15 are licensed Type B and 1 Type A. For a county of about 921,500 people, that is a very small assisted living supply; the Valley leans on family caregiving, adult day centers and in-home attendants instead, which the other roster pages cover.
Where does each column on this roster come from?
License number, type, capacity, Alzheimer's capacity and license dates come from HHSC's active-license directory; the latest inspection date, citations, enforcement and Medicaid participation come from each facility's public TULIP record.
3 of the 16 facilities carry at least one enforcement record in TULIP, and 0 report accepting Medicaid. Every facility links to its own page with the full record, the closest alternatives and the questions worth asking.
What is the difference between Type A and Type B on this list?
A Type A license is for residents who can evacuate without help and need no routine care at night; a Type B license allows residents who need staff help to evacuate, night-time attention or help with transfers, and only Type B can be certified for Alzheimer's care.
More detail: Type A or Type B assisted living.
