What to ask on a tour in Fort Worth

Marketing directors are good at their jobs. These are the questions that actually surface differences between communities:

  1. Can I see your current license and most recent state inspection report?
  2. If you market memory care, can I see the required Alzheimer's/dementia disclosure statement? Texas requires every facility marketing memory care to file one with HHSC under 26 TAC ยง553.264.
  3. What is the all-in monthly cost at my parent's current care level? Ask for the care-level assessment tool in writing and where your parent would score today.
  4. How often have rates increased in the last three years, and by how much?
  5. What is the overnight staffing ratio? Not the daytime ratio — overnight is where families get surprised.
  6. What is caregiver turnover here?
  7. Do you hold a STAR+PLUS HCBS provider agreement, and how many current residents actually use it? A community can hold an agreement and still have no real waiver capacity available.
  8. What happens if my parent's needs exceed what this license allows?

Go back unannounced at a different time of day before you decide.

Questions families ask

Is memory care a separate license in Texas, or something else?

Texas does not issue a separate 'memory care license.' Any facility that markets or holds itself out as providing dementia care must instead file an Alzheimer's/dementia Disclosure Statement with HHSC under 26 TAC Section 553.264, and make it available to families before admission.

How do I check a Fort Worth-area facility's inspection history myself?

HHSC's Long Term Care Regulatory division maintains survey and enforcement records for every licensed Texas assisted living facility. You can also call HHSC's Complaint and Incident Intake line at 1-800-458-9858, 24 hours a day, to ask about a specific facility's complaint or inspection history.

What's the difference between a Type A and Type B assisted living license in Fort Worth?

Type A facilities serve residents capable of following directions to evacuate on their own and who don't need routine overnight attendance. Type B facilities serve residents who need staff help to evacuate, can't follow emergency directions independently, or need nighttime staff attendance -- most memory care in the metro falls under Type B.
