Questions to ask when you tour

1. 1

   Type A license scope

   Texas Type A licenses cover residents who can evacuate without staff help — ask whether your parent's current mobility and health fit within those requirements.

2. 2

   Management company's role

   Day-to-day operations are run by Ssmg Tyler LLC rather than the licensed owner — ask what that means for staffing decisions, complaint resolution, and who to contact with concerns.

3. 3

   How full the community is

   With 70 licensed beds, ask how many are currently occupied and what the typical wait time is if a bed isn't available now.

4. 4

   Services not covered by base rate

   Ask for a written list of what care and services are included in the monthly fee and which ones carry additional charges as needs increase.

5. 5

   Memory care pathway

   The facility holds no memory-care certification — ask what the process is if a resident develops dementia or significant cognitive decline during their stay.
