Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Staffing across all 8 beds

   With a licensed capacity of 8, ask how many staff are on duty during a typical day shift and overnight, and what happens when someone calls out sick.

2. 2

   Type A care boundaries

   Texas Type A licenses cover residents who can evacuate independently — ask what happens if a resident's needs increase beyond what a Type A license permits.

3. 3

   Administrator availability on site

   Richard Steinolfson is listed as both licensee and administrator; ask how often he is physically present and who is in charge when he is not.

4. 4

   How care needs are reassessed

   Ask how frequently the home evaluates whether a resident's current level of assistance still matches what the facility is licensed and staffed to provide.

5. 5

   Move-out triggers and process

   At a home this size, one resident requiring more intensive care can strain the whole house — ask specifically what conditions would require a resident to transfer elsewhere.
