Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing on evenings and weekends
With only 6 licensed beds, ask how many staff are on-site at night and on weekends, and what the backup plan is if a caregiver calls out.
What Type A means for your parent
Texas Type A licenses cover residents who can evacuate independently — ask whether your parent's current or anticipated needs fit within that classification.
How care needs are handled as they increase
Small homes often cannot accommodate significant declines in mobility or cognition; ask what the process is if a resident's needs exceed what the license permits.
Barbara Cole's direct role day to day
The licensee and administrator are the same person — ask how many hours she is on-site and who is responsible when she is away.
