Our read on Avir At Temple East

Avir At Temple East runs a 138-bed for-profit operation, and its most recent inspection in February 2026 came back clean on the things that matter most, 10 deficiencies on the current record, none of which rose to harm or jeopardy level. Staff turnover sits at 40.8%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national average, and that stability probably shows up in how consistently residents see the same faces. Where it slips is raw staffing volume: 3.46 nurse hours per resident day lands about 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run slightly leaner than weekdays. One abuse-related deficiency is on the books, worth asking about directly.
