Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Staffing on nights and weekends

   With 14 residents and a single owner-administrator, ask how many staff are on duty overnight and on weekends, and what happens when someone calls out sick.

2. 2

   What Type A licensing covers

   Texas Type A allows residents who can self-evacuate and don't need routine nighttime care — ask whether your parent's current and likely future needs fit within that category.

3. 3

   Owner involvement in daily care

   Geraldine Raphael holds both the license and the administrator role — ask how many hours she is on-site each week and who is in charge when she is away.

4. 4

   Handling medical needs on-site

   Ask which health services — wound care, medication management, physical therapy — are provided at the home versus referred out, and how those outside providers are coordinated.

5. 5

   Current occupancy and availability

   With only 14 licensed beds, ask how many are currently filled and what the typical wait looks like if a bed opens up.
