Questions to ask when you tour
Memory care unit admission criteria
With 28 of 68 licensed beds designated for memory care, ask what cognitive or behavioral assessments determine placement in that unit versus the general assisted-living program.
Type B care scope
Texas Type B licenses permit care for residents who need staff assistance to evacuate — ask specifically which services are provided and whether care needs beyond that threshold require transfer.
Staffing ratios on each unit
Ask how many staff are on the memory-care unit and the general floor during daytime and overnight hours, and whether those numbers change on weekends.
Nonprofit mission and fee structure
Buckner Senior Living is a nonprofit licensee — ask how that status affects pricing, any financial assistance programs, and what happens if a resident's funds are exhausted.
License history since 2019
The initial license dates to December 2019 — ask about any prior state inspection findings, corrective actions, or changes in services since the facility opened.
