Questions to ask when you tour
Memory care cert renewal timeline
The state memory care certification expires July 2026 — ask whether renewal is already underway and what the process looks like for residents if certification lapses.
Role of the management company
Day-to-day operations are run by SH1 Southern Bay TX Mgmt LLC, separate from the licensee — ask how decisions are divided between the two entities and who staff report to.
Staffing ratios on each shift
With only 16 beds, ask exactly how many staff are on the floor overnight and on weekends, and whether that number changes with resident needs.
Admissions criteria and stage of dementia
Type B facilities have defined limits on resident independence — ask at what point a resident's care needs would exceed what this building is licensed to provide.
Private-pay only structure
The record shows zero Medicaid or Medicare beds — confirm payment options and what happens if a resident's private funds run out.
