Nursing homes across Caldwell County, Texas, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Avir At Luling runs on 2.82 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 27% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 13% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 76.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing most of the hands-on care are constantly changing. The inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with $35,559 in fines across three penalties; the most recent inspection was November 2025. Corporate-owned and certified for 56 beds, the home's quality measure scores look good, but that's the part of the record least dependent on having enough consistent staff on hand.
Diversicare Of Luling runs 60 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing number is the one to watch: 2.96 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly a quarter less hands-on nursing time than the typical home, and weekends dip about 9% below what the building manages on weekdays. The state inspection record is where it looks stronger, 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a survey as recent as May 2025. So the picture isn't dangerous care so much as thin coverage: 4 out of 5 on inspections, but 1 out of 5 on staffing, which is the number that shapes daily life.
Chisolm Trail runs a 96-bed for-profit home in Lockhart, and the numbers point in two directions at once. Resident outcomes look good on the federal quality measures, but staffing sits at 2.72 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 16 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $37,541 fine; the most recent inspection was in August 2025. If you're weighing this one, ask how they cover weekends and what changed after that harm citation.
Avir At Magnolia runs on 2.86 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop further from an already thin weekday floor. That staffing gap sits behind 37 deficiencies on record, seven of them involving harm or jeopardy and three tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $50,906, a pattern worth asking the administrator about directly. Nearly six in ten staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national rate, and with the last inspection in August 2025, the record is current rather than dated. The quality measure score looks better than the rest, but quality numbers reflect resident assessments, not whether enough hands are on the floor.
Parkview runs about 2.87 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop another 19% under its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 17 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $64,967 and a two-star health inspection rating. Staff turnover sits at 47.5%, slightly above the national figure. The quality measure score of 4/5 is the one bright spot, but it reflects reported care measures rather than the staffing and safety problems regulators have actually cited here.
