When a placement service costs you nothing, the community pays them a commission when you move in. That is legal in Texas and it is also the whole reason the list you get back is the list it is. This one works the other way around: you pay, nobody else does, and there is no commission sitting behind any name on your shortlist.
License records say a community is licensed for 48 residents. They do not say whether any of those 48 beds is free this month, at your person’s level of care. Only a phone call says that, and it has to be made again every week.
The advertised rate is the base rate. The number that surprises families is the care-level add-on, the community fee, and what triggers a rate increase six months in. Getting that in writing, before you sign, is most of the value here.
Everything on the public record: who is licensed, for what, for how many, and whether they are certified for memory care. That is the free directory, and you never have to pay us to use it.
