Questions to ask when you tour
Daily schedule and activities
Ask what a typical day looks like for participants, including how structured programming is divided across the 84-person licensed capacity.
Staffing ratios on busy days
With a licensed capacity of 84, ask how many staff are present on a full day and whether that ratio changes when attendance is high.
Transportation availability
Ask whether the program arranges pickup and drop-off, and what the coverage area looks like for Houston-area addresses.
Medicaid and private-pay options
The state record shows no Medicaid-designated capacity; ask directly which funding sources the program accepts and what private-pay costs run per day.
Medical oversight on site
Ask what licensed clinical staff — nurses or therapists — are present during program hours and how medical needs or emergencies are handled.
