Questions to ask when you tour
Memory care unit admission criteria
Ask what cognitive or functional changes prompt a move into the 25-bed memory care unit, and whether residents can transfer back to assisted living if their condition stabilizes.
Type B care scope
Texas Type B licenses cover residents who need nighttime assistance or are unable to evacuate without help — ask which specific services are and aren't included in the base rate.
Nonprofit funding and fee structure
Buckner Retirement Services is a nonprofit; ask whether that status affects pricing, financial-assistance availability, or how surpluses are reinvested into the community.
Administrator tenure and continuity
Ask how long David Ummel has served as administrator and what the plan is for leadership continuity if that changes.
Staffing levels on evenings and weekends
With 61 licensed beds including 25 memory care, ask the staff-to-resident ratio during overnight and weekend shifts specifically.
Waitlist status for memory care
Ask whether the 25 memory care beds are currently at capacity and, if so, how the waitlist is managed and what the typical wait time has been.
