 residents on a given day. That level of occupancy, paired with 2-star staffing and 1-star outcomes, may reflect difficulty attracting and retaining both residents and staff in a small, rural market.

Questions to ask when you tour
Current administrator tenure
An administrator left within the past year — ask who currently holds that role and how long they have been in place.
Registered nurse coverage overnight
Reported RN hours average about 27 minutes per resident per day; ask how many hours a registered nurse is physically on-site each day, including nights and weekends.
Quality measure improvement plans
CMS rates long-stay quality outcomes at 1 star; ask which specific measures are below target and what the facility is doing to address them.
Weekend staffing levels
Reported weekend nursing hours run lower than weekday figures; ask how many nurses and aides are scheduled on a typical Saturday or Sunday.
Reasons for low bed occupancy
The facility is running at about 52% capacity; ask whether that reflects a waitlist for specific payer types, staffing limitations, or another operational factor.
Management company role on-site
Day-to-day operations are run by 1819 Memorial Drive Opco LLC under Avir Health Group; ask how often regional management visits and who families should contact with concerns.
