Questions worth asking first

What kind of senior living exists in Tanglewood and the Galleria?

Mostly larger licensed communities, several of them well known Houston names, plus a small number of licensed small homes of 16 beds or fewer tucked into the residential streets. This page counts exactly what the state's file shows for zip codes 77056 and 77057. If you did not know the small homes existed, that is normal: they rarely advertise, and most families only find them through a placement service or word of mouth.

How fast can a placement happen after a hospital discharge?

Faster than most families expect. If your parent is being discharged this week, the sequence is: tell us the care needs, budget and timeline once, get a shortlist of licensed communities that actually fit, tour the real contenders, and apply to the ones you choose. Your shortlist is ready the same hour you tell us what you need, so the tours you schedule are with communities that already fit, instead of starting from a blank search. The thing that slows placements down is not paperwork, it is starting from a blank Google search.

What is the difference between a Type A and a Type B assisted living licence in Texas?

It comes down to whether your parent could get themselves out of the building in an emergency. A Type A home serves residents who can evacuate on their own. A Type B home is licensed to serve residents who cannot, including someone who needs staff help to get up, who uses a wheelchair and cannot self-transfer, or who needs overnight attendance. If your parent needs help getting out of bed, you are looking for a Type B home. Ask to see the licence, and check the type on it.

What does assisted living cost in the Galleria area?

Houston-area small licensed care homes commonly run somewhere around $2,400 to $3,800 a month, and larger assisted living communities commonly run around $5,100, with memory care and high-rise concierge communities running higher. Those are market ranges, not quotes. Ask each community what the monthly rate includes, what is billed as care levels, and how the rate changes as needs change.

What does your service cost my family?

Nothing. Families pay us nothing, ever. When a family moves into a home in our network, that home pays the placement fee, and we put that in writing to you at the time of the referral under Texas Business and Commerce Code Chapter 121. The same disclosure tells you that the list we give you may not include every community in the area that fits, and that you can stop using us at any time without penalty.
