Questions to ask when you tour

  1. Current bed availability

    With only 14 licensed beds total, ask how many are currently occupied and what the typical wait time looks like when a bed opens.

  2. Private pay and cost structure

    The facility accepts no Medicaid or Medicare; ask for a full fee schedule and what happens if a resident's funds are exhausted.

  3. Type A care scope and limits

    Type A assisted living in Texas is designed for residents who can evacuate without staff help; ask whether your parent's current or anticipated care needs fit within that classification.

  4. Nonprofit mission and population served

    The Brookwood Community, Inc. operates other programs in Brookshire; ask how Derek Home fits within that broader organization and who its typical residents are.

  5. Staffing levels and overnight coverage

    At 14 beds, staffing ratios can vary significantly; ask how many staff are on site during day, evening, and overnight shifts.
