Questions to ask when you tour
Current memory care availability
With only 8 licensed beds and all designated for memory care, ask how many are currently occupied and what the typical wait looks like.
Staff-to-resident ratio on each shift
At 8 residents, ask exactly how many staff are on the floor during the day, evening, and overnight shifts, and whether that changes on weekends.
Type B license scope
Texas Type B licenses allow for residents who need nighttime attendance or help evacuating — ask which specific services are included and whether any care needs would require a transfer.
Staff training for memory care
Ask what specific dementia-care training staff have completed and how often that training is updated, since the memory care certification runs through 2028.
What happens if care needs increase
Small homes have limited on-site clinical capacity — ask at what point the facility would require a resident to move to a higher level of care.
