Does Our Lady Residential Assisted Living offer memory care?
Not as certified memory care: HHSC's directory shows no Alzheimer's certified capacity at Our Lady Residential Assisted Living, so it may not advertise specialized Alzheimer's care, although it can still serve residents with mild memory loss.
Many residents with early dementia do well in an uncertified building with a watchful staff. The closest certified Alzheimer's units are The Gardens at Brook Ridge in Pharr (30 certified places, 2.4 mi); Assisted Living Partnership I in Edinburg (16 certified places, 3.9 mi); Avalon Memory Care - Edinburg in Edinburg (25 certified places, 5.2 mi).
Has Our Lady Residential Assisted Living paid state penalties?
No penalty record appears: TULIP lists no administrative penalties or other enforcement actions for Our Lady Residential Assisted Living.
An empty enforcement record only means no penalty was imposed. Ordinary citations are fixed through plans of correction and never become penalties, so the inspection report is still worth reading.
