Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Staffing on nights and weekends

   With 8 licensed beds and a single owner-administrator, ask how many staff are on duty overnight and on weekends, and what happens when someone calls in sick.

2. 2

   Scope of Type A care

   Texas Type A licenses cover residents who can evacuate without staff help — ask whether your parent's current and anticipated care needs fall within that definition.

3. 3

   What happens if needs increase

   Ask what the process is if a resident's needs grow beyond what a Type A license permits, and how transitions are handled.

4. 4

   Owner involvement day to day

   Brenda Burford is listed as both licensee and administrator — ask how often she is on-site and who is in charge during her absence.

5. 5

   Availability and current occupancy

   With only 8 licensed beds, ask how many are currently occupied and whether there is a waitlist or typical vacancy timeline.
