Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Staffing on a typical day

   With 13 licensed beds, ask how many caregivers are on duty during the day shift and overnight, and what happens when a staff member calls out sick.

2. 2

   Type A care boundaries

   Texas Type A licenses cover residents who can evacuate without staff help — ask whether that matches your parent's current and anticipated mobility.

3. 3

   Memory-care certification lapsed

   A memory-care certification expired March 2021 and was not renewed — ask whether the home currently accepts or plans to accept residents with dementia.

4. 4

   Medicaid and private-pay options

   All 13 beds are listed as private-pay only in state records — ask whether Medicaid is accepted and what happens if funds run out.

5. 5

   After-hours and emergency coverage

   Ask who is responsible for medical decisions and resident care overnight and on weekends, and how emergencies are handled in a 13-bed home.
