Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing ratios for memory care
With all 16 beds devoted to memory care, ask how many staff are on the floor during day, evening, and overnight shifts.
What Type B designation means here
Texas Type B licenses allow residents who need staff assistance to evacuate — ask what level of physical or cognitive need the facility is currently equipped to support.
Memory care programming offered
The state certification confirms the unit meets Texas memory-care standards; ask what structured daily activities or therapeutic programming is actually in place for residents.
Admission and discharge criteria
At 16 beds, capacity is limited — ask what conditions or care needs would prompt a transfer out and how families are notified.
Ownership and on-site management
The licensee is Darsea I, LLC with no listed management company — ask whether John Darby is on-site daily and who covers administrative decisions in his absence.
