Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Current occupancy and waitlist

   With only 7 licensed beds, ask how many are currently occupied and whether there is a waitlist or expected vacancy.

2. 2

   Services included under Type B

   Texas Type B assisted living covers residents who need nighttime assistance — ask exactly which services are provided and what requires an additional fee or outside provider.

3. 3

   Staffing overnight and on weekends

   A 7-bed home may rely on a very small team; ask how many staff are on site during overnight hours and who covers when the primary caregiver is unavailable.

4. 4

   Handling higher care needs over time

   Ask at what point a resident's needs would exceed what this home is licensed to provide, and what the discharge or transfer process looks like.

5. 5

   Ownership continuity since 2008

   The license dates to December 2008 under Mema Assisted Living Home LLC — ask whether ownership and on-site management have remained consistent throughout that period.
