What does a Type B license mean for residents of New Life Assisted Living?
Under a Type B license, New Life Assisted Living may house residents who need staff help to get out of the building in an emergency, who need attention during the night, or who cannot follow directions in an emergency, as long as they are not permanently bedfast.
Type B is the broader license, and it is the only kind Texas allows to carry an Alzheimer's certification. A resident whose needs outgrow the license has to move, so ask how the building handled the last resident who could no longer transfer alone. More on Type A and Type B licenses.

What should we confirm with New Life Assisted Living before signing?
Let the state data set the agenda. First, ask for the most recent HHSC inspection report, even though TULIP lists no citations.
- Ask whether a nurse is employed on staff or on call, and how often the nurse sees each resident.
- Ask how quickly a call at 3 a.m. is answered and how that is checked.
- Ask whether staff speak Spanish on every shift if your parent is more comfortable in Spanish.
- TULIP shows this building does not accept Medicaid; ask what happens if savings run out.
- Ask for the fee schedule in writing, including what triggers a higher level-of-care charge.
