Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing across all shifts
With 8 licensed beds, ask how many staff are on-site overnight and on weekends, and whether any shifts rely on a single caregiver.
Services covered under Type B
Texas Type B homes are licensed for residents who may need nighttime assistance — ask exactly which personal-care tasks are included and what triggers a referral elsewhere.
What happens if care needs increase
Ask under what circumstances a resident would need to leave, and how the facility communicates that transition to families.
Ownership and day-to-day management
The facility is sole-proprietor operated — ask whether Kandra Askew is on-site daily and who covers decisions when she is unavailable.
Current occupancy and availability
With a licensed capacity of 8, ask how many beds are currently filled and how quickly openings have historically turned over.
