Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing at 10 residents
With only 10 licensed beds, ask how many staff are on duty during a typical day shift and overnight, and what happens when a caregiver calls out sick.
Type B care scope
Texas Type B assisted living permits residents who need nighttime assistance — ask which specific services are provided and which needs would require a transfer to a higher level of care.
Backup coverage and emergencies
At this size, ask whether there is always a second person on-site and what the protocol is if the primary caregiver has an emergency.
Medicaid and private pay options
The licensed record shows zero Medicaid beds — ask how the facility is funded and what happens if a resident's private funds run out.
Waitlist and current occupancy
With only 10 beds total, ask how many are currently occupied and whether there is a waitlist or typical vacancy timeline.
