Questions to ask when you tour
Staffing ratios on the memory care unit
Ask how many residents each caregiver is responsible for on the 20-bed memory care unit, separately from the general assisted living floors.
What Type B classification covers
Texas Type B licenses allow residents who need nighttime help evacuating — ask exactly which care needs the facility can and cannot accommodate as those needs increase.
ESC IV, LP as license holder
The operating license is held by ESC IV, LP, not under the Brookdale brand name — ask who is ultimately responsible for operations and how decisions escalate.
Memory care admission criteria
With 20 certified memory care beds, ask what diagnosis or functional level is required for placement there and how transitions from assisted living to memory care are handled.
Private-pay pricing and what it includes
All 101 licensed beds are private-pay; ask for an itemized list of what the base monthly rate covers and what triggers additional charges.
