Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Current bed availability

   With only 12 licensed beds, ask how many are currently occupied and what the typical wait time is for an opening.

2. 2

   Type A care limits

   Texas Type A licensing means residents must be able to evacuate independently — ask how the facility handles residents whose mobility or cognition declines over time.

3. 3

   Staffing ratios and overnight coverage

   At 12 beds, ask exactly how many staff are on duty during the day and overnight, and whether a staff member sleeps on-site.

4. 4

   Services included versus billed separately

   Ask for a written list of what is covered in the base rate and what triggers additional charges, such as medication management or personal care assistance.

5. 5

   Administrator continuity

   Shirley Dabbs is listed as administrator — ask how long she has been in that role and who covers operations when she is absent.
