Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Status of memory-care certification

   The state memory-care certification expired in January 2020 — ask whether the facility has renewed it or is operating under a different authorization for those residents.

2. 2

   Staff training for memory-care residents

   With all 8 beds designated for memory care, ask what dementia-specific training staff have completed and how recently.

3. 3

   Coverage when the administrator is away

   At 8 beds with a sole-proprietor owner, ask who is responsible for the facility and resident decisions when Tanya Adams is not on site.

4. 4

   Availability and waitlist

   With only 8 licensed beds total, ask how many are currently occupied and whether there is a waitlist.

5. 5

   Services included under Type B licensure

   Texas Type B assisted living permits care for residents who may need nighttime assistance — ask exactly which services are included and what would trigger a required move to a higher level of care.
