Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Staffing on nights and weekends

   With 7 residents and a sole-proprietor administrator, ask who provides direct care when Jacqueline Darnell is not on site.

2. 2

   What Type A licensing covers

   Texas Type A licenses allow residents who can evacuate independently — ask whether your parent's current mobility and care needs fit that classification.

3. 3

   Handling increased care needs

   Ask what the process is if a resident's needs change — whether care can be added in place or whether a transfer to a higher level of care would be required.

4. 4

   Current occupancy and availability

   With only 7 licensed beds, ask how many are currently occupied and what the typical wait looks like if a bed opens.

5. 5

   Backup coverage and emergencies

   Ask who is responsible for residents and on-call decisions if the administrator is unavailable due to illness or travel.
