Questions to ask when you tour
Memory care unit availability
The facility has 36 state-certified memory-care beds — ask how many are currently occupied and what the typical wait time is for placement.
Type B services provided
Texas Type B designation covers residents who need staff available overnight and may require evacuation assistance — ask which specific personal-care services are included in the base rate.
Watermark management responsibilities
Day-to-day operations are run by Watermark Retirement Communities, LLC, separate from the licensed owner SHP VI Austin LLC — ask how decisions about staffing and care standards are divided between the two entities.
Medicaid acceptance policy
The license lists zero Medicaid beds — ask whether the facility accepts Medicaid at any point and what happens if a resident's private funds are exhausted.
Staff coverage at night
Type B assisted living requires staff on-site overnight — ask the staff-to-resident ratio on evening and overnight shifts, particularly on the memory-care unit.
