Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing on a 9-bed unit
With only 9 licensed beds, ask how many staff are on duty during day and overnight shifts and what happens when a caregiver calls out sick.
Type B care scope
Texas Type B homes serve residents who need nighttime assistance — ask which specific services staff provide and where the home draws the line on care needs it cannot meet.
Nonprofit structure and oversight
The licensee is a nonprofit organization — ask who sits on the governing board and how residents or families raise concerns through that structure.
Current occupancy and availability
With a 9-bed license, a single departure or admission changes the dynamic significantly — ask how many beds are currently filled and what the admission process looks like.
Transition plan if needs increase
Small Type B homes have defined care limits — ask at what point the home would determine a resident needs a higher level of care and how that transition is handled.
